So I am looking for a cheap used gpu so I can replace my old GT 440 (Yes, a GT card not a GTX card). The reason I want to buy used is because I'm currently saving money to buy a complete new system, and in the mean time I would like to play some newer games at a resolution that is higher than 800x600.
So should I buy this used GTX 660ti for 60€, or should I just wait and keep playing games at 600p 15fps until I have enough money to buy a decent gpu?

Sorry for my bad English
 
Solution
Since you have a need now, go ahead and buy now.

GTX660ti will not quite match your old GTX680, but you will certainly do better than the GT440.

In time, you can sell the GTX660ti and probably get much of your 60€ back.

I used to have a GTX 680, but it stopped working 1 month ago, so I used the gpu that came with an old computer I bought in 2011. But this GT 440 is just horrible, I'd rather play games on a PS3 instead (and I'm pro PC masterrace). If you're used
to playing games at 1080p and then you're suddenly switching to 600p, it's a nightmare. Right now I'm just sick of this card, you can't even overclock it to get better performance. So I looked for a used card and I found this GTX 660ti for 60€.
 


For 60 euro you can usually get a gtx 950 (which is better) or a hd 7950/7970 is you look a bit for them.

Where I live it's hard to find a GPU that's not over 6 years old for under 50€, Most people ask 40€ for a GT 440. On eBay I can find much better deals, but I don't want to pay 50€ on shipping.
