How much is a 560 ti worth

[dane332]

I actually have 2 questions

Would spending 160 or so dollars on a used 560 ti be considered a good deal when moving up from a 550 ti?


Also the second question i have is a the Galaxy name brand decent enough to trust?(i found a second galaxy 560 ti on the ebay that i may be able to get fro 150ish but the brand name is galaxy... a brand i have never heard from.)

Galaxy is a budget brand and $160 is a good price for a GTX560Ti.

 

[dane332]

Do you know if galaxy has a good track record of making decent cards?

 

[rolli59]

I have seen a few reviews of them in the past with OK results and lately they have been increasing their warranty from the std 1year they had.

 

[dane332]

You know rolli59 this is perhaps the third or so time i have found you here on the forums, and i have to say you give clear and well mannered replys

and i applaud you for that.

and i also thank you for the aid you give countless people

As rolli59 has mentioned, Galaxy is aimed towards budget buyers and $160 is good for a 560 ti. Best reference I have for Galaxy is my friend's GT 440 that has never had a problem (Its a Galaxy card of course.)
I'd buy from Galaxy!

 

[dane332]

i'm trying to get this card as cheap as i can, if it works thats all i need, i am weary of budget brands but can you really say the failure rate of galaxy is higher than evga or gigabyte etc?

i'd rather go zotac or asus or anything well known really but i don't see a 25 extra cost justifying that if it still works as well.

I'll pass on the Galaxy brand, I rather have Zotac than Galaxy..

:lol: ditto

 

[amuffin]

I only buy from these guys:
EVGA
ASUS
MSI

 

[dane332]

for the 3 people who are against galaxy, have you ever had a galaxy card or heard of them breaking?

 

[amuffin]

They look like cheap quality 😛

 

[dane332]

i agree they look cheap but considering if the silicon will work ....then it works lol. it also has a 3 year warranty....which may not mean much...considering cheap companies have their ways of not honoring things... i always liked your icon btw(perhaps the second time i have seen you)

I don't need to wouldn't risk buy that cheap crap "just messing with you"!

 

[dane332]

dude, you will thank me now or I will roast you later...
no Galaxy if you got the funds or other options within that price range.

i was not trying to be offensive, i came off that i way then i sincerely apologize

i know you are here on this forum to give me your honest advice.

i was just trying to see if you guys actually had experience with this name brand before bashing it.

 

[dane332]

Well at anyrate, i have purchased a pny 560 ti for 165. thank you all for your help

 

[dane332]
