[GFX] Replacement for GTX 580

[sp0inK]

Looking to replace my 4 year old card, MSI Twin Frozr ii GTX 580.

Don't really wanna spend much actually. Hopefully a budget of around $200 will be able to provide me a card with equal performance of a 580. No preference for nvidia/ati. Any recommendations?

580 have a similar performance of 750.

BUT however the budget for 200 have a better alternative. Although not the latest but still performs somewhere higher than 750ti.

As you can see your 580 is tier 6.
$200 can buy 750ti only which is like tier 9.

Not bad, your card is still alive. My 2xGTX580 died last year.

It is actually more like a HD 7870 / R9-270 / R9-270X.

 

[Jian19]

2nd hand 7870 around $150

Can consider 2nd hand 7950 roughly $200+

 

[Swiftbladez]

Save a bit more and get a 2nd hand 780 / r9 290. No need to change now.

GTX580 equivalent is R7870, 270X and GTX660

If die die must budget at 200 then either 750ti for maximum energy efficiency or gtx 660 for less energy efficiency but probably can overclock more.

but if you can wait to save more then go straight for the gtx 970 at 400plus for r9 280x for 300plus.
