[SOLVED] Buying used GTX 770?

[yullbarez]

I want to buy a GPU and it'll probably the GTX 770. Card is Asus GTX 770 DirectCU II O.C 2GB model. It has full box concent and clean. Seller says he never overclocked it and never used it for mining. I heard it performs better than GTX 1050 Ti. I wanna play AAA games like BF5, BF1, RDR2 with that card. I think the VRAM would be a problem on some games.

In all honesty you're looking at a card that is about 4 generations older than what we're currently working with. You're already seeing driver support phase out for older GPU's. What GPU are you currently working with?

Might as well list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

I'm upgrading it from HD 3650. I've written my specs.

GTX770 and GTX1050ti are comparable in performance.
Either would be a big jump over your current graphics.
I would opt for the newer gen card.
It will use less power and heat.
Buying used, you will mostly get the price/performance you pay for.
Look at tom's gpu hierarchy chart for performance rankings of many graphics cards

Do not worry much about vram. What you get will be appropriate to the card.
It is a performance spec, not a functional spec.
amd and nvidia use vram differently.

What's your budget? I've seen those on Ebay for under £30, so it may be worth getting even if you chose to upgrade in a year anyway?
