Sorry for the repost i found 780 lightning 200 euros and 290x lightning 240-250euros used. I have mpower max msi. New 470 rx around 250 euros. Well ilike the match theme with the lightning. My games are onlines and action games adventure.  470 is the best option but ll i ll be okei with 780 lightning for 1080p gaming on high ultra? The ztrongest is the 290x. I want just stable smooth fps . Games are l2 dota lol wow bf4 cod and all adventure actions. If u pick 290x can i crossfire? On my mobo? Triple slot cards thabk you

Can't you find a used Gtx 970 in that 200~250 mark? If so, it'll be an overall better choice than any of the 3 cards.

Well, if your at 1080p and only playing games like Dota, L4D2, Wow and etc, the 780 Lightning isnt too terrible, if you value theme matching. Altough the 290X Lightning would be the better, especially with crossfire (because these cards are more likely to be found?). 470 is not as good as the 290X in terms of performance.

Really depends on if your mobo chipset supports it. Do you have the model for it?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Yeah you can, altough if they were 8GB version it would be better, so that you could play at least at High settings on Crossfire compatible games +50 fps most of times.

Used 290X's 8GB version if possible. Anything new and its a RX 470 or lower, which will not be as good. Just make sure whoever is selling the gpus, has the original retail box. Its usually better.
