gtx 580 for 100 bucks?

jghaverty · Jan 8, 2014

Im using an hd radeon 7770... would the gtx 580 be a worthwhile upgrade for me?

As long as your PSU can handle it, it's pretty powerful for $100 :lol:

And yes, it's a world of difference

I have a 700w psu, but i am using an overclocked 8320, that should still be plenty right?

Depends what brand and model it is, but a decent unit would be plenty for a single GPU, even if it's a 580

That's still more than plently. You are lucky to get gtx 580 for $100. Cheers!
How old is it anyway?

No idea haha, its used on craigslist, so its kind of a gamble.
