Hi everybody. I'm new in this site. This site is great! I stuck at 4 year used Gigabyte GTX 680 2gb vs brand new Evga GTX 950 SSC 2gb. GTX 680 is used by my friend since it released. I want to buy one of them. GTX 680 is faster than GTX 950 but 950 is new. that is why i want to buy GTX 950. Because i don't know how much will be GTX 680 work from now. Please help me about choice. Thanks!

The 680 is still pretty fast for today, I'd say it's about equal to 960. The trend is NVIDIA likes to keep it that way. 680, one step down to 770 and 960 (regarding performance), it will be significantly faster than the 950. Newer architecture doesn't give you that much benefit, usually, the only meaningful benefit is probably power consumption and heat. Sometimes, new features too but I can't recall exactly what.

The 680 is already 4 years old, that's completely something to consider because there are going to be a significant chance that the video card is going to stop working sometimes in the near future. If I were you, I would decide by price. If that 680 costs less than say, $130, I'll take it. Higher than that, I'd choose the 950. That's what I'm going to do if I were you.

680 costs 150$ and it's used for 4 year. New evga ssc gtx 950 brand is 150$ and msi brand is 140$. I think i would go with 950, because it's brand new and will last longer.
