Author Topic: need a good <$150 gpu stat  (Read 2104 times)

my current gpu (1gb nvidia geforce gt 620) is dying faster than I thought it would and if you know me I already have a pc build thread up but I have to get a replacement card for this pos computer before something bad happens

I've already talked to some people and they referred me to this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137124&cm_re=rx_560-_-14-137-124-_-Product

is there anything better in the same price range?

personally if I only had $100 for a gpu i'd look in the used markets
should be able to find a 770 or even 970 on ebay or something

I'd prefer that I stick to new models

which in that case the rx 560 is winning out anyways, unless someone can find something better

Go to /r/hardwareswap and make a post that you're buying a GTX 970 / GTX 770 / GTX 780, those can be bought for 100 or less on that subreddit

much better than a RX 460 / 560, and loving HUGELY BETTER than a 750

what do you mean "can be bought" on a subreddit

I was under the impression that reddit was not an online store

well you can buy it from users on the subreddit

This pretty much, like craigslist except better, and you can request specific items.

be sure to read the post guidelines tho, and use a paypal account so you can pay for the GPU

I don't have a paypal account

Can't you make one? Paypal just ties to your card / bank acc iirc

"you can pay using your money through this service which takes a few seconds to set up and links directly to your bank account"

"i dont have an account"

i don't wanna derail but isn't paypal punishing to people under 18

I'm not 18, but even then I have trust issues regarding the subreddit

I'd prefer that I stick to new models
...why though?
You're already planning on building an entirely new computer, and just need something to last until you get all that, right?
So why spend that amount of money on something you don't plan on using for much longer?
Just buy something cheap (ie used) or skip that all together and just buy the GPU you plan on using in the new build.
