    If I was to get one of the 980 cards right now, which one would you recommend?
    I currently have Nvidia 760 Gigabyte Windforce (4GB) and will upgrade later this year :)

    I like the EVGA Superclocked models, they are a reference design so you can use an aftermarket cooler if you want and are popular so there are a lot of tweaked bios options available for it. Other good models are Gigabyte Windforce and MSI Gaming.

    Thanks! :) I have been considering waiting for the TI, but it entirely depends on how high the price increase is!

    Check people selling them used, the cards will be less than a year old and you should be able to get them $100-200 less than new.

    This guy is selling two but only ships to the US:

    Let me know if you want one of them and you can buy it through me and Ill ship it to Norway.

    Oh man, that's like 2 for 1 here in Norway :p Too bad I won't have the money to spend on a new GFX card until after summer :) But I appreciate your offer, and If I had the money right now, I would probably have gone for it :)
