Which second hand card for around £60?

[2StepSteve]

Hey all

I'm building a PC which will require quite a decent card for gaming and photo editing. However money is a little tight at the moment and I can't afford to lay down much for the GPU card, so I'd like to look towards the second hand market.

Which cards should I be looking at in this price range?

Ideally I'd like to at least match the GTX460, preferably better it.

Thanks

youd be looking at 460 maybe 470

You are 12 hours too late...I saw a GTX560 on B-grade for days at £59.99 and it was still there this morning...it's gone now

I found a BFG GTX 280 locally a little while ago for £30. I put it in my sons rig.

Make sure his PSU is up to the job...the GTX 280 is a hungry card...

I'd say you are looking for something like a 460 or perhaps a 470 if lucky (though they do draw more power and produce more heat).

Not used the 460 or 470, I moved from GTX260 to 7850.

My GTX260 was still doing pretty well in games, just needed a good OC'd cpu and decent ram to boot, which I did not have.

I gamed with my i5 3570 and 8GB DDR3 1600( could be wrong, just starting to learn all this jazz again ) with the GTX260 for a week before my 7850 arrived, it worked pretty well but ofc the 7850 ran better as expected.

6850 possibly

Argh.. That's a shame I missed that .

I'll have to keep my eyes open.

So basically a GTX460, GTX470 or 6850. Cheers guys

6850 possibly

or 7770, if you want it to be low powered.
