Top 5 USED GRAPHICS CARDS for GAMING in 2017

2017-05-07
so after I completed the top five CPUs to 2017 you guys wanted to see the top five GPUs well here it is today welcome back guys and ever since the release of the RX 470 and the GTX 1060 graphics card prices have or should have gone down by a lot since these graphics cards really brought a lot of price performance to the market and they were new and they came with warranty however with that aside there is an updated list and how much you guys should expect a piece of these graphics cards and what they will perform like on 1080p or other resolutions now before I get onto this list there are a lot of good graphics cards out there and the thing that makes a deal good is simply the price if you guys could pick up the right graphics card at the right price then it's going to be a really good deal also there were a lot of graphics cards that were close to making it onto the list but didn't quite get there since they'll very popular in the use scene and with that popularity comes an increased price these graphics cards are the 5852 6850 and also the 7950 and gtx 780 though that said let's get on with the list by now coming in at number five is the GTX 770 a great card that comes in two different variants of two gigabytes and four gigabyte flavors I would go with the foggy but if you can pick up one at the right price now the maximum I would pay for one of these cards would be around 80 USD personally I recently picked up one for about 75 USD with a custom cooler on it and four gigabytes of vram on there and it's a great card for playing 1080p titles and around high settings it's also very similar in performance to the GTX 1050 TI o Kamiya number four is the HD 7850 this is a great card for 1080p medium settings nowadays though we'll play some of those older titles like csgo dota 2 and League of Legends with really good frame rates at 1080p also with this card it is pretty low in power consumption so it will do a great job of being match with pretty inexpensive hardware coming at number three is a very unexpected entry this is the GTX 460 now these were very poor Fila back in the day and since they were very popular and since they're not popular now and they're probably one of the most least searched cards they come in very cheap expect to pay up to around $20 for one of these cards but they will play games really well even titles like overwatch at 1080p high settings can be played on this card but you can of course lower the settings and get really good frame rates if you are on a budget coming in a number two and honestly this was a toss-up between this number two and number one this is the GTX 970 now this was an extremely popular card when it was released a few years ago and with that it gives you extremely good performance at 1080p can even play games on high in 1440p expect to pay around up to a hundred and 20 USD for one of these cards since the GTX 1060 has been released for around about $200 they perform pretty similar in performance the GTX 970 is definitely a good card if you can pick it up on a budget what and coming in at number one is the r9 290 or the 290x expect to pay up to 120 USD for these and they are really good cards they perform extremely well and they have four gigabytes of vram on board so they will be able to just like the GTX 970 play games at 1080p Ultra or even play games at 1440p high and they will do a really good job of that though there is one caveat to this card and that is that it does run extremely hot it is a really hot card and it is hard to keep under control I even put an arctic explorer on one of these things and it was starting to overwhelm that cooler albeit I did overclock it however it is a great graphics card that performs really well and you can expect some really good performance out of this thing so there are those guys there is my top 5 used GPU picks for 2017 and I was honestly waiting a little while to do this guide because of the release of the rx 5 series and it also looks like in videos going with a refresh on their cards as well so expect these prices to remain pretty solid and also these recommendations to remain pretty valid for a good at least six months in my opinion so with that said if you want to find out how some of these graphics can't perform there are a lot of different YouTube videos out there where people test these different cards on different games different settings all you have to do is search for the gravis card if you find it at a good price quickly search its performance of the game you wish to play and then you'll see how it performs and whether it's a good deal for you also keep in mind that are more risk to buying used PCs parts as opposed to buying new PC but I'll put a link up here if you guys want to check out some tips and tricks that I've got for buying used PC pot and without that I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
