Thoughts on a GTX 980 used?

SeanAngelo

So since my GTX 670 died 2 days ago, my brother found a Zotac GTX 980 AMP! Edition used for £220. A new GTX 970 is £250 so put that in mind. The guy bought it second hand before so....

 

If any of you have this particular card, I'd like to know your opinions on it :)

 

I'd like to know your thoughts. Is it worth it?

 

Thanks,

Sean.
