980TI in 2020?

[tezza192]

I'm looking at upgrading my GPU, a friend has offered me his old MSI 980TI for £150 (UK), the card is immaculate but is this a good deal? Is 980ti still decent in 2020?

100-125 quid would be more reasonable, its a fine card but very power hungry. theyre great for overclocking and mine handles 1440p pretty decently.

For 150 you can almost buy 980ti performance but in new cards. It's not the best deal but not the worst

150 pounds is pretty much the going rate, so it's a fair price but it ain't a friend price.

 

Give a pal a cheap GPU for goodness sakes!

150 GBP is too much, if it was 150 euros then i'd have said nothing.

You’d be better off saving up a bit more and buying a new card. It may look immaculate but you don’t know how much life it has left in it. It could last 6 months or 2 years, you never know. 
At least with a new card you have a warranty and a newer architecture which will age better than an old card.

try ask for 120q. still decent for 1080p gaming in 2020.

£150 is reasonable.

Seems a bit expensive to me but not unreasonable. My daily driver is a i7 3770k @ 4.4ghz with a 980ti and as above, handles most stuff with no issue, especially at 1080p. Things like GTA V and Red Dead 2 are no issue at 1440p on high settings. Still a decent card for 1080p gaming in 2020 tbh.
For reference, I paid £125 for mine via ebay auction 2 years ago, so global pandemic and UK recession aside, I'm not sure i'd go to £150 for it.

The 980ti is still very capable at 1080p

I still have mine, but since I upgrade to an ultrawide monitor (2,5K) it's struggling a lot.

 

It's a decent deal, but 125 sounds more reasonable.

Even my 980 is still ok with 1080p. The psychopaths in my city are asking 300 CAD for their 980Ti's.

 

I paid 200 for my Classified 2 years ago.. just had a loose fan

Yes this card is still relevant. Most gpu cards are good for about 5years + pending on your preferences.

I run both a 960 and a 1080 in my rigs they work pretty well.
