What GPU Should I buy

[Lk4583]

Hey guys I have a challenge for you, I'm looking for a second hand (or new) GPU for $350 AUD. I've looked at the GTX 970 but I would still have around $50 spare (it costs $300). So could anyone find a good deal for $350 AUD or is it best to just save the $50. Thanks

1. You might want to update your profile picture.

 

2. Gumtree AUS got mad deals, look around your area for some.

Go used because a 970 isn't worth $300 AUD used

1. hahah i keep on forgetting

2. Gumtree is in a bit of a crisis atm with the bitcoin mining craze but I'll give it a crack brb.

for some reason the RX 580s doubled in price recently, and so did all the other gpu's in Australia....

What sort of gaming would you be doing and what other specs would it be paired with

Well here's the situation, I Just sold my RX 480 because as you said i literally sold it for the same price i bought it for. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED but I'm planning to buy a I7 3770 and my remaining money to the GPU (the 350 AUD). So basically 16GB I7 3770

So why did you get rid of the RX 480 in the first place?

and theres NOTHING on gumtree under $350 with decent performance lol

Well My RX 480 was being bottle necked by my I5 2500k so I sold it for the same price that i bought it for (it was 11 months old).

U said you have 350$, you can find deals for that price. If you are not going to get the 980ti just buy a new 1060 or similar, don't go for a 970 please

ah ok

Is $350 the most that you'd pay?

or could you spare a bit more and if so, how much?

I could spend an extra $75 but that's cash for another project. -At most I could scrap out around $25 to $30
