What GPU to buy?

[Zucchini]

I've been using my HD 6950 2gb for almost a year now and its charm is wearing off.

It can run Rainbow 6 ` at 10-60fps on the lowest and on 480p, my eyes hurt all lot. 

So I went looking on the local second-hand website and holy fuck is it depressing. broken cards are going for 100+

there was a nice 780 last weak sold for $185 NZD, I missed the auction end ;-;

I have seen a GTX 680 4gb for $150 NZD (100usd), so is it worth it or is it just a prank.

I've seen it's almost = to a 1050ti. 

any recommendations??? buy it???? wait for more shit????  

also I only really want to play games like Rainbow, and I guess PUBG, and insurgency sandstorm when it comes out (it runs on the unreal engine).

Are you saying that the 680 is about the same price as a 1050ti?

Hii,

 

I think you should look into a nice high end gpu.

a 980ti for around 350$ would be a great upgrade.

Or maybe look into a new 1060 6gb seen em around 280$

If your budget is a bit bigger also the 1070TI is a good value for 400$ second hand 500$ new

I meant performance wise...

Oh alright, because a 100 dollar 1050 TI would be a great deal.

m8 i have 200nzd, thats 140ish USD, plus fucking tax.

980 still goes or $350-500 here. let alone a brand new card.

kek

Look for 670, 680, 760, 770 cards. They are all roughly the same but with a couple cores enabled/disabled and different clock speeds.

Then this is not the time to be looking at fast GPU's

With a bit of luck you might find a r9 290 around 150$ that would for sure be faster!

how much is an R9 285, R9 380 or R9 270X where you live?

[tjthebomb9]

Have you looked at an R9 280x? Not sure how much they run in your country secondhand, but it's a decent card. I rocked one for years until I recently built a new rig and it handled modern games on decent settings @ 1080p.

there is one for $340, which is BS, there are two r9 380's but they don't seem to keep up with the 1050ti so I kept away. I saw a 290 for $300 bullshit also. I think it's waiting for the right thing that the right price but the gtx 680 4gb excited me. if you want to look yourself https://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/components/video-cards/pciexpress?rsqid=7c179f9eb5024bc6b99bb0211d16e13c

I cant have the long tri fan cards it won't fit in my case which is a bum as they always go for cheap.

I just sold my MSI 770 Twin Frozr a few days ago for $70 USD...now I feel like I gave it away too cheap

[Invisible tech Budjanovci]

What about 750 Ti ? it could run PUBG  1080 p low to medium.
