Hey all,

I was about to buy a superclocked gtx 660, however the craigslist post was already sold. So I’ve gathered some new cards, but I need your guys thoughts please on which is the Best Buy. I can afford all of them, so performance is key. Really the only game I play would be H1Z1, FORTNITE, and CSGO. Thanks! —Ryan

It's going to be between the 6870 and the 6950. Neither of which is going to be a great gaming GPU. Performance is going to be very close between them, so price is probably the biggest difference. The 6950 guy did mention hash rates in his add so his has been used for mining. Might want to get the 6870 instead.


For 70$ you can easily find an r9 270(x)/370, gtx 680, gtx 760 and whatnot. You might be looking at the wrong cards here. The best out of the bunch you listed is the 6950 but all I have listed far outperform it and are almost always available for the same price on local used sites or ebay.
