$40 for an ATI 6770

[Wreckingball]

So I'm buying an ASUS aftermarket 6770 for $40 USD, is it worth the value (the cheapest 660ti's and 750ti's online are selling for $80+ nearby)

 

EDIT: this is also the first GPU im buying for my upgrade from integrated graphics (intel GMA X4500 aka cant even run league above 20 fps at 1080p)

[thekeemo]

no

and negotiate that $80

A 5850/5870/6950/6970, any of these will destroy the 5770/6770 series, the 7770 GPU is better by a decent margin in comparison to 57/67 series, but price goes up again.

 

If you can find one of those listed above for $50 or less, grab one for decent enough Medium quality (Maybe High on some titles) 1080p gaming.

Also there would be the Nvidia alternatives..

560Ti/570/660/660Ti

I live in southern california, people think their 6950's are still high end and want ~100+ for them.

Yeah, it sucks, people selling think that cos it has 1400+ shader processors, it can be a $100 card still.

While not as efficient, by far.

You aren't looking in the right places. A 950 goes for about that price on reddits hardwareswap

Yeah, i just need a cheap card for a year or so until I have money for a real PC, my integrated graphics right now are intel Graphics Media Accelerator... based on a 65 nm architechture D:

Ill definatly have to look there later on, just trying to buy really cheap until i have a steady income flow, high school makes pc parts seem a lot more expensive

I have a 6870 that I got for 40 bucks.  I almost solely play WoW and I have to keep it below setting 4 for 1080p to have semi reasonable framerates.

[Wreckingball]

What do you define as semi reasonable? Playng LoL on integrated graphics has gotten me able to handle 25 fps  and thats while at medium low settings at a reduced resolution of 1080×920

Ive got a 7870 LE (which is essentially a 7950 with certain things disabled), the fan has had a couple fins break off (open air case and had a moth suicide dive into the gpu).

 

Never used, you can have it for $65 AUD if you pay for shipping? I live in Tasmania, Australia so im not too sure how much shipping is

Thanks for the offer! But i think shipping would be more than the card is worth its a long way to ship.
