Gtx980 just died,need new card

Hi my gtx980 card died yesterday and i now need a new card asap. the monitor i have currently runs 1080p
I wont be upgrading the monitor for a little while yet unless it stops working.

I am thinknig of getting a gtx1070 ti

Would you recommend getting this or is it overkill and just get a 1060 card.

1070Ti for def over a 1060, new crrds rumoured to be very close though so if holding off is an option maybe do that

my pc doesn't have onboard graphics or would have waited for the new ones coming out soon.

Found a Palit one aswell,which would be the best one, this or the zotac ?
im not that great when it comes to pc stuff

Mark1989 · 27 May 2018 at 09:46

Zotac all the way, I've found palit cards always feel cheap

That Ti is a perfect replacement and bloody fast! Get it man, it'll last you yonks and they have a 5yr warranty :cool:

That is not a bad price for a Ti plus 5 years warranty if you 100% can't wait till next gen I'd go for that. It'll be a good jump over the 980!

I had a Palit 980ti give up last week too. Goes into windows fine, but anything that uses it just crashed to a black screen and needed a hard reset (tried in 2 machines). Got an RX580 in it now, working fine.

A 1070 is faster than a 980. A 10780ti even more so. The new 1170 is rumoured to be about as fast as a 1080ti. So honestly I would wait if you can. It's only a few months away.

Indeed we do!

Got a feeling the 1170 is going to be a little more cut down than usual, no proof just a feeling. Should still be a really good performer though, but I'm doubting 1080Ti level...

What happened to the 980?

You might consider spending £30 or so on a non-gaming GPU like a Geforce GT 710 if you can hold off for a month.

Regarding how the 1070 was as powerful as the big Maxwell chips, I think that was due to the die shrink more than anything so I won't expect to see as good an increase this time around, That said it has been a long time since Pascal released so Nvidia may pleasantly surprise us on the performance front again, but I then wonder if like Intel they're going to become complacent, giving us only little improvements until they need to do otherwise.
