Hey just a quick question really. Basically my 980 went nuclear cause of some building work which was going on around my house at the time and basically had a power surge and my 980 seemed to get the full force somehow. Now MSi wont RMA as its not a failure which was the companies fault which I totally understand but still leaves me with no GPU at this tricky time of the year. I was looking at the r9 fury as a stop gap as here in the UK its like £290 pound at amazon for the Sapphire model and I have like 80 pound in vouchers so basically I can get it for 210. Is the fury worth it for now.

Perfectly worth. For 290 it's already a great deal, and even better at 210.

The fury is an excellent card, it will work fine.
