when I did my top five view CPUs for the money a lot of people requested that I do a top five graphics cards for the money however since there is just so many good news deals on graphics cards out there I decided to do a top six and even then that is not even going to do enough justice welcome back to tech yeah City this is brian coming to you guys today with the top six graphics cards for the first half of 2016 now a lot of these cards i'll give you guys some price points of what you can pick them up for what you can expect to pick them up for but a lot of the times you'll have to get them on free auction because a lot of people will only be selling one card at a time since they're used however with that being said let's get on with number six six coming in at sixth place is the 9800 GT now recently used one of these in my 70 dollar csgo potato and i thought it was going to be a pretty bad graphics card however it really surprised me especially for a $10 gravis card this card will do an absolutely fine job of playing csgo League of Legends and even dota 2 if you drop the settings down a little bit so a great card for either 720p or entry real entry 1080p gaming now you can expect to pay around about 10 to 15 dollars for one of these cards used may be stretching it up to $20 but I wouldn't pay any more than $20 for a 9800 GT by coming in at number 5 is the HD 6970 and its little brother the HD 69 50 now these are great cards for the money and they will still do a good job of playing games at entry and medium settings at 1080p depending on the game now what I have here is a 2 gigabyte variant that I picked up for around about $70 so if you're lucky you'll pick these cards up anywhere from 60 to 80 dollars now there are 1 gigabyte and 2 gigabyte variants you'll most likely want to go for the 2 gigabyte variant if you can if you get the one gigabyte variant for a bargain don't be afraid to play at 720p for a great price coming in at number 4 is the HD 5870 and it's little brother the HD 58 50 now what I love about these cards is generally the price point you can get them from around about thirty to fifty dollars and they will do a seriously good job of playing games entry-level 1080p or even 720p however most the time they come in one gigabyte flavors so some games will require more vram to be able to play properly I was able to just get a fifty eight fifty to play properly at 1080p and GTA 5 which speaks great lengths for a $30 card three coming in at number three is the gtx 660 now you can expect to pay anywhere from around seventy to ninety dollars for one of these I managed to pick up two of these for around about $80 each and honestly at $80 this is offering very good performance for the dollar especially since it's got a 2 gigabyte frame buffer on this'll be able to play games perfectly fine at 1080p and it also give you the added benefit of using shadow play if you wish to and also generally using a little bit less power than the previous graphics cards I've mentioned since it is a 28 nanometer variant coming in at number two is the HD 7870 and it's little brother the HD 7850 now these are fantastic cards for the money they generally come with a 2 gigabyte frame buffer which will do a perfectly fine job of playing games at 1080p they also overclock really well and generally you can pick them up for around about eighty to a hundred dollars so great value for money and number two one coming in at number one is the HD 7970 you can also get the lower variant the HD 7950 but these are fantastic cards even to this day you'll be expecting to pretty much max games out at 1080p a lot of the time if not get high settings this is a very capable card even to this date and the best part about it is it comes in at around about 130 to 150 dollars that's what you could expect to pay for this the 79 50s you can get them even a little bit cheaper I'd be looking for one for around about 110 to 120 dollars so at this price you can generally overclock them and there will give you very good performance for the dollar so anyway guys that's about it for me today if you enjoyed this video then please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about this video then be sure to drop a cone in the comment section below before I get out here I will stress one thing that is that this is used parts we're dealing with so there's always the risk of getting a broken part with no warranty however you can avoid that by generally checking out the seller and confirming that the graphics card works before you purchase it or if it does have a problem at least confirm that you could fix that problem before you buy it anyway that's it from me I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now bye
