cheap? check. Second hand? no its new, but an older model, top of line older model, but older model nonetheless. still performs great on all but the newest AAA Games.

it'll need a good power supply though.

Keep an eye on EVGA's B-Stock page, they have pretty good deals on refurb cards sometimes

"cheap? check. Second hand? no its new, but an older model, top of line older model, but older model nonetheless. still performs great on all but the newest AAA Games." Thanks also but does this outperform a r7 260x which I own in another computer for a similar price?

About $50 import & delivery on newegg to UK so that 6970 (although a good card) wouldn't be great value.

Look around & you should get a 7850/7870 for that kind of money second hand - maybe even a 7950.

ebay is going to be the best website, as they have their own guarantees on items not working as advertised.

7950's can be had for a song


just make sure they are a good brand and were not abused by bitcoin miners

^ hard to yell if stuff has been used for mining or not.

A 760 or 770 maybe a safer option as they were pretty subpar for mining use & so not as likely to have been abused.

I think if I can find a cheap 770 I'll go for it otherwise a r7 260x thanks all
