I am wanting to upgrade my GPU(s) in the next little while and have $250 USD max, buying Used isn't problem for me, so I was wondering. What would give me the best bang for my buck?

at idle unhearable at 100% fan speed its louder than a vacuum. but it only goes there when it reaches 100c which has happened 0 times

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

So under normal gaming load it would stay fairly quiet? What if I was gaming on three 1080p panels? Still fairly quiet?

I couldnt tell you because I dont have three monitors but it is definitely quieter than most think unless your pushing it really hard. you cant hear it in my system until the fan gets to 45%

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

If you are going for the used route be careful with former mining cards
