theres a few very good tis out there , all being gigabyte xtreme gaming series
That's what one of my 980Ti cards is. A Gigabyte GTX-980Ti Extreme Gaming OC Edition card. It really ~is~ a beast of a GPU.
I tried to find another one like it but everyone wants a fortune for them. I had to settle on an ASUS 980Ti Posiden for the system's SLI. There is also an EVGA SC 980Ti on my shelf. It's the slowest one but ~not~ slow.
That's just epic, and now that you mention this, I shamefully remember that someone (could've been me) asked this before. I guess I'm still amazed... and perhaps a teeny bit jealous
Honestly, if it wasn't for my wealthy friends I wouldn't be able to keep up the pace. Being stuck on a retirement income sucks.
But I've been doing this for years. I have a set amount of cash for my disgusting PC habit every month and I do a lot of research before I buy anything.
Once my wife retires, that's gonna pretty much stop.
So it's balls to the walls until then. LOL!
When I got my Ryzen 1700X/Crosshair VI system, I paid full price for it. I like it a lot too.
But recently my wife wanted something better than her old Xeon box to work with and I found a guy who had a 1600X Ryzen CPU, another Crosshair board, and two CPU Coolers that was looking for a few RX-290X cards. I had three of them on the shelf. We traded straight across and he also sent a 700Watt PSU to me.
Her birthday's coming up soon and I get to gift her like a boss. All due to trades and deals that seem to squeak-through at the right times.
I already own a pair of Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1070s, two 1080FE cards, and one MSI 1080Ti Gaming-X TRIO.
I have a pair of GTX-1070Ti cards coming in two weeks. They're Gigabyte Gaming G1 cards. (all of my PC cash for two months bought them)
At that point, I'll be able to sell all of the 980Ti cards except for that monster Gigabyte Extreme Gaming.
Everything will have two matched GTX 10 series cards in it then and I can get that 8700K that I want.
EDIT: So I posted this comment today at 2:30. Now, at 8:00 PM, I've made a deal to trade the Posiden 980Ti for another EVGA 980Ti SC card that matches the one I already have.
I like the idea of having matching cards in my 1700X system.
