Hello. In Sweden (where I liv) a GTX 1070 costs 749 dollars or 5999kr. Kr is the Swedish coin. One dollar is 8 swedish kr. I really want to get a 1070 but the prices are to damn high. I wondered if I'm not just better of getting a used 980 or 980ti. You can get a 980 for around 375 dollars or 3000kr  used in Sweden. If your lucky you can get a 980 for around 450 dollars in Sweden. What should I do. I also have the opertunity to buy 2x GTX 780 for only 250 dollars. Is that worth it or is the cards so old that it is just going to be to porly optimised with drivers? Help me pls. Thanks

first off go for 970 or 980 ti

 

if you cant afford 980 ti then go with 970 as you can then save for a next upgrade.

 

980 logically is not better than the 970 enough to warrant the price difference.

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

Buying a NVidia card before the XX80ti launches is paying an early adopter tax because the TI launch always drops the prices of the other cards. Buying a founders edition card is paying early adopters tax on top of early adopters tax.
