Budget wise if you can go used I can highly suggest a used AMD HD7970, 7970Ghz edition, or 7950. For Nvidia if you go used a GTX 680 or 770 ( Same cards ) or no lower then a GTX 670.

If you want new for nvidia it is a GTX 950 or 960 or on AMDs side you have the R9 270x ( Is a bit more p/p then the 950 IMO ) and the R9 380 which is around 10-15% faster then a GTX 960.

 

Though if you can afford a GTX 960 or R9 380 see about getting a used R9 290/x

how can i check that will it be in the desc.

Most of the time they will state it or message the seller.

Estimate how long a life sapn of the graphics cards used vs new

As long as you don't by from vamery (Just don't...), Buying used is fine. GTX 750s, Hd 7870s, HD 6970, 6850....

Pretty much any AMD HD series card will be good. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

OP, go for a used R9 270x/GTX 760/R9 280, they are usually in the 100$ price range

Ey I don't know if I would suggest Thermi cards for everyday use. Yeah they are great and on the real low end of price but most of the time when someone gets one they get it because it IS a thermi and they just want to use it as a toy. I'd not go any earlier then the 600 series from nvidia to take advantage of some of the newer features they offer now a days but even then AMD has better budget cards to me at least because they've usually got more VRAM to last awhile longer.

Well i use a 580 not as a toy, was a real bargain and OC's like a bat out of hell..

 

Some games it can beat Kepler outright (apparently either optimisation or the lack of Compute)

Won't get a huge amount of gaming on a $100 gpu unless you're happy with low settings or just 720p.

For comfortable 1080p gaming (pretty standard these days I suppose) you'd one either of these:

Gtx 950

R7 370

 

They'll play any game at medium settings with maybe a few on high.

There's better sites to get these cheaper but I trust Amazon warranty so here's a super quick search (check yourself also for better prices with different coolers etc)

 

XFX R7 370 (cheaper) www.amazon.com/dp/B013G3WSIE/

GTX 950 www.amazon.com/dp/B013WQC9U2

 

If your absolute budget is about $100 and cant stretch another 30-50 then there's 1 uncontested king there:

 

GTX750ti www.amazon.com/dp/B00KHUE0MC/
Prices will vary based on cooler also but don't worry about it as long as it's not reference design.

It can though the lack of VRAM in the Thermi cards is also not good. Not saying it is a bad card just something like a 670 can and will perform 10-15% faster and has more features.

 Think you were going correctly towards the 950/370 but after that you're more than doubling his budget. Even a used 290 will cost over $200 (unless it's so beat up from use/mining)

I think 750ti is king here or a 370/950 if he can stretch the budget.

They take old GT 610s (I think) and mod the BIOS to show up as different cards. 

Technically its illegal but most people can't even tell.
