GPU Best Bang for Buck

[mustangkonn]

So I'm looking online at a few used GPUs people are selling and I'm trying to figure out which are the best cards, abd which are going to be the best deal for my money!

Im looking at the following options:

GTX 670 - $180

Gigabyte nVidia GTX 760 Oc - $150

Asus GTX 770 - $200

2 Asus R9 290's DCU2 Oc - $250

Radeon Hd 6790 - $?

Radeon Hd 6970 - $100

Radeon 7970 (claims to be same Gpu as R9 280x?) - $200

I know its a lot of work to look up or talk about all of these cards so I appreciate any feedback! If someone could let me know if any of them are a decent deal and if so, which would be the best bang for my buck!

I'm looking to upgrade from my Sapphire Vapor X Hd 4890 and I'm pretty sure these would all be an improvement.

NOTE Im currently running a Gigabyte 990fxa motherboard with an AMD Fx 6100 CPU and 8gb DDR3 ram, so if any of the aforementioned cards aren't compatible with my setup please let me know!

Thanks so much for all your guy's support, you've been amazing as a community so far!

whoah back up, I got a 7970 for 130. if you want to go a used card, 7950 is 80-100, and 7970 is 130ish. best bet right there. be sure to stay away from anyone selling more then 1 card though, as it may be mined on. 

 

 

Right now, Im running a 7970/7950. best investment I ever made. a single card can run far cry 4 at 1080P 60 fps when its overclocked. and I have 2. for aprox 210$.

The R9 290 is the fastest single gpu out of the lot so 2 would be the best bet in terms of raw power. The also run hotter and use more power so be aware of that.

Two R9 290's for $250? That's way too good to be true. Either the seller is a moron or those are broken.

By the way, you can buy a brand new XFX Double Dissipation R9 290 for $220 after rebate and get a lifetime warranty. That's what I would do with roughly $200. I can't believe it's still in stock. This is the best video card deal I have seen since Black Friday.

Two R9 290s would blow most things out of the water (besides two or three 980s). Though two R9 290s for ~$250 is quite sketchy.
