Hi guys so im planing to upgrade from my gt 730 (4gb ddr3) to a newer card. I live in portugal so the prices are very high and i cant even buy from newegg neither amazon.
I can buy these cards used:
XFX hd 7970 -> 90€
EVGA Gtx 770 (warranty until 2021) -> 100€
MSi gaming X Gtx 1050 (Warranty until 2019) -> 100€ or a G1 for the same
GTX 770 Lightning but no warranty for 110€
R9 380 4GB for 110€
R9 290 for 125€
I can also get new ones but only the 1050/750ti for 100 and the rx 460 for around 90€
My full specs are
I3 2100 (upgrading to a i5 3350p)
8gb ddr3 ram
Gt 730 4gb
Old psu 230W real (new one is semi modular antec 550W)´
160gb hdd

Yeah, it should work very well on those resolutions - I run 2560x1080 with my FX 6300 and RX 460...

In my personal opinion, I would go for the 1050 or the HD 7970, those are both great cards for a great price!

Also, you could get the R9 380, it will give you overkill performance, but might bottleneck your CPU, don't know.

i was like "yeah, the 1050 is newer, low tpd and good looking visuals" but i saw the benchmarks and the 770 destroys the 1050 for like the triple power. Is it worth it?
Also r9 380 or 280x?

I think the 770 would work, it'll run great in your system and has a long warranty, so it's pretty worth it. The 280X and 380 are both great options also, but if the 770 performs that well, go for it!

Yeah, it should work very well on those resolutions - I run 2560x1080 with my FX 6300 and RX 460 2GB and it runs very well. You should be fine!
