My video card died, what can I buy?

[rus4u]

Hi all,

my 3.5 years old video card Gigabyte GeForce® GTX 980 Ti WindForce 3 OC 6GB died today.

I have Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 Intel Skylake ATX Motherboard and using 3 monitors so need 3 DVI ports or 2 DVI ports and 1 display port(using DVI to display port adapter).

Which video card should I buy?

Thanks for any advised

What's your budget? Do you have gsync monitor to be restricted to NV GPU?

Budget?
what montor, res, frequency, gsync/freesync ?
Do you need one right away or can you wait a few weeks for the aftermarket 5700XT's or 2080 supers?

I have one main monitor 27" - ASUS VC279H, resolution: 1920x1080 , Analog Signal Frequency? ASUS website says 30~80 KHz(H)/ 56~76 Hz(V), not sure what is freesync.

The other 2 monitors, just regular ASUS 24" I use for Internet browsing.

Would want a video card asap as I play games almost everyday.

Budget around £300-500

DVI ports are going to be an issue. You're going to need Displayport to DVI converters (not the other way around) fitted to your video card.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Akasa DisplayPort Adapter (active) on DVI - Black (AK-CBDP15-20BK)= £14.99

Total: £18.47 (includes shipping: £3.48)​

2080S will be out of your budget, along with the Radeon 7

If you like modding then a 5700XT would give you best value, other than that you get 2070S or a 2nd hand 1080Ti (depending on the price and source)

tbh at 1080p gaming res even your 980Ti is overkill if you intend to stick with that then go for Navi imho.

I just game, 2070 or 2070s are the ones I am looking at atm

If I was buying a new card today, would go for 5700xt.

 

[opethdisciple]

2070 Super if you have Gsync otherwise 5700xt or 5700

At 1080p a Radeon 5700 (non XT) is the way to go but as previously mentioned you will need some display port to DVI adaptors..
