Best $80 and below GPU?

[Metalmario66]

I've been thinking about building a more basic PC after my main one is built. But I don't know what the best GPU is to get that's $80 or below. Now I'm willing at the very max to spend $90 but would rather spend $85 or under for a GPU. The build as I said above is gonna be a more basic build but a kinda decent gaming build but nothing fancy. I'm trying to see if I can build a budget PC for around $500 and have already found some parts so far. I'm not planning on playing crazy good graphics so something decent for cs go or something may be fine. I also don't mind playing at lower settings so just a good gaming card for a budget. Thanks

refurb 750 ti 89.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127970 6 mo warranty
new 740 same price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125774 3yr warranty

the 750 will be the better gamer, the 740 has much better warranty.
they both push the budget but the performance the extra few bucks deliver is IMHO worth it.

To be honest for a 750 card and a refurbished one from newegg.

I would at least take a look on ebay for something like a second hand 7970 card in good working condition.

You can pick a 7970 card up for around the price you are looking at Metalmario66.

Most sell for around the $85 to $95 mark second hand.

And to be honest providing you have at least a power supply in your system that can provide 550W up to 600w.
That is at least ATX 2.1 compliant. with a eight pin 12v Pci-e power connector and a Six pin also on the Psu.

If your willing to do this.
You will get a far better capable card of playing 2015 to 2016 game titles with medium to high game graphics settings at a maximum of 1080p screen resolution.

The specs are bellow.

ATI radeon 7970 graphics card

Much higher memory bandwidth 264 GB/s vs 86.4 GB/s More than 3x higher memory bandwidth

Better floating-point performance 3,789 GFLOPS vs 1,306 GFLOPS Around 3x better floating-point performance

Much higher hitman: absolution framerate 73 vs 21 Around 3.5x higher hitman: absolution framerate

Significantly higher texture rate 118.4 GTexel/s vs 40.8 GTexel/s Around 3x higher texture rate

More memory 3,072 MB vs 2,048 MB 50% more memory than a 750 Ti card

Significantly more shading units 2,048 vs 640 1408 more shading units than a 750 Ti card

Significantly more texture mapping units 128 vs 40 88 more texture mapping units than a 750 Ti card

Significantly better fire strike factor score 75.74 vs 40.01 Around 90% better fire strike factor score

Higher pixel rate 29.6 GPixel/s vs 16.3 GPixel/s More than 80% higher pixel rate than a 750 Ti card

More render output processors 32 vs 16 Twice as many render output processors than a 750 Ti card

Slightly wider memory bus 384 bit vs 128 bit 3x wider memory bus than a 750 Ti card

The 7970 card may be a few years old and lack direct x 12 support, and have a higher power consumption than a 750 Ti card but bang for buck it can still keep up with direct x 11 game titles as said at 1080p resolutions with decent frame rates set to medium or high in game graphics settings.

Last time on ebay i managed to get one in fully working condition with no faults for around £55 Metalmario66 as the winning bid.

Anyway i just thought I would throw that in as an option or something to consider with a limited budget.

 

[Metalmario66]

Thanks for the answer I may consider this but I'll be using my main build for most of my PC gaming. I'm just looking for a card on a budget, not a extreme card, although that would be nice. Also if a card happens to be like $110 but has a rebate which brings it down to $90 then I'll pay extra since I can get it back with a rebate.

guys remember newegg isn't always cheepet. they dont show the tax ontop. you might think somthing is £100 but its actually 120

 

[Metalmario66]

I included 2 options for the graphics card. The 380X is much more powerful than the 750Ti, but costs $150, taking your total to ~$550. Otherwise, if you stick to the 750Ti, you'll stay under the $500 mark.

Thanks for the reply.

Don't forget to look at Newegg combos when you are ready to buy. Sometimes, there are better combinations of equivalent stuff in the combos (such as CPU + Mobo).

Ok thanks. Yeah I was planning on using a older quad CPU anyway plus I was probs. gonna just OC it so it would be a little better. Wanting to use a mini itx mobo since they're smaller and I may or may not use the 380X, I guess it just depends. But yeah I'll take a look around, also if happen to know of a good itx mobo that can OC to at least average then let me know. Thanks

You have some options with ITX these days, but you would be looking at considerably more money to OC on ITX without overheating.

You may be better of looking at a small mATX case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811163223

U think a hyper 212 evo would be a decent cooler for a mild to average oc on a itx?

If it fits, yes. However, you have to worry about clearance with the case, RAM, GPU (especially if it has a backplate), etc. I had to use a Noctua NH-L12 with my last ITX build since almost nothing else would fit.

Would this cooler be fine for a itx case? http://pcpartpicker.com/product/vfw323/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rrgmm416pkr2 this is a build I may do if everything will work http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JwcHzM the apex Ml-110 comes with a 250W power supply but it's probably not a great one though. Should I just go 300W or maybe a little more if I ever add a gpu later?

 

[Metalmario66]

Most likely, but it would depend on the case. Most manufacturers list the dimensions of each section their website so you can measure first.

I was going for the cube look but when I saw this I was like "I must have this case!" It looks awesome, it's larger, it has red, and it has a window so u can see ur awesome build. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854023&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=phanteks-_-11-854-023-_-Product

 

[Metalmario66]

What wattage power supply should I get? I'm thinking 300W but maybe 200W but I'm not sure. I do have 2 old windows xp computers so I could probs. just use one of them since they haven't died yet.

 

[Metalmario66]

Would this build be good or do I need to get one of the 500W u mentioned? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/HMRF8K

Go with any of these options. I have the EVGA GTX 750Ti SC as my backup card and everything about it is excellent!

I probably will unless I find a better card for only a little more. I heard the 750 ti was the least u could go with for playing most modern games now but that's fine with me since I don't mind playing on low settings.
