550 Ti to used 590 Worth it?

[Ruostunut kokis]

I found an used Gigabyte GTX 590 on sale for <300€. Is it worth it to upgrade to it from an Asus GTX 550 Ti? I know it'd be better to get something new instead, but I'm rather tight on budget. The GTX 590 I found was just over a year old with little use and no overclocks.

If I'm going to buy it, then I have to find a way to bribe my mother (she lives partially with my money and doesn't want me to use my own money for anything).

Wait to the 9xxx series. A 550 Ti is plenty.

Nah. I can't afford new graphics cards, and the used 590 is on sale for only 6 days. Not saying that 9xxx series would be bad. When it comes out it's gonna cost a lot. That's all.

Wait for the quadro k7xxx. Ok being serious you might as wait as the 590 is powerful but im sure you will get a great gpu as well as some fancy features if you wait for what amd has in store for us next.

The problem is not the performance AMD fanboys, the problem is the op has a tight budget. So its about MONEY. M-O-N-E-Y.

Get it if your PSU can handle it.

Pretty sure my current 750W PSU will do fine.

I like how everyone misses the fact that AMD makes more than Flagship cards. A 9870 would be a good card. The problem with the 590 is heat, and it's old architecture. I'm not an AMD fanboy, I just couldn't get a 660 in my budget is all

And for me, problem with 9xxx series would be the price. Since it's not even released yet, high prices can be expected.

 

But if I could've found something like used 7850 (or better, or something like 660 or better) for <200€, I'd definitely buy it. Not hating AMD. Just being real tight on budget, and that 590 for just 260€ was a rare kind of deal.
