Budget GPU.

[trex742]

Hello, so I was wondering what GPU should I pair with my Ryzen 1700. I've seen a lot of offers on used GTX 970s and some 1060s. I've also seen some R9 390 8GB for the exact same price as 970 or sometimes cheaper and I was wondering if 390 is worth it(mainly because of 8gb of GDDR instead of 6gb or 4gb). So, my question is, is it worth it to go with used card? Or should I wait for 10xx series prices to drop down and buy a new one?
Thanks in advance

well the r9 390 can get almost 60fps max settings 1080p on PUBG, so if you wanna run that game.. then it should be good

If you can shop around smartly, buying a used card is not a bad idea at all. There's a chance that the card was used for mining though so just be careful.

Go for the 1060 used, it will be good value plus bigger vram

390 is a touch more power hungry due to age, so a used 1060/RX 580 is the way to go. It's best to just compare whatever's cheapest of those two

rx 480 8gb used can be found cheap.
