Used 980TI in 2021

Khaleesinikov

I have to put together a complete PC and GPU's are basically non existent on the market.
For 1080p@60 i found a 980TI for 285 USD. a 1660 is 350$ used (a 1660 super is 550$ new), a 1070 is around 300 or more.

I don't really want to buy a 1650 because thats around 230$ used.

 

I live in hungary, so thats why the prices are so huge.

 

AMD cards are around the same price

 

I can't wait for better deals because i have a week to put this pc together.

 

So would a 980 TI be worth it or should i buy a 1050/960 for around 60-90$ and wait for the prices to go down.

Its just been recently that my Fury X cards (980 TI competitor) are really showing their age in new titles for keeping 1080p 60 FPS on high settings.  Id get that (980 ti) over any 1050 or 960 - as you will be getting 6gb of RAM which is okay for todays standards and it still has a little life left in it, imho.

 

But those prices are atrocious.  Since I dont live in your Country to understand what is normal vs what is not - I then lean towards finding the CHEAPEST alternative and think perhaps maybe a $60-90 card placeholder is a better idea.

 

I would never pay that for a 980 ti basically.  It offends my senses in 2021 lol.

If its a must then i'd also recommend getting a 60-90$ placeholder and waiting it out, i'm certain the GPU market will recover and you can get something much better later on.
