Hi Guys, I am in the market for a new GPU, i've been looking at a 980 ti, but the big question is what brand do i get Scan have a Zotac 980 coming into stock on 24th which seems to be a good price and the bonus of a 5 year warranty, however all my cards in the past have been EVGA, but is it worth the jump in price as the £30+ difference is a big saving that i can use to buy ram or something else, I do plan to put the EK waterblock on this card. id really appreciate some advice been out of the game a long time. thanks in advance for any help!
I've been very happy with my MSI GTX 970 but it is a custom board and i'm not sure what water blocks EK have for MSI stuff. If you are limited to cards with a stock pcb i'd probably just go for the cheapest on the market with a reasonable warranty.
^ This. Great warranty, service, and the only folks who let you remove the cooler to mount a water block without voiding the warranty (assuming you remount the factory cooler before RMA).
This week on OCUK the artic storm is on offer and this was the card that originally set me off wanting a new GPU, its a very marmite card love/hate, it go with the theme i'm looking at & ive not got to mess with the gpu at all and it saves me £50 is.... Never been good at decisions lol
