Hi
What is the best second hand gpu i should go for?
It's only for playing FIFA 15 mainly and mainly few others. I am not expecting 4252346 frames. Just want something decent.
Currently i am running i3 4330 @ stock with 8gb ram.
Budget is £70 max.

You should be able to pick up a HD7950 3GB (basically an R9 280) for around that money 2nd hand in the MM on here (you will need to get your post count up to get access - but its worth it!)

Should be a very capable card and run FIFA happily I would have thought

Sure, only 826 posts for him to go. He's made 150+ posts since 2012 so... Going by his average posts, he would get there in about 15 or so years! Good luck!

I will be honest, I didn't go and spend time doing background research on his posting habits, so my bad

Outside of MM on here, you might find something like a AMD HD7870 or NV GTX 570 / 580 around your budget OP. Hope that is helpful too :)

If you don't wish to go the second hand route, then the best choice would be a R7 250X which will run Fifa maxed without issue. It's essentially a HD7770. :)
 
Okay. Thanks a lot.
I have seen some people play on the onboard hd4600 on low settings.
Should i rely on this? or should i go for an even cheaper option?

MM is OCUK Members Market. There will be an faq somewhere but basically you need 1000 posts to qualify.

You might be able to get a HD 7950 on ebay but I'd think you'd be lucky to get one under £80.

I wouldnt recommend running stuff on the HD internal stuff as its just despite what CPU manufacturers say, they aren't built for proper gaming a lot of the time. I admit they have a long way but they are no discrete graphics card.

AMD Matt has made a very viable option - should be a very capable little card for £65 :)

If you are going to be a more active member on the forums then the MM is definitely worth working towards as there are a lot of really good peeps on there and some real bargains to be had
 
Hi HPTL7,

Here is a link to a **B Grade** Sapphire HD 7770 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-104-SP&groupid=595&catid=683

It costs £89.99. It has 90 days warranty.

The card the AMD REP linked to is the new replacement for that card. It costs £65.99. It has 2 years warranty. It is also under your £70 limit.

I am only posting this cause i am burning with curiosity as to what card you actually buy :p
