I am building a budget pc for gaming and i wanna ask if i should buy a old GeForce gtx 760 for $100 that cost me $100 or buy a raedon for new for $200??
 
Solution
I meant Radeon 480/580. Both are around 200 dollars. Except for the crypto-mining craze going on now. So maybe a 1060 with 6 gigs instead. The 1060 with 3 gigs really should have gotten a whole new name, it's not the same at all. It's less powerful in every way.

I have a GTX 760 and Radeon 290X in my machine. The Radeon is twice as good. 290X is on par with 480/580. Same score in Superposition, 2500 points on 1080p Ultra.
GTX 760 is usable for games that were released approx. 3 years ago.
Like Assetto Corsa, Elder Scrolls Online.
I wouldn't buy a GTX 760 today. I replaced GTX 760 with the 290x 2+ years ago, that should tell you something.

Ok thanks for great advice i will definitely take that into consideration

 


Literally any 2nd handed GTX 960 only goes for $80. The GTX 760 can not even handle current games while the 960 could; you want to pay $100 for that?

Wait for RX Vega to come out then snag a RX 470 which is even better.
