Gigabyte GTX 980 Xtreme Gaming

Can anyone help with a second hand valuation of this card, still 2 years warranty on it

 

Or as anyone got something similar for sale?

[Madgee]

Amazon has 2nd hand GTX 980 cards going for around £300

[kekalot]

those cards were recently quickly devalued after they release of the AMD RX 480.

 

they are still being sold at a high price, but are not worth the price because now the AMD RX 480 are being sold new averaging 9,000 to 10,000 baht and similar performance

this forced Nvidia to release the GTX 1060 which matches the GTX 980 for under 10,000 too

 

the only people who will ever buy a GTX 980 over a 1060/480 is people who have a similar 980 and wants to pair them together with SLI.

 

if you want proof: InvadeIT now only has one GTX 980 you can order, it was priced at 21,600 but reduced to 11,900.

 

I would reckon you might be able to get 8000 baht for it, maybe a little more but myself would never buy a 2nd hand GTX 980 for 8000 baht if I can get a new RX 480/GTX 1060 for 2000 baht more (new AND warranty)

Thanks  for this info.

 

just what I needed to know.

 

To a relative newcomer to building PCs I am a bit fazed with the number, variety  of CPU & GPUs and  just what is available. this together with the   new Intel CPU coming out later this month and thereby affecting new as well as second hand values  leaves me even more baffled as to what to put in my new build gaming machine .

 

I didn't have a GTX 980 for sale I was thinking of buying a second hand one  but after what you said I will not bother now and maybe look at the  1060 or even the new  480 as I have a AMD card in my present PC and it is very good 

 

I saw the  GTX 980 for sale  and the bloke wanted 12500 for it with two years insurance left on the guarantee coincidentally I offered him 9000 but he fortunately he refused  

 

Thanks again

as long as you get at least a proper i5, and at least 8gb of ram you should be OK, 2x 8gb is more future proof tho.. i7 not necessary unless you have money to blow mostly.

video cards, well. depends on budget, if you want around 10,000 I would get a 1060 over RX 480, just because of Shadowplay. (Nvidia only software that can record gameplay/desktop instantly (even minutes back like a DVR) at low processing cost),

if you have more money you can get a 1070 for 16k or so.. 1080s quite overpriced for price to performance ratio as of now.

 

I went for 1070 myself and I was not on a budget.

 

if you need any assistance regarding parts/building you can PM me, I've been doing that stuff for years. but it's much simpler than most people think tho, really.

Kekalot many many thanks!

 

You have hit the nail on the head squarely.

 

I have been evading the consideration of which CPU to get what with overall pricing effected by the latest new generation  from Intel and  also that I couldn't get my head around what were  the  immediately, apparent  and  actual practical differences  between the i7 and the i5 apart, from the cost that is!

 

I have done plenty head scratching  over the   CPU choice and its effect on the type and quality of GPU I would get 

 

Thank you I will take you up on your offer of some PM assistance but have kept this on thread  in the meantime for the benefit of those like me  who have benefited from your help

 

Once again many thanks for your thoughts and clarification.

 

regards
