Does anyone know a GPU under 130 USD (my case has negative pressure) Also I prefer nVidia over AMD since nVidia has the stuff I want (shadowplay, g-sync, etc.) the resolution I'm playing is 1920 x 1080 and using 2 1280 x 1024 monitors

GTX 950

i like linux

Why ShadowPlay? OBS or DXTory will give you much higher quality videos?

Why G-Sync? Freesync monitors are literally $100's cheaper and is better and has proven to be better.

I agree with this but he wanted an nvidia card.

If he is spending $130 on a GPU he should not be spending that money on a g-sync monitor.

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

This one's $140 but has a $10 mail-in rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127935

 

But you'll pay $100-200 more if you want to get a G-Sync monitor than you would if you got Freesync. It's your choice.

 

This AMD card performs about 5-10% worse. It goes for $120 and has a $15 MIR. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150752&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I'd like to test out Shadowplay so I can do a comparison, I forgot freesync was a thing,

i5 2500k, motherboard is Asus P8P67 Pro, 8GB ram, NZXT Lexa S, 500GB WD Green, Xigmatek Dark Knight cooler

a gtx 970 is the max gpu i would pair with your rig

try getting a GTX 950 for $130?

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Look it up though shadow play is very limited,

so an upgrade to a 3770k could help, and get some new ram (I have 1333 RAM)

it should help, especially if you're planning to use a higher end GPU

so your cpu wont pose any issues in more cpu demanding games lol

this just turned into "i need an new gpu" into a "i need new cpu, ram, and gpu"

well you dont need it, lol

as long as your cpu is still doing fine then its fine xD

btw new gpus are launching soon so maybe you should wait? :P

the 970 maybe as cheap as a 960 when pascal/polaris release

i doubt lol

but i dont recommend getting the 970 when the newer gpu are available since they should have better performance in DX12, which maxwell cards dont really do well on
