Hello,

How much is an XFX 5870 worth second hand?

I want to buy a GPU for my friend and it seems good.

I will be using craigslist.

Thanks!

Umm, performance wise... Not sound, power, heat, etc.

Is $70 worth it ONLY PERFORMANCE WISE? thanks to all the replied.

I was thinking about selling my 780 for like $300. Why shouldn't people buy it? I assume it's the risk that some people don't take care of things?

The 5870 is still much much more powerful amd runs games ultra on a old (idk)x1024 resolution monitor...

problem is that it's very likely that the AMD card has been used for mining...nvidia it's less a common thing...but if the 5870 card has been mining for years now it's almost dead for sure.

Well the 5870 is decent, I mean on his monitor won't it be a beast?

Also (correct me if I'm wrong) but for $70 used or not, you can't get a better performing card for 1080p and less...

No point in any card under $100 dollars for any resolution.

you should save some more to get a R9 270 honestly...it would be better all around...

if you are okay with a used card maybe look at a HD7850 or HD7870

He has the money, he is just cheap lol. But performance wise, would this not be the best bang for buck?

POS? So is this the best GPU for the money? Ie bang for the buck in the $70 and no more range?

Also what's then minimum CPU for this video card. LGA 775? Also He has a 1024x768 res monitor. He plays BF3, Minecraft, Insurgency and some other games.
