GPU upgrade

[TheCakeIsNaOH]

I am looking for a gpu for a system with-

• A Q6600, 8gb ram, and a 680i lt sli motherboard
• A 500w psu with 1 6pin
• A 1440x900 monitor(60hz refresh)
• A budget of $100usd (preferably more like $70 if possible)
• And a willingness to buy used

Yes, it is for gaming- older AAA and some newer ones(especially when there cheaper). I don't use AA but I do like texture packs or mods.

I assume you're open to the used market.

Look for things like the R9 270/x, GTX 660, GTX 750ti, 760, or a 260x

or a R9 290 that has been mined on will do you great. Just ask scrapyard wars.

r9 290s for me in the bay area run around $180 to $220 used. so if OP can find one decently priced then i think he should get one.

In vancouver, they cost that much in CAD

1. r9 290s are way out of budget- I said $100 not $200

2. new r7 250s are YERY meh compared to used cards

Well just keep it as a fall back or something

 

if you can find a used 7950 or above for about $100, that'd be the best thing you could get.
