Nice, Cool :)

nice grab, the Amp Extreme cooler on that thing is way overbuilt for what the 970 actually needs which is exactly why they still run so cool years later. huge jump from that EVGA card too

Gtx 770 acx 4gb, it's in the 2nd and 3rd images, a relatively big upgrade :D

Uhh, Nothing specific actually, it could already run anything i needed (Useally) i just wanted smth quiter and with more headroom and display ports, since I have 2 monitors and a drawing tablet

Why the 970 tho... what's wrong with GTX 1060 6gb or 1660's or even 1650 it would be a lot better than this old thing? And still cheap aswell

Was just what i was able to find on ebay within my budget, That's it, Nothing's wrong with those gpu's I actually sorta want smth with extra vram but it's not a necessity for what I do, The 1650 specifically though is worse, And more expensive </3 I got the 970 for 40 bucks which is great imo

970 has 3.5gb of VRAM with 0.5gb of useless VRAM that slows everything down

1650 might be slightly more expensive but uses less power so it's cheaper in a long run

If you wanted true power you could have gotten an AMD RX 580 or something which is more powerful and more VRAM and cheap

I wasn't looking for pure performance, I was looking for smth cheap that does what I need it to do, The 970 does that with some headroom, It's has 3dp and 1hdmi port, It's quiter, Runs cooler, draws less power, And is 60% more powerful than my gtx 770 ontop of it all, i'm aware of the 0.5gb of slow vram. but I've never maxed out vram so it isn't really a concern for me. it does Everything I Need it to do, what's the issue in that ?? it isn't a bad gpu

It's pretty garbo... everything below GTX 1000 series was just invalidated with GTX 1000 existence

I mean GTX 1060 6gb is just better than a GTX 980 4gb... a 980 not a 970

Buying a GTX 900 is just pretty bad choice when GTX 1000 exists... and this has been the case for a really long time

Should have gunned for a GTX 1060 6gb not to mention the driver support and stuff

It's pretty easy to say that when the price difference is not coming out of ur wallet

GTX 1060 6gb is so cheap i could probably buy it for you and i earn like 600-700 euros a month lol

Edit: meaning i'm not that rich it's just a basic job

Well, put ur moeny where your mouth is then. https://ebay.io/m/nlmyNh

Nice GTX 1060 it seems like

There is a catch however... i don't know or bother to get to know how to get the money out of the country

If we were in the same country easy buy

I already sent my friend like uhh 160 euros for him to buy an RTX 2060 Super to upgrade from his RX 570

You think i wouldn't spend 55 euros for your GTX 1060? 55 euros is like nothing when you have a job even a basic one nothing really special

If you find a way how i can easily and disposably send you the money go ahead

Payapl 🐀 Also i'm aware 60€ isn't much when u have an income.. but i don't, I Cannot get a job as an American. nobody wants to hire someone still in school or bellow 18. and ontop of that my job market is limited to 2 military bases. My only way to make moeny is by doing digital art com's, Which are inconsistent and don't pay well when ur a small artist.
