Because of lack of gtx 1060's i'm looking for a cheap alternative to play 1080p games. I can get my hands on a used gigabyte r9 270x 4gb at a price of 142 dollars (125 euro). Is this a good deal?
>>61352305
no, get 280x for $100
Keep it in mind, but definitely have a look around a bit more for better deals.
>t. muh 3.5 meme owner for $88 from bidding
>>61352305
not at all, 270x is 760 tier, 1060 is at least twice as fast.
eth prices seemed to crash. Wait a week or so they might be back in stock/ lower prices.

I have a 270x for quite a few years now and by that point, it's barely worth anything. Look for a cheap 470 or if money is tight 460/1050ti.

solid advice thanks

What?
First, why a 1060 in the first place?
Second, why do you suddenly go from a 1060's price that's around 400 bucks to 142 dollars for an alternative, looks like you didn't want a 1060 in the first place.
Third, why go for a 1060 if RX 580 exist and is faster, more efficient and cheaper?
The GPU hierarchy literary is:
Poorfag: RX 580
Normalfag: 1070/1080

Because I heard its a solid card for 1080p gaming on ultra
>Second, why do you suddenly go from a 1060's price that's around 400 bucks to 142 dollars for an alternative, looks like you didn't want a 1060 in the first place.
Because the 1060 is out of stock and I'm looking for a cheap alternative a used card till the 1060 is available again at normal prices.
>Third, why go for a 1060 if RX 580 exist and is faster, more efficient and cheaper?
I don't know, that's why I made the thread to get advice from other people.

I got mine for 266€ in May, no clue about prices right now though

Mining bitcoins is popular again so prices are all over the place.
>>61354466
You are right.
But most local stores I just looked up sell it for 300€.
My 1060 6gb does 1440p pretty well in most games I've tried (most demanding being Witcher 3).
It should be good for 1080p.
i actually bought a 1060 last week because you cant find a RX570/580 anywhere
No complains until now, and its way more silent than my last card
I love how efficient the RX 580 are, maxes out at 71-75C after a hour of GTA V with the fan just going at 600RPM.
