Best 900p card sub $150USD?

[PokeCatz]

Im looking for a card that can run almost every game at 900p 60fps stable. Specifically PUBG. Right now I have a 650ti paired with an i7 3770, and while the GPU is pinned at max, the processor is only about 30%. I kinda want to change that. 

 

(Card can’t have more than 2x 8 pin connectors, and I dont want a GPU older than 2012)

GTX 690 or 780 TI (or something like a 960-970 if u can or maybe even 980 if you can get a very good deal)

Means would be too overkill for 900p,but if you upgrade you monitor,you won't need a better GPU

RX 570 on sale if you can get it at all

 

Otherwise go for something like 1080 Ti

 

EDIT: Not 1080 Ti, 780 Ti

I think a second hand card would be the best. Maybe an r9 fury x or something

690 really? pubg is awful at optimization, doubtful would run SLI and that card consumes shitton of power and hot af

780ti now barely beats a 970 and oldhttps://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2724-gtx-780-ti-benchmark-in-2016?showall=1

@Gaurav S Rao @JDE The 780/Ti were castrated over the years in terms of support, and they do quite poorly on newer titles.

 

I'd recommend either going with a GTX 970, or a 1050Ti. Maybe a 980 if you can find a good deal on one.

oh well,but a 690 is better than a 1050 ti,means it runs hot and is requiring couple of powerhouses is the drawback about it.What about 10 GT 210's?

where did you get the fact 690 better than 1050ti?? i told you its just 2 cards put into ine, most games dont support sli and especially pubg so it would perform like a single 680

 

you cant run 10 gt 210 for gaming,max is 4 way sli. and even if you can it would be crap, 210 is an entry level card for the 200 series

well i didn't get it from anywhere,but a 580 is between a 1050 and a 1050ti,a 680 is around 1050 ti grade,and a 690 is 5% faster than a 980,means not a hell of a lot of VRAM is available tho,but it can ez game at 900-1080p,maybe even 1440p,means the drawbacks of it running hot as hell,idk maybe could also be good for a new stove,and good for melting cases? IDK.

 

EDIT:About the 210's,it was a joke,who would want the world's shittiest value GPU????????

So based on these answers, I think I would go with the GTX 970. The 970 was one of the most popular cards for 2 years and I think there should be a good market for them. What's the price point I should be looking for?

Market is area dependent. I've seen them as low as $180 Canadian here. I wouldn't pay any more than $200.

R9 390 is also a good option. Price depends on area.

5% faster with good SLI scaling perhaps. Good luck with that "5% faster" in games like PUBG that don't work with SLI. Let's not forget that a GTX 690 only has 2GB of usable VRAM. Good luck with that in 2018.
