So a mutual friend is selling me his old ati radeon hd5870 for about 60$. While I game on the more lower end of the spectrum like sc2, lol, dota, etc I want to be able to play more graphically intense games. I was wondering if the purchase would be worth it at that price point. I currently own a GeForce GT630, since I bought my computer a couple years back.
I have seen the graphics card in person and it looks to be in pretty good shape, maybe just a bit of dust cleaning and it would be alright.
Anyone know if that's a good deal or not? Especially since it's a really old model. Would it be better that I just spend a bit extra and go for more recent models like a radeon r7 260x or something of sorts? Is there a chance of the 5870 being outdated in the foreseeable future after my purchase?
Thank you for any answers
