All prices are in CANADIAN DOLLARS.

I was looking around the $150 CAD range for a used card.

 

Have 2 I was considering, both very equal in performance almost but one is $30 more.

 

1) Asus reference Gtx 680.  3 years old. Perfect condition -  1 year of warranty left.  $130

 

OR

 

2) Evga Gtx 770 Sc.  2 years old.  Perfect condition - 1.5 years of warranty left.  $160

 

Both come with original box & accessories.

Which one would you go for & why?  Is the $30 more worth it?  They are pretty equal in terms of performance.

Are they both good deals for the price point? Consider it is CAD please & check CAD gpu prices before commenting.

Seems like they are comparable (I'm guessing the same chip). I would look up benchmarks for the game you want to play and consider other things such as power consumption and newer technology. Here's a review of the 770 showing same performance as the 680.

 

 

 

EPINEPHRINE 2.0: Corsair Air 240 | Intel Core i7-8700K | MSI Z370M PRO AC | Corsair Dom Plats 2x8gb DDR4 3000 | MSI GTX 1080Ti SeaHawk (Hybrid) | Corsair HX1050 | Corsair H100iV2 | 850 Evo 500gb | WD Black 750gb |

AMIODARONE: CM HAF 912 | Intel Xeon E5-2670 | Intel DX79SI | 4x4gb DDR3 1333 | EVGA GTX 670 FTW | Corsair CX750 | Thermalright HR02 Macho | 850 Evo 250gb | WD Green 1TB | Seagate 3TBx2
