Would u buy This GPU?

Tonduluboy · Oct 1, 2014

This card is on sale in my area... around $170, wanted to buy for my nephew... Obviously for gaming only.
So, my question is, if u have extra money would you buy this card for $170? or there is other better card with the same price?

MSI GTX580 TWIN FROZR II/OC

I cant find a single review for this card with a latest game, 2013- 2014 games... it will be really helpful if somebody can post a review... like will this card handle 1080 res?

I'd see if there are any AMD Radeon 280/280X cards available in your area, they seem to be going for $170-210 used here in the USA.

The R9 280 R9 285 R9 280X will all beat that GPU while using less power

Don't be afraid to check the buy/sell/trade forums. You might find the same or better of a deal, on a better gpu.
While the 580 is starting to feel dated.
It is still a decent card, capable of 1080p but not capable of maxing top end, graphically demanding games.

I am not from US, so buying from there is more expensive (shipping cost)
The R9 280 here is around $90-$100 more expensive than this one...
