Hey Everyone,
Current Setup: i5 3570k
stock gtx 960
thermaltake purepower 680w power supply (you'll see why this is important)
I found a used gtx 980 in excellent condition for $250. My power supply only has two 6 pin connectors and is probably close to 15 years old so I'm planning to replace it if I get the 980 since it requires two 8 pin connectors. While I've never had the problems with the current power supply, I would want to make sure if it goes out, it doesnt fry up anything else with it.
Currently with the market prices I can't even get a decent gtx 1060 6gb for a reasonable price. Would you recommend proceeding with the purchase of gtx 980 or just waiting for something new?
I've heard the rumors about the new Ampere/Turing architecture, but those sources haven't been confirmed by NVIDIA. I also have a 144hz freesync monitor, but AMD prices are even worse right now. I would prefer an AMD card solely to support the adaptive sync feature in the monitor, other than that, NVIDIA has always been a winner in benchmarks I've reviewed.
I mostly play cs go, fortnite, a few AAA titles. I'm also trying to get into PUBG. Do you think it's worth the switch?
Thanks for your help.
