I found a used RX480 8gb for 140€. Should I pick it up? The seller said it wasn't used for mining and I could test it right there. I have a 2400G and 8Gigs of RAM, currently There's a 960 2Gig in my Rig.

why not get a 580 for a bit more?

Because they were like 80€ more, used. I don't have that money and the 140 was still cheap for where I live

and how much would a 970 or 390x cost you?

970 about 120-140 and 390X about 160

those would actually perform a bit better, and because of the bigger power use, most miners don't use them. keep them in mind too

I upgraded from a similar card to an RX480 4Gb version and i was very pleased, if the price is good go for it i say, since its 8Gb, the 3Gb of the 970 can be limiting and the 390x is a great card but the RX480 is better supported within the latest AMD drivers, at least that's the trend i see so far from them.

Yeah I might as well just save up a little bit and get a 1060 or 580, (the 580 would be new, then)

wouldn't choose the red devil either, but those other two together with some xfx, msi, sapphire and gigabyte cards are great imo
