If its being posted via ebay then how will you see it demonstrated? He could mail you a dead card for all you know and claim either you broke it or that it was damaged in transit. You won't get your money back.

 

I would only do this if it was collection only and he/she showed me it working.

 

Just my 2 cents(/pennies).

That's true! I think I may as well go for the gigabyte one brand new from Amazon.

Sadly most of people nowadays buy GPU for gaming and userbenchmark didnt use games for their benchmark.

Only a rendering apps.

Its best just to look at the gpu review and the games they want to play.

Yeah, but you need to understand that this is to show the relative difference between GPUs using the same testing methodology, this means the comparison is accurate, but it only shows how performance on one card relates to another when tested with the same applications.

 

It's just a tool, but it roughly shows the difference between most GPUs. Of course it doesn't take into account maturing of drivers etc as launch-day scores are still there lowering averages for some AMD cards such as the 290X or 480 but it's more-or-less accurate, on the contrary to the gpuboss...

Are you saying you are going for a new 1050Ti for £150? Literally everyone is telling you the 470 is the superior card in every respect. Its your choice and our money ofc :).

 

But this stigmatism around AMD products really has to stop, buying elsewhere when AMD are offering a better product at the price range will kill the company. Why innovate and price competitively when no one is going to buy your stuff anyway?

I don't have anything against AMD as I have an AMD CPU in my system. I was originally going to go with a 480 but that's well out of my budget. I just saw an Asus 470 for £170 So I'm going to go with that. Thanks

How urgent are your needs? The 500 series will go on sale any day now. Causing 400 series to become clearance stock. This could cause the 470 to drop a little maybe £20-30.

If you're going £20 over for a 470, can you not go £30(so an extra 10 over the 470) over for a 480?

Whats the AMD cpu in your system though? if its an apu you might as well get the 470 rather than the 480, unless you plan to upgrade soon.

That's true! I have an AMD A8 6600K APU (I know, not great but gets the job done!)
