Is this card good value?

[Slayer1982]

Hello, everyone! It has been a while, and during this time I have bought a good PC without a graphics card. Now, I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and despite the amazing performance - Black Ops runs like a toaster.

So, I went looking on eBay.com and found a graphics card that looks good.It is a nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 by gigabyte for $200.

 

Good value? Or am I getting ripped off?

you should be able to get a 1060 or rx480 for around $200 so yeah that's a rip off.

Woah, definitely ripped off. Where are you located, you can get a 480 (significantly faster) brand new from Gigabyte for $179USD..

Cheapest 1050 standard. $159

[mastergamer117]

that's the double of prices on amazon

 

[Slayer1982]

Eh its fine. my budget is $200 so if anyone finds a 1080 for like $5 let me know

[Froody129]

I'd  definitely try RX 480 or 1060 if you can afford it. They have better bang/buck and will definitely last longer with better performance
