What caused your Asus Strix GTX980 to "spoil" and therefore require RMA?

Hopefully it doesn't happen to my Asus Strix GTX970 which I have modded.

Don't really know. Never overclocked. Was running at stock. One day decided to kaput by itself.  bangwall.gif

When I collected the card today, I asked them what happened to my previous card. The shop didn't know. They just say my card was replaced with a new one but warranty still follow the date I first bought the card.

Good that your card is replaced with a new (despite same) card.

When will your warranty expire? Could wait until then for the GPU to crock and get a new and potentially GTX 1100 or GTX1200 series.

I wonder if they will continue to follow their trend of GPU names, thus far.

Bought it August 2015. Bad timing to kaput, what with the introduction of 1080/1070/RX480. If kaput one or two months later, might have considered the 1070!  biggrin.gif

Anyway, looks like 1070 didn't disrupt the value of GTX980 that much, thx to conversion rate and how "strong" RM is. However, I think RX480 will spoil the market. Whatever it is, good for new buyers in general.  smile.gif

Frankly, I hope AMD will disrupt the price. That would mean lower price for Nvidia cards which will benefit end-consumers like me.

Yeah, not so much on 1080/1070. More affecting GTX-900 series especially 970 and above. The more expensive the card, the more pain it brings..... sad.gif

Probably will upgrade my card before end of the year as it is income tax computer-claiming year!

Actually, it is for a full computer not just GPU. I had to explain previously (which is the whole PC except for HDD) to the Malaysian tax office.

Not fun.

Yes, the tax relief of RM3k once every 3 years is for a whole PC or notebook, not for parts. Do be aware of this in case you kena tax-audited.

Good for Malaysian taxpayers.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to enjoy that incentive since I am not a Malaysian tax resident anymore.

Nice...  Waiting for ppl to sell 980ti aio water cooling unit....
*hoping*

I would think the best time to buy 2nd hand GTX980ti regardless of cooling unit is after all the new generation GPUs are released (both Nvidia and AMD) and are widely available.

IF at half for easier calculation.

GTX 1070 at RM 1999 is only one particular brand of which at this point of time I have no confidence on after-sales support.

Even if we go with the above price. ~60% price but can deliver 60% - 75% performance, that also makes it a winner already. It doesn't kill the GTX 1070 in any way because after all price to performance ratio is less impressive on the higher range but what it does is that it makes all other cards both from red and green camp look bad.

May I know which brand is this so I can avoid it?

Already aware of that brand. Thank you.

It is heavy! biggrin.gif I held it at Computex, reminds me of the GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming that I'm using.

Looking forward to your review.

Also, please comment on the temperature and the acoustics.

biggrin.gif Did the temperature test during live session.

Amazing stuff, it was under 70c on Furmark load, adjusting the fan RPM % accordingly.

The card didn't touch 70c while RPM hovers at 55% at most which is around 1700 RPM through the course of 20 minutes from start till end.

Sounds interesting.

Is it audible after 70% fan speed?

If the casing is not closed and is about arm length away from you, yes it is. Not too unpleasant but it's audible.

Thanks, that is very helpful for my considerations.

Price more decent than other branded GPUs.

goldfries had good experience with the tri-fan version of GTX1080.

yea, pricing is very decent considering its Dual-Fan and not Reference/blower cooler.

Seeing single 1070 to max all in 1440p is really attractive. Cross Finger i got my new job soon  sweat.gif

Hope you get a new job soon given the current economic conditions.
