Worth flagging for anyone pricing these out: a used 980 Ti pulls way more power under load than anything from the last few generations at a similar performance tier, so it’s worth costing out the electricity over a couple of years, not just the upfront price. If Maxwell-era specifically isn’t a requirement, a used GTX 1660 Super or RX 580 8GB tends to land in the same rough secondhand price bracket right now and draws a lot less power for similar 1080p performance. Either way, worth asking the seller for photos/video of the fans spinning up and checking for coil whine before buying - a good chunk of what’s floating around this cheap did time in a mining rig at some point.
