Hello everyone!

Just want to know what card would be better for my computer specs

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-980x (12M Cache, 3.33 GHz ) (NO OC)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE X58A-UD7
Ram: 10GB DDR3
SSD 128GB & WD 1TB

Every answer helps!!! Thanks!!

Which gigabyte version of the GTX 980 & GTX 980 TI is the best?

I mean, the 980TI is the stronger card.
980X is showing it's age, especially at stock speeds - but with a decent OC, it should pair well enough with a 980TI, although will limit the card in some titles.

980ti. Why not getting much newer cards?

Neither. 1660 minimum for decent gaming

Without context, we don't know why the OP is considering those specific cards.

To say a 1660 is the minimum required for "decent" gaming is ludicrous. A 980TI is roughly on par with a 1070, there are at least 50 modern(ish) GPU skus that give lesser performance and yet could provide a "decent" 1080p gaming experience.

Of course, depending on the price, a 980/980TI may not make a whole lot of sense to purchase in 2019, but for the right price, it's still an awesome card.
