1070 or 1660 super?

[monkiflip]

hi guys, 

last night I was looking on marketplace to find a graphics card at a decent price. I have a fairly low budget, but I found a used msi 1070, in good condition, for 300 euros, which is about 350 dollars. should i buy it, even if it is almost 5 years old?

(update)

i woke up this morning, and i found a dude on marketplace selling a 1660 super for 240 euros. he said he bought it grom amazon warehouse but that it wasn't refurbished

What would you guys suggest?

Ps: the 1070 cooler is a blower

For those prices I'd go for 1660S, also because blower coolers aren't cool imo.

1660 Super, easily. Theyre both about the same performance wise but considering how that 1660S has a better cooler and cheaper price, its automatically better imho.

thats a good argument. now i know this might sound crazy but the 1070 has 8gb of vram and maybe those 2 extra gb of vram could make a difference i dont know. plus i think it should have good temps even if its a blower right? i never tried blower cards

Google "R9 290 Blower Sound", and lower the audio sound about 2 decibels. Thats nvidia blower experience in my opinion.

i had almost all of pascal fe cards and they didnt really sound that bad,yes even the 1080 ti (of course it wont be as quiet as a dual fan card, but its usable overall)

Yeah, hyperbole. But in hot place like Indonesia, blowers are massive no go unless if you love the sound of fans at 100%.
