What is the best GPU for $130?
I have a friend that is going to sell me his GTX 580 (Asus) for $130. USD
Is there any card better for the same price?

Thanks.

If you are a very patient shopper, you can find HD 7870 or R9 270 on sale for that price. It will have similar performance, lower power draw, and likely come with some free games.

Power is not a problem. The problem is my monitors (2x) are VGA.
Those cards only have 1x DVI-I, so I could only adapt one of them to VGA.
The other is DVI-D. That can not be adapted to VGA.

Well the GTX 580 certainly isn't a bad deal at $130.

damric :

That is what I thought. Are there any 2Gb GTX cards for around the same price that can be converted to VGA?
With adapters of course. It needs to have VGA or DVI-I. Thanks.
I really can not find anything better or equal to the GTX 580. (For the price range)

Where were you when I was selling my gtx 670 for $150 (has 2dvi), haha if you can find a similar 670 it is a good bit faster than 580 for a few bucks more assuming you can find someone who is selling at that price.

Closest new card that I consider a good deal would the be 7790 (similar to 260x I think) for $125 but the 580 is faster still, 750ti's go for $150 new too but the 580/670 would be better.

Too bad the GTX 670 only has 1x DVI-I.

I think the GTX 580 is my best bet! Thanks guys.

Check the overclock.net marketplace forums. There is a flood of good stuff on there right now.

I will..... My friend lives like a mile down the road, so I may just go over there.
That way I can test the card ETC. I can also return it.

Can't argue with that.
