Posted April 19, 2019 im digging around the used market right now and seeing a lot of GPUs and I have basic been hoovering things up that are a good price and want to know what I should be looking for as far as truly iconic GPUs that I should look for. im a fan of getting it with the box already because I like the art on the older GPUs. I know about the titans and the Ti cards and the fury cards the VEGAs and things like that but I need to know more about the cards like the GTX 690 and things like that that are just oddball cool or where gaming royalty when they where relevant any help would be appreciated.

I just saw a 690 for sale but they wanted crazy money for it $300 is not happening for that card I would pay up for one but I want it to be in box when I get it used is fine but I want it to be like new if I can find it. not just weird cards but I want the favorites and the historic cards also just basically collecting a bit of everything that didn't outright suck. unless that's what made it famous.
