Somebody is willing to sell me their MSI 980ti gaming 6G for 350 euro.
The card is half a year old, it comes with the receipt and still 1,5 years of warranty on it.
It will be replacing my 780ti which is falling short at 1440p
Now I'm not sure if I should go for this deal or wait for 1070 prices to settle down and get a decent aftermarket one for 450 euro.
Pro's of the 980ti:
- I can get it now
- Oc'd it will probably be 5-10% faster than an oc'd 1070
Pro's of the 1070:
- Brand new card versus a used one
- Much less power draw
- Longer driver support most likely.
What do?

Depends on how much he's raped the card with OCing it. 350 euro. Also, I don't think MSI warranty is transferable.
The cards are pretty much identical in power regardless.

I don't think the warranty is an issue.
All of that determined by law, and it would be really weird if warranty does not switch hands when ownership of a product does.
I just looked up the prices on the 1070 and it's 520 euro.
I guess that settles it, the 980ti oc'd seems to edge out the 1070 and with this much of a price gap I don't really care about power draw, even it if costs an additional 20 euro a year

nvidia gimps its older cards with each driver release
your 980ti will be performing worse to the 1050/1060 one year from now
if you're gonna buy nvidia, buy the 1080 or wait for the 1080ti. Otherwise go for the 480X.

I doubt I will see that happening.
The reason the gap between Keppler and Maxwell widened over time was because Nvidia didn't optimize for Keppler anymore.
Keppler and Maxwell were two different architectures.
The difference between Pascal and Maxwell is very small, so optimizations for Pascal will benefit Maxwell too.
Just like older AMD cards benefit from optimizations to newer cards, because they have been on the same architecture for almost 4 years now

Spotted the AMD fanboy

Its a joke. The drivers never get worse.

Going to a 480 from a 780ti probably isn't worth it for the money.
If I were in OP's shoes I'd dial back AA and some of the other more useless graphics settings.
Chasing after maxing everything gets expensive fast. The 780ti is still above the price to performance sweet spot.

Keep telling yourself that.
Just don't make a thread one year from now with this pic in the OP, complaining about how you got "cucked" by nvidia.
Cause we warned you nigger.

Just stop. You, specifically, in every thread. Stop.

This is how warranties normally work. They only cover the original owner of the product
