[QN] About 2nd hand GPU

[Calvin.Lee]

Asus top edition 560 to at $150 with no warranty but 1 week personal guarantee good deal?

Not bad a deal but those with warranty are asking for at least $200-$250, so if it me I will try to go for the ones with existing warranty first...

Hey bro, we maybe going for the same type of graphics cards in the 2nd hand market if you are deciding going for it...

I have a $200 budget and there are options for GTX 560Ti with warranty, GTX 650Ti with warranty, GTX 580 1.5GB without warranty and the AMD5970 with $50 bucks more...These are still good cards that can play a lot of games in med-high settings in 1280X1024 at least...

To be honest, with these options, I still do not know what I should be getting. I don't OC, do not really game but like to run nice benchmarks, video streaming to TV and monitor at the same time and I only use it for my 5-6 OS virtualization running under VMware simultaneously.

This like very waste money thing. Haha.. I prefer playing at native res with low settings. Haha. Maybe~ i will get from amazon a 7770. Lol. Seems like people dont mind buying a card that is only able to claim warranty overseas. Compared to buying same priced second hand with local warranty...

Nah...I run benchmark using mid-high end card only just to test my setup for any issues, not run them like no tomorrow..

Take note Sapphire warranty is 2 years by Convergent.

Can consider the GTX580.

It being an older card , power consumption will be much higher? And i only wanna spend MAX $150. Lost enough selling the 760. lol

Sidenote:You guys know anything about temps? Without case fans my G2120 was at 72~ doing nothing much. With case fans and windows update running it went up to 100degree.. zzz Then i close all other things just let windows update drop to around 90~

 

[ragnarok95]

Hmm...you bought the GTX760 and sell it away??? Why??

 

[LesterQ]

Realised that it is too much for me. walao never read the op.

Most of the time i surf the net watch youtube. Occasionally torrent some 1080p show to watch. Then play csgo. And i just want to be able to play at 1080p, low also can. So sell lo. lol.

You will never know when you might just play high end games, and realise that your GPU cant support much... Best is to futureproof it a little.

Thats why i buying 2nd hand. So IF and IF i wanna play i will sell and upgrade lo. But i will most likely scale down resolution first and try(and then finish the game).

Also the 8000 series maybe out in october right? haha

 

[ragnarok95]

AMD 8000 series is for laptop series. They will jump straight to 9000 series.
