GTX 980 TI Matrix why so cheap?

Briggs Ware · Dec 30, 2016

Hello,

I just got a ASUS GTX 980 TI matrix for £350 from amazon, but there is two GTX 980 ti matrix's on Amazon and the other one is £750.

I was wondering if there is a reason for why it was soo cheap? I don't think it is second hand.

here is the link to the GPU I got:
http://amzn.eu/eVxclep

Here is my full system specs:
CPU: I7 4790k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 1866Mhz CL9
MOBO: ASUS VII HERO
GPU: ASUS STRIX GTX 970 4GB (3.5GB + 0.5GB)

PSU: Corsair AX760I – I know the 750W is a bit too much but It’s the lowest in the AX/I series! XD
SSD: with the OS; Samsung 840 EVO 258GB – in RAID
SSD: for the main games; Samsung 840 pro 128GB
SSD: This is for other games Crucial mx100 258GB
HDD: For mass storage 1TB
CASE: Corsair 750D – Full tower!
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Thanks

I would guess the £350 one is 2nd hand. Have never seen one that cheap.

Hello,

Thanks for the fast reply, I was checking everywhere to see if it was or wasn't. But from what I could see it was new.
Is there a way to email or message ASUS or amazon to see???

Thanks

That is worryingly cheap. I cant find any 980 ti's for under $500 and you got a top of the line 980 ti matrix for $350? Are you sure its's a 980 ti? Even if it was used thats very cheap.

Briggs Ware :

Yes, use the contact seller link or just look under Contact Amazon on the site.

I would double-check. They do sell used parts.

Briggs Ware · Dec 30, 2016

Yes, I have checked that it is a GTX 980 TI Matrix. And I understand that it is worrying cheap, even second hand ones should not cost £350. It was the last one left and I saw the £350 and order like a reflex X'D if you check these links I couldn't find why its cheaper:

the one i have order:

the normal one:

Also, I cant seem to find where contact seller is... I cant find it under my orders? Any tips?

Hard to say from that link. If its first hand you got lucky, and no wonder its out of stock lol..

Just look in the order details or your account. If not, find Help at the bottom of the page, then choose Contact Us. You can return within 30 days anyway so dont panic. You may have just got an awesome deal.

Briggs Ware · Dec 30, 2016

Yeah, you can probably understand why I am so confused... I will have to find a way to contact them as I think it might be a system error or something that i may of taking advantage of. As I would think that a GTX 980 TI matrix would ever be £350

Put the UK one as you are quoting £ but if not, find it on the Amazon page.

Thanks, I will have a look now

so the linked worked, who does that contact, ASUS or just amazon?

You can also get a new reference gtx 980 at best buy for $274. It's not the latest and the greatest any more, so prices will inevitably drop. Once the RX 490 and gtx 1080 ti launch you'll start to see this more.
Just run furmark and monitor the temps/stability/fan action and make use of the return policy if necessary.

Briggs Ware · Dec 30, 2016

Ahh okay will do thanks

Briggs Ware · Dec 30, 2016

So amazon replied and can confirm that it is new...

Then pat yourself on the back because you got a great deal
