How much is my gpu worth?

[MarkoCroatiaMC]

So, I have an ASUS STRIX GTX 980 Ti that I've been using for nearly 9 months and I've been planing on selling it to buy an ASUS STRIX GTX 1080 or maybe MSI's X version of the 1080 (which one is better??). Any idea about the current price of my gpu?

[Totallycasual]

I have a 980ti also, i know how tempting it is to think about dumping a card that's still doing a great job to buy the next best thing but maybe just take some time to think about how badly you really need a new graphics card  

 

It will take some self restraint but i plan on holding onto mine until it no longer does the job i need it to do.

How long do you think the 980 Ti will last?

first off ^ he is right dont dump your card as it is still a perfectly good card, but your card is worth a solid $375 - $425

[Totallycasual]

What resolution are you gaming at? What games/work are you doing? Most importantly is it still doing a perfectly good job? 

[21rkosta]

if you want to sell it sell it now... because people are going to start paying less and less for 980tis as time goes on

@grayblizzard dude i dont think thats right because the new 980tis keep going on sale for that price that you said his used one was worth

1080p, all new games

*lmfao*

[don_svetlio]

The 980 Ti is worth about 350-400$ now

[Totallycasual]

Same boat as me, you'll be fine for a long while at that resolution

the ones that sell for the price i told him are of a lesser value because of worse coolers, manufacturing or design

On tech talk yesterday, Jayz said he sold the 3 980 Ti of the owner of redmist for 300$ each, with waterblocks on them.

[21rkosta]

they had the msi 980ti golden edition for 399 with a 30 dollar rebate, and the golden edition cooler is actualy a pretty nice gpu cooler

I think this is more of a barging right thing, but if I were you I would just keep your current GPU. there is no reason to get a 1080 if you're only on 1080p

 

[Zyndo]

I also have 980ti on 1080p. If you're like me, you can max every single game out and stick to 60 fps without breaking a sweat. I don't plan on getting a new GPU until at LEAST 1080ti or titan, but probably wont be until the next gen of card comes out (or unless I increase my resolution at some point). 980ti gonna kick some serious ass for a while yet. And the jump from 980ti to 1080 is only about 20%-ish better. Probably not worth dropping all that cash onto it for a marginal improvement.

But ain't it logical? GTX 1080 on 1080p?? *throws himself out of the window for failing at another retarded joke abouz nvidia's gpu lineup*

I do agree the naming could have been better, but I think you have seen the benchmarks and those tell you that is way to overkill for 1080p

Then there is absolutely no reason for you to upgrade, unless you want the bragging rights.

No it is not XD, no vrm heatsinks

I just sold my Gigabyte 980 Ti G1 Gaming for $450, but that was only days before the 980 Ti's went on sale.  I would target $350-$400 now.

[MadyTehWolfie]

I personally wouldnt pay more then 400 for it. As  I can get a brand new gpu the 1070 for 415-420 and the 1070 beats a 980ti.

[MilfShake]

Why do you need gtx 1080 if you game at 1080p?

Why do you even need 980Ti if you game at 1080p?

 

A single 970 can max out almost every game @ 60fps at 1080p

May I ask why you have a 980 Ti just for 1080p 60 fps?

My old €200 R9 280 can get 60 fps on every game I play maxed out in 1080p.

Because in some games, some of the really graphically extreme games, its good to have that buffer. when I say "max" i mean max everything. not just high/ultra preset. even the things that don't make sense. max AA, max antisotropic, max shadows, blooms, whatever else the game has to offer. When I played tomb raider 2013, I only was getting around 70-80 fps with truly maxed settings.

Next is to guarantee I get 60 fps. I don't want 54, I don't want 48, I don't want any of that, not even for a moment. If i maintain 60 fps 100% of the time, then V-sync doesn't give me any stutters or glitches whatsoever. I also got it for the extra assurance that it would always do that, even in future games. And I plan to use the rig for a few years. I'm aware something like a 970 would have been totally fine for my needs in current games, but it doesn't account for future games.

Lastly? I had the money. I picked up an extra job during the winter in order to really put some cash away for this.I wanted a computer that I would never have to worry about. Been using budget machines and pre-built best-buy things for a long time... and I wanted to really see how good a computer could be. I'm aware its not the smartest or most economical choice, but it is 100% exactly what I wanted out of my computer, that's why I got it.
