Need advice on HIS HD6950 priced @ $25

[thirdy]

Hi,

I found a bargain vid card priced @ 1000pesos (about $25 usd).

HIS ICEQX HD6950 VIDEOCARD 1GB-256BIT PCIE DDR5

Here's my PC (bought last month)

psu: Seasonic (S12II) 520watts PSU 80Plus Bronze
cpu: Intel Core i3 3220 3.3GHz (Dual Core) Ivy Bridge --- New!
ASRock H77M
Memory, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2x4gb ddr3 1600 CL9
hdd/ssd: Intel 330 Series 60gb sata3
atx: NZXT Source 210 Elite

Is this a good buy for me? Not a serious gamer.
Is it ok for my PSU?

PSU is good. Very Good price for 6950. I am wondering why so cheap though.

I think gpu would be faulty.no body in the world will sale hd 6950 at 25$ !

As the seller if you can test the card before you pay for it.

The retailer is an actual pc parts store. Probably a typo/mistake. If so, any good card here:

I'm looking for a very cheap one (max $50 budget) or shall I'll get a used one. Is that ok?

Thanks!

Get a Radeon HD 6670(or 6770 if you can afford) 1 GB GDDR%- I own one and it works like a charm, coupled with atleast 3-4 gigs of ram. Hope this helps

hey kabayan hehe

hmn, i know this store, i bought an item from them (i think its them at least haha) late last year.
must be a typo, just remember that if something is too good to be true... it probably is.

well if you can test and they can give you decent warranty... go for it

wait... i just checked, the 11500 was crossed out, so i think that is 9999 and not 999.

if that is the case, it's not good, i believe my brothers 6870 was 6k only, brand new. different brand though

btw, the link is 6870 not 6950

 

[thirdy]

thanks a lot! I think I'll just wait a little more
