Need a graphics card around 60 - 80 euro

Petyr Baelish

Hey, I'm looking for a card in the 60 - 80 euro range.

I've seen some cards on eBay for that price new but they are generic Chinese products with names imitating the big brands so I'm sceptical about their quality and performance even though the specs appear good.

Has anyone had any experience with these kind of cards? I'm thinking that I might be better off buying a good used card but I really don't know what models I should keep an eye out for.

If anyone can offer advice I'd appreciate it.

CEX have one for 85e but it might be a reference model (i.e. worse) https://ie.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=sgraatir9270x2ga&categoryName=graphics-cards-pci-e&superCatName=computing&title=ati-radeon-r9-270x-2gb-dx11.1

*As TerrorFirmer pointed out, GTX 760 is faster than 270X;
Both cards require 2x6-pin for power.

Didn't think the R9 2XX's were going for that price. Wonder how much an MSI R9 280 3GB Gaming X is worth?

Is this for gaming? I would say the best card around that price is a 2nd hand GTX760 (or the 270X), CEX have both though for €85 with two year warranty.

If you don't have a suitable PSU, a 2nd hand GTX750Ti or new GT1030 (GDDR5 version) are in that price range. Or else CEX also have an R7 370 for €90, that only needs a single 6 pin.
