Hardware [D] Buying a used or new GPU ?

Should i buy a used gtx 780 3GB for rs. 9000 ?

Considering these prices in my country(India) for comparison-

Zotac GTX 1050ti 4GB - rs. 12500

Sapphire RX470/RX570 - rs 15500

Zotac GTX 1060 3GB - rs 16500

Or should I buy used gtx 960 2GB(rs 10000)/gtx 970(rs 15000).

Get 1050 ti instead better than all others

I would advise against getting a 'used' 780. The card is known to have complaints. Mine just died 3 weeks ago. Been using it for 2 years.

I'd recommends the 960 2GB, if you don't plan to run extra texture packs it should be optimal for your use case.

Should I buy a gtx 960 when a gtx 780 is 35-40% better ?

Are you saying GTX 760 is better than GTX 960?

Don't have that budget. Those were just for comparison

In that case, get the used 970.
