A decent GPU for £150?

[A_n_d_y_y_o_u_n_g]

Hello, so i am in the process of buying a new GPU but im having trouble finding a new one.

my current one is:http://uk.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N950XTREME-2GD#kf

and i was looking at:http://uk.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TG1-GAMING-4GD#kf

but apparently its not that much better than my current one, has anyone got any suggestions for a GPU for around the same price? thanks in advance.

The 1050ti is around 25% stronger so it is an upgrade but for £150 outlay probably not a proper worthwhile one unfortunately.

There is nothing else at that pricepoint at all which is a problem.

Without going second hand you're kind of stuck mate.

A second hand gtx 970 would be a great upgrade at the right price.

If you find yourself stuck then cex would offer £60 for a 950 & sell 970's for £190 putting you at £130 outlay.

While I consider £190 too much really for a second hand 970 cwx does offer 2 year warranty on everything they sell.

Just an option for you to consider

The issue with cex is when you order online you are at the whim of what actual model 970 they send you from what store.

While I wouldn't be overly concerned with quality/performance difference cards have different size & power cable requirements.

Some cards are twin 6 pin, some are single 8 pin, some are 6+8 pin & sizes can vary from 260-320mm in length.

What case & PSU are you using exactly ??

Because if the above is of concern then you are better physically visiting a local store if you have one & seeing what they have in stock.

Bear in mind the £60 for a 950 is voucher price which you would immediately offset against the purchase of a replacement
