Used 780ti or new r9 290?

Hqa · Aug 24, 2015

The 780ti is $30 cheaper, and the owner says it is 70% new and it has never been overclocked can someone please help me and quick cuz I better get this soon if it is like a steal or something.

I don't know what price your getting but is there a warranty transfer with the 780? the r 290 is a very good card I own 2 of them and never have a issue with them but 70 percent new hmmmmmm be wary.

they both take a lot of power so no advantage for nvidia, get the new amd

new r9 390 would be the best... if too expensive just get the 290

I don't know what the op has for power supply nor his system specs most don't put that on here to help us help them but a good 600 watt PSU should run it fine I had one installed with only a 600 WATT psu and running a amd fx system with 6 drives.

A 780 ti is overall a better performer in every way, but it's used vs new. I personally don't care if a product is used as long as it works. New of coarse is safer, with warranties and all.

My spec are i5-4460, 8 gig ram, 850w b2 Eva power supply, case: corsair spec-2.

70% new comment sounds suspect. What is he selling the 780 Ti for? You can probably find a new/sealed one on Ebay for cheaper. Also, you should know that a GTX 970 beats a 780 Ti, and comes with a free game.

I'd feel much more comfortable if you stated your budget and what your gaming goals are. What games do you play? What resolution do you play at?

My budget is 200-250 max but I live in Canada so $330 Canadian dollars, I will be playing at a single 1080p monitor at 60hz, I would like to play battle field 4 at max settings cod, mortal combat X, lol, and probably new games, I would like to keep it for a couple years, since I will go from a budget to broke. Is this good enough https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazon/sapphire-video-card-100363l

He is selling it for $300 Canadian dollars, which is about 225

If you have newegg in Canada I would look into the r 290 it would be a new gpu not used and hey lets face it 99% of the people who own a higher end gpu such as the 780 more then likely overclocked it the 780 is a much older card btw as well. Since the 970 has replaced it and 980....

Hqa :

The r 280 card is just a rehash of the radeon 7950 card rebranded it will offer good fps but maybe not ultra on everything... but your only going to be gaming at 1080....

it is 280X, so will it be enough on 1080p for a couple years or should i get an r9 290 for future proof? and yes there is newegg canada but idk why i can't find an r9 290 at a reasonable price, it is like there is no more >.>
