Why a 980? In terms of price to performance there's not much point in getting it I would go for a 390X or a 980Ti

STRIX no questions asked

It's probably best to, you know, ask questions in case the person recommending something is basing off of brand loyalty or faith etc.

EVGA 980 Superclocked is one great card

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

Get a 980 Ti if you can, since it pretty much has the performance of a Titan X but with half the VRAM.

 

IF you have to get a 980, go for one from EVGA. I personally have one (that got bent due to... things....) and it works perfectly fine. Boost clocks to 1404 and doesn't give a single fuck.

Specs:

 

Intel i7-4790K @ 4.7 GHz cooled by Corsair H80i | ASUS Maximus VII Formula |  G.Skill 8 GB (2 x 4GB) 2133 | EVGA 980 Superclocked (Fry) | 128GB Samsung 840 Pro OS Drive | WD Black HDD | 500GB Samsung 850 EVO | Corsair Vengeance K70 | Logitech G502 Proteus Core

 

 

lol @ AMD 8350
