Need advice on a decent enough replacement. Was using a MSI 660ti Twin Frozr III GPU until it decided to die on me last week. Looking for a new replacement. Issue being I need to keep within a budget as I want to save buying something far better until I build a new pc. Top budget is £150 (less would be better), and would like to stick with a Nvidia GPU. Suggestions please?
well £150 gets you a 950 from the green corner [which would be a touch slower than the 660ti], or a R9 380 from the red corner [which is a smidge quicker than a 660ti]... It's that or see what you can pick up second hand... EDIT: it seems prices have changed since I last checked... the 950 has come down to 130-140 and if you can stretch another £10, you can pick up a 960 for £150-160
Having a look on Scan I've found a 960 for £153 with 950 ave at about £125. Worth going for the 960 or shall I just stick with 950 until I rebuild from scratch?
Buy the 960, then get a good portion of your money back by selling it here, if you get your post count up so you can access the Marketplace.
**** that, 150 would get you an old 290X from the bit farming days. ez-pz. Buying a pc on a budget, 2nd hand tech is 100% the way to go Scratch that, do this :
What Buzzons has offered you is fantastic deal. paid £47.50 a few weeks back for a stock GTX 660 non TI version. The only reason I had need for a non TI is I wanted an identical card to run SLI and get a cheap performance boost.
