So im just browsing through craigslist trying to find a cheap gpu to hold me over until i get my new rig, and a stepped across a 7870 for 60 bucks. It looks pretty legit with the only downside being the travel time to there from my apartment (Thanks New York. /s) Im wondering if this will be able to do some light gaming, and i already know it would be a upgrade from my gt 610 (dont ask). Im playing games like warframe and csgo for now, but i wanna play some skyrim aswell.
So, my question to you is:
is the card worth its price? 
Edit: added the listing photo, dont know if adding its link is allowed :D

7970= R9 280x

7870= R9 270x

those are just estimations

 

that is a great card for the money you should go get it

 

Note- make sure the card has not been mined with as they greatly lower the life span of the card

i bought a 7990 for 190$ and it died in less than 3 months

 

REMEMBER TO PUT THIS IN THE GRAPHICS CARD FORUM NOT GENERAL DISSCUSSION

I would pay 50 for it seeing that it;

Has no warranty

Single loud fan

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

This is why you get the cards from brands with transferable warranty.

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