Any other GPUs that are better (And not used) for $160 other than the 950.

 

Only $160 or less. (Not including MIR). Only new.

If that is your maximum budget, then the 950 is the best one you can currently buy for that money.

It's price to performance ratio is amazing.

Cheapest one is HIS and $187

You can't wait a little longer?  It'll be worth it.  The 950 isn't exactly a very good deal for the price.

This not for me. The 950 I ordered was backordered and I got a refund. I need to order another in the next 4 hours.

oh my bad so yeah unless you can find a cheap 2gb version of the R9 380 the GTX 950 is your best bet.

RMA'd cards are not new. 

 

 

They very well can be. RMA a card, sometimes they just send a new one back to you.
