Best used GPU for £100?

[asim1999]

Hey all,

‘I sent off my threadripper system to be built by a local IT company as I didn’t want to have any problems with my replacement Zenith Extreme.

They called me up today to say that the CPU and motherboard work fine this time and that it boots into BIOS.

However, the system does not post when my 980 Ti is in. It must be dead as it gives off a high pitched click which is the sound of capacitors. 

There is honestly no point buying an expensive card right now as I will save up for the GTX 1180.

Therefore are there any good used cards on eBay for up to and around £100 that will be good?

Why used? for that money you can get 1050ti which is decent enough for gaming on the low.

Just use a 750Ti and sell it later on. They hold their value quite well.

The cheapest 1050Ti on Newegg is 125 pounds.

£125 plus shipping and tax to the UK will increase the price by a lot..

Read the description, because the price was off in my opinion. First line made me cringe. But you know, gotta give him credit for trying to sound smart

The Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 280X VAPOR-X OC is an expansion card which is used to create the images on your display.

Why don't you look up different GPU's on UK used sites like Gumtree or what else were there. i don't live in the UK. Also, you'll most likely find a card between the years of 2013-2015 at that price, those cards aren't bad, but be aware. those cards were a hot thing when the mining craze was. so some might be faulty, but sold as working. Mining aside!

you will be pretty good with a R9 280(X), or a HD 7950, they are the same card, but the R9 Tends to be more costly. I had a 7950 once, a very rare version of it though, the 7950 usually 2x 6pin connectors i had a 6 and 8 pin connector on it, if you can find one like that, you can mod the GPU Bios to be a 7970. That my friend would mean a fuck ton. I think the 7970 was re-branded to a R9 290. Try to look for a HD 7950 like that, i think i have a thread on my wall where i was actually speculating about my card being a 7970 that was flashed to a 7950.

 

Also, a great and cheap card is HD 7850 or 7870. they are beasts for their price, they usually go for around 40 euros. they should go for around 50 quid in the UK. No quirks to it like the 7950. it's just a good low end card.

 

Nvidia side, i'm kinda blind on that side, i never saw any good deals on Nvidia card in my home country. but if i had to guess, the GTX 770 is about HD 7950 material, i think. if lucky you might find a GT 1050 used for 100 quid.

7970 GHz edition is the 280x.
