GPU prices are way too high so i went 2nd hand.

[Evolution90]

I have a GTX 660Ti which is struggling with some games especially because of the Vram it has, so i ordered a used GTX 780 6GB, which is significantly cheaper than anything else, not too far away from a GTX 970 in performance and has plenty of Vram for 1080P.

 

I wanted to buy an RX 580 or at leats a 970.

 

Did i do well?

Item: SGRANVIGTX7806GA - Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 6 GB DX11

Quantity: 1
Unit Price: £160 / Total Price: £160

I did the same recently.

Went from a 660ti to an R9 290x which I got for £200.

Managed to get another one for £150 so crossfire 290x's for about £350.

Keeps up with a 1070 no problem

You did very well!

 

I could have got a R9 290 but was 180 and it was the stock reference one which is awful.

Hahah, yeah I had a Asus R9 290 with dual fans. It got up to 95C easily and sounded like a mowlawner

Just a quick question but is the FPS dips and long load times in Tekken 7 Vram related?

 

Load times are cut for the video.

Stock cooler is awfuuuul.

I ended up changing it on my second 290x.
