Hi everyone,
As you can imagine with the new generation of NVIDIA and AMD cards, a lot of people are selling their 600 series and 7000 series NVIDIA and AMD cards. I plan on building a PC at the end of the month, and I came across an ad for a GTX 690 for $600 CAD (obviously no tax, and price is negotiable as well). It has been used for a year and the owner is willing to test it as well so i'm not worried about the condition. Is it worth going after this card or should i get a 700 series NVIDIA card, wait for the R9 cards with aftermarket coolers, or even wait a few months to pick up the Maxwell architecture NVIDIA cards? (I have a 6870 in my PC right now). Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
