with the new nvidia cards coming out and the "massive" price drops the 900 series is supposed to see i was wondering if i got a good deal still.

 

I got 980 reference for 250. 2 months ago that would have been a steal. is this still the case?

For $250? I'd say that's pretty good. The RX480 is looking like it's going to be performing the same for $200. So not that much of a loss, and you've had these 2 months to use it, where the 480 still isn't out yet.

 

Then again, we haven't seen reliable 3rd-party non-synthetic benchmarks of the 480 yet. So we can only go by what's been given.

 

I say you got a good deal and it was probably worth it.
