EVGA GTX 980Ti Catches fire and burned to its death

[skyripper]

Considering the imminent launch of the 11xx cards, I wouldnt rush to buy a 10xx series card.
There are some decent prices (comparitively to the last 12 months) now though as the 10xx cards are phased out of the market.

Yeah...it's either be impatient and buy or sit and wait.......I might have to venture out into that thing they call outside

It's not that bad, the graphics are really good, especially the anti-aliasing.

The only upgrade I would do from a 980ti is a 1080ti, everything else just wouldn’t be worth it IMO

+1

I went for the FTW3, no complaints. You also have the option of a water cooled version although I like to avoid water in the PC.

Due to the new cards coming out, no doubt.

I wouldn't be buying a new 1080Ti now although I appreciate you need a card.

Might be worth you looking at a s/h card to tide you over until the new schizzle drops.

At least the water might help put out the fire next time

WOW...too soon

I would if I were you use your warranty and send it away. Chances are you would end up with a 1070 or better.

Enough to keep you going until 11 series if your really wanting to upgrade. It’s launch should be quite soon so I wouldn’t upgrade to a 1080Ti just yet.

Maybe, but at least in warranty and rest of system in tact. Could've been far worse

 

[ArnieRambo]

They got it on Monday....so hopefully ill have a new GPU by friday
