£150 budget for Used GPU what could I get ?
what should i Aim for ?

I've not played decent PC games in about 4 years, so with a new build I would like to start again.

I also watch movies, I sometimes do a little graphics and video editing, converting, rest of the everyday stuff.


Any suggestions are welcome

For £150 you could get a GTX 970 - It'll still max out pretty much anything you throw at it at 1080p if you've got a reasonable processor.

Little more will get your a used 1060 which will be slightly better.

Thanks for the reply.
I have a 1700x (Taking ages to build)

So which would be better 970 or the 1060 also which 1060 3gb or 6gb ?

also how do the AMD GPUs compare ?

6GB 1060 would be the best bet if you can get one.

Will probably be around £180ish used.

I'm not too clued up on AMD but Nvidia are generally better bang for the buck and use less power.

Thanks, Any brand I should aim for I mean some have better warranty, support or card spec ?

970 for about 130

Thanks

Overclockers have a b grade 1060 3gb available for £150

Thanks but I'm getting the sorry not available message.

I'm not sure on the other brands but EVGA warranty is transferable so if you got one of those you'd still be covered. EVGA tend to be more expensive though.

For £180 odd there are a few 1060's 6GB .

Thanks

Transferable if you purchased before May 2018, you need the original receipt if purchased after this date. Snide move by them imho.

Good thing you told me, I may not have found out till after buying one.

Thanks guys, So I should aim for a 1060 but a 970 is also a good option ?

I'm assuming everyone would say get one that's not been used for mining or at least not long ?

1060 6GB can be had second hand for a little over your budget. They are very close to 980 performance, more VRAM and less power draw. If you can find one for a good price, this would be my choice, unless you'd rather go AMD, in which case the 580 is a good shout.

I've used both AMD and Nvidia, I dont mind either but i prefer the Nvidia due to my past experience.

I think i will aim for the 1060 its a newer card so I maybe able to get one with warranty.
