New Cheap GPU

[newcbomb]

So I just bought a GTX 780 FTW like a month or 2 ago, and it died. Im not sure why but if anyone could answer that question it would be great. 

 

Anyways, so I need a new GPU around $150 USD (I got the 780 for $140) It can be used and i would like a passmark score of 7000-8000. 

 

Thanks

Did you buy the 780 new or used?

Used, it had a Passmark of 8000 on my PC so im looking for similar price and performance.

Also i would like 2 DVI as well as HDMI for my 3 monitors.

You could get on craigslist or some other website like that and try to find one near you.

The only option you have with that budget is a 1050Ti 4GB.

A 1060 3gb  on craigslist might go for 150bucks

Did you check Ebay?

Yep, would a GTX 960 2GB FTW for $140 be worth it?

They perform worse than your 780.

Yes, but you should look around more for maybe a 970.

AMD Radeon RX 460

is also an option

The only option you have with this budget in the "new GPU" section, would be a GTX 1050ti 4GB variant in the mini design, which only have 1 DVI port, 1 HDMI and 1 display port, so, if you want to get the X2 DVI ports+ the additional X1 HDMI port, you will have to spend a little bit more on the dual fan designs which cost an additional 20-$30 for the ports you want, otherwise, you can just buy an adapter.

The performance difference between the 1050ti and the 960 are comparable within a small margin where the performance difference is very minimal. The 780 outperforms the 1050ti and if you can find one used for $150, then its definitely worth it.

Cards faster than the 780:

1060 and up

970 and up

RX 570 and up

470 and up

390 and up

290 and up

 

Cards under the 780 but not far off:

1050 Ti

960

770

680

380X

280X

7970

@TheBeastPC @Bworde15 @IziBartek does this look like a A. OK deal and a legit card? https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GEFORCE-GTX-780-SUPERCLOCKED-3GB-GDDR5-384bit-REFERENCE-EDITION-CARD/142542910616?epid=220476685&hash=item2130383498:g:tosAAOSwi0xZ5rO1

I looked at the seller and it doesn't look legit because multiple of the reviews said the same thing, and the feedback was 100% positive with 16 positive, 0 neutral, and 0 negative.

 

This tells me that they might be trying to make themselves look really good but over did it. Usually a good seller has 80-95% positive feedback with some neutral and negative reviews.
