Should I get a HD 7770 or a HD 5870

[ahmed.daliposki]

Alright so my budget is around 30-50 euros
I found two used GPUs that I like within my budget range
HD 7770 50 euros
HD 5870 35 euros
Performance wise they are roughly the same but imo the HD 7770 will still get updated drivers while the older card won't. Oh also the game I am targeting for is LoL (100fps 1080p) but I may buy some games if I have the requirements to run them

What would you recommend? (The cheapest USED RX 550 in my country is 100 euros)

both are not great.

Have a look for a GTX 660 or 750 ti.

Uhm both of them are 100euros and up (in my country USED which is crazy) and that is way out of my budget range. Thanks for your opinion though, I ll keep those GPUs in consideration if I save up more, but if I had 100 euros in me I'd honestly go for the RX 550 because it is newer and will get new drivers (also I like red team more than green team Yay Freesync).

Again, thanks for your reply.

Oh also my PC has an E2180 in it, it is a dual core 2.0ghz so I know that every GPU will be bottlenecked by it but I ll upgrade my CPU and Motherboard around New Year's eve and will get 2x2GB RAM so I can finally have a decent(ish) PC for modern standards.

always go with the newest card you can buy. the older gpu may not be directx 9 compatable. the newer card should be.

RX 550 is a terrible card also. What about used R9 270 / 7850 / 7870? how much are they in your country?

R9 270 is 45 euros, there are not any used HD 7850 for sale and the only 7870 is bundled with 2GB Hyper X RAM 1600mhz and the bundle costs 100 euros.

Again, thanks for replying

R9 270 for 45 euros is a good deal then! much faster than the other cards your considering.
