You might just need to flash a fresh bios onto it. Buy a used 980ti then, it's basically a 1080 when it's at 1400+mhz I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

Posted October 17 · Original PosterOP I got the card on Newegg, and that is a good idea, the 980ti. A reference one is $225 on eBay. Should I get a different card so it will run cooler when oc Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 17 The RX 5500 is supposed to be out any day now and if the rumors are true it will have 1660 performance at around $150. You may want to wait and see Link to post Share on other sites

You may want to wait and see It's probably a $199 Vega 56, which isn't half bad, but it'll also have DX9 upscaling, and half the power draw.
