Samsung 980 Pro vs Nvidia GeForce GT 710

I do think these are a bit pricy even on sale, but if you play a lot of console games, a necessary purchase. 4 stars

Both can be found for around $100 and I wouldn't pay more than $150 for one, lately they've often been selling for more but there's always deals that pop up under $150, you've just gotta be on the lookout for them, when 3000 stock is better and you can get the gpu you actually wanted then you should be able to sell your placeholder card for around $100 once the market normalizes again. The GT 710 and 1030 that some people have recommended are NOT for gaming, they're only meant as a video output for cpu's without graphics and won't run most games well if at all, so if that's all you're looking for and you don't want to use your pc for gaming yet then those would be your cheapest options, I'd definitely recommend getting one used as you'll pay about half the price for it and you can either keep it as a troubleshooting card or sell it for pretty much what you bought it for.

will i recommend it to a friend? no! do your research and find out which other pcie4.0 m.2 drives beat this one and buy literally any of those.

5 stars for what I paid for it. But ?I don't want to over-inflate people's ideas of what it does. Got this for a mini Optiplex refurbish unit. It's not a powerhouse
