my gtx980 just crapped out last night, would like a cost effective replacement to hold me over until my next upgrade probably within 6-8months, what do you all recommend?
What is your budget? Without knowing this it's hard to make recommendations.
$250
Is your card out of warranty? Just get a used 980 Ti on Ebay.
waaay out of warranty, is that still a decent card vs cost, I haven't looked at hardware in years...
What kind of card do you want? You must not like AMD because you can get a RX 580 under 200 easily. I saw a Vega 56 by MSI for 310 with a 60 dollar rebate plus a 20 or 30 dollar mail in rebate... but that deal is gone now however they had before and so it may come back (Newegg).
