Any used GPU tips you have?

Preface: I live in Manila, Philippines. Use this site as reference guide for the GPU

 

I'm looking for a used GPU that's around 120USD in the country. My target is to play almost everything at high-ultra 60-65 FPS on 2015/2016 AAA titles. My first option is Gigabyte RX460 WF, and theme options are either orange or black

A GTX 1050 would perform better (or a 1050Ti if you can push a little more) but for that price, you're going to get something that does maybe 40-50 fps at best at high settings on a recent AAA title.

For used GPUs, you should look up how every GPU you're looking to buy does in the games you wanna play. Then once you receive the GPU and confirm it works, take it apart and clean the thermal paste, then put some new paste in there.

$120 + 70 shipping. That could buy me 1050Ti here

This is better imo. Less flashy, bit more performance. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M64G435

With the caveat that firmware has only been released for the Nitro and Strix RX 460s, and it might not work at all.

Can you find a used R9 380 for around your budget price?

I get you and I'd do it

 

But the used market should have a better value.

Make sure the previous owner didn't stress it for folding or meme coin mining.

Forgot about the small thing, my preferred GPU upgrade is either dual or triple-fanned

I bought that with a $20 rebate, and free shipping, so I really bought it for right about exactly $100, and plus it has 2 more GB

That's a good point because there's literally an amazon fufilment center 30 miles away from where I live
