Used gtx 580 for 230 or new hd 7970 for 290?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hello good people!
I have an option of buying a used EVGA 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 (SC Superlocked) 1536MB GDDR5 for $230 or a new MSI Radeon HD 7950 OC 3GB for $290.
Both cards come with warranty.
I know the money difference is not huge, but I am a student, so proportions are shifted![:p]( ":p")
Thoughts?

Go with the 7950 as it is the new technology for graphic card, As a student money is always a concern but your build also need to last a few years except if you got more budget to come that's another story.60$ different is acceptable because the 7950 will last longer than 580 for future gaming and application to come. Closed your eyes and make the sacrifice for 60 bucks...trust me u won't regret it.....hope's this help ^_^

Once overclocked to its max, the 7950 will practically be twice as strong as the 580. $60 is easily worth it!
