Alright, I just got fucked by a power outage in my house due to lighting/thunder (whichever one it is that causes this shit to happen) and my graphics card somehow got fried by it and everything else is fine.
What's a good replacement for a gtx 970? it's a gigabyte model and apparently they have some warranty. if that doesn't go through I'll definitely need a new card, what's a good replacement with consideration for the horrible markups due to cryptocurrency miners?
The processor it's paired with is a i7 4790k and I do game a bit and due video editing. Should I just grab another 970 or go for something new?
I'm still butthurt.

Kinda sucks bro because it's a terrible, terrible time to buy a GPU.

forget about the graphics card for now, get yourself a surge protector... but you can get a 980 ti for as low as 300 these days. although I heard 1060 still beats it in some areas.

I know man, it makes it that much worse.
I'm considering grabbing a really cheap 1050.

Would a gtx 980 ti be a whorthwhile investment? they are a roughly double the price of a 970.

Now is the worst possible time to buy a graphics card thanks to miners

Why is it a terrible time?
It's a great time to buy a GPU to mine Bitcoins right now.
