^^ 270X

 

don't see much else, really... no point in buying new at this price point. might as well risk the used market (it's not all that bad usually anyway, I got my cards used and they are still fine [see sig])

Are 750ti's really that cheap in the US?

I would go for an r7 365. the r7 270 is basically an overclocked version of it.

I paid $140 for a Strix version but you can find them for $120 or less.

If you can find one cheap the GTX 750Ti is a mighty card, I have one of them for my tv rig and it can do about 55fps in the likes of GTA 5 with most settings on high
