So because of this gpu being as cheap as it is (980ti for $182) I am gonna buy it. But first I need to know if there is a way to use a 90 degree angle adapter to make the pci-e power pins actual pci-e connectors. This 980 ti was used in a server according to the seller.s-l1600.jpg

Looks like the original owner desoldered the power pins and just soldered in some males headers in its place.

You're gonna have to desolder in some new power headers.

That would be a hard pass from me personally.

 

Plus you can get working GTX 1070 cards for about 190-230 USD too.

Well to me it seems that it would just be the same thing right? just try and jam a pcie power connector on there (the correct direction obviously) and call it a day.

Well in theory you could just get a female PCIE 6+2 header to female *whatever fits on those pins on the board now* and call it a day.

But I am not familiar with the connection on the board currently and wouldn't want to mess with up to 225W of power like that.

Thats what I was thinking. I googled the model number and it just looks like an evga branded 980 ti founders edition board.

yea i agree with minibois it seems to much of a risk. there are better 1070 aib models for around the same money with better performance. its always better to go for the save bet xD

If you want to just plug the connector in directly, you could do that... Just make sure the clip is facing down.

Well it doesn't matter now. I managed to find a bog standard PNY GTX 980 TI for $2 cheaper. I have now bought it. I'm pretty excited to have a 1440p med/high @ 60fps GPU now
