Hi again.

1st of all i want to say that i cancelled the previous shop of an 7770 cuz i was said it was kinda weak. :(

Now , i found money to buy a good psu (corsair or thermaltake) and so a video card. I have come to these 3 options

1) Nvidia GTX 295 (88 Eu)

2) AMD HD 6850 1GB (80 Eu)

3) Nvidia GTX 560 Ti twin frozr OC edition (100eu)

The usage of vga will only be for gaming, and i want to own one of those for 1-2 years and be able(if possible) to play the next games for these 2 yrs on 1280X1024 on Lowest-Low-Medium Settings if Possible

Thanks Again Forum, you are the best xD ^_^

You could ask for a screenshot of stress test results I suppose. Wattage and amperage sound sufficient for a GTX560 Ti, though they're cutting it a little close so I wouldn't recommend overclocking if you do buy it. For a GTX650 Ti your PSU should be absolutely fine.

ITS 100 eu, and from where i come from i cant buy 7790 , it costs 150eu.
And, these cards are Used Condition from trusted buyers, so plz, which one would you choose ? :)

If you feel they are trusted I suggest 560 but the 2nd hand thing is sumthing I generally wudnt take a risk. Actually the 7770 which u cancelled isnt weak. Its more of a all rounder fav gpu among budget gamers. But I strongly suggest buy brand new n avail d warranty for yourself rather than buying used gpu.

so you think i go for 7770 ( or 650 ti) brand new ???
I won't be able to buy a card for the next year (or a year and a half) and i want to be able to play the latest games on lowest

The 7770 is pretty much capable of handling even in medium resolutions.only in certain graphic intensive games u might have to dial down dcsettings. Check around in tomshardware. Im so suprise the 7770 could easily average 40fps in most games wit few high settings.
 
I'd also advise buying new, but if you do buy used, the GTX560 Ti is definitely the way to go. The GTX295 has the most raw muscle but will fall behind in games that aren't well-optimised for SLI (it's two GPUs on one board) and will also struggle in games that want 1GB memory (it has 896MB per GPU). And if you decide to buy new, the GTX650 Ti is an excellent option - faster than the 7770 though not as fast as the GTX560 Ti.

Ehm for the GTX 650 Ti i will spent 130 Euro, meanwhile , on 560 Ti i will spend 100. an on both i think i will need PSU ( the 650 ti says 400 watt, mine is 420 but only with 16 Amps on 12 v rail :(((( )
Do you know how to ensure the Healthiness of a Used Video Card?
I mean, should i tell him run any program? or i should totally avoid it?
