So where go from this? Also note that this one takes 2 six pin power plugs. I want a powerful card but possibly without having to pin power it.
Aaron Phillips
And to add to this. I'll need to currently change my power supply in order to use this card. Current power supply is stock and poo.
Isaac Mitchell
You're looking to use a GTX 260?
I hope you got it for free.
Benjamin Rogers
I did. Gonna use it until I can move up a tad. I mean it has capabilities to play some games. If what I have now can play I know this will for the time being.
Angel Bennett
can it run crysis 3 though?
Jonathan Lopez
Probably on low settings. Luckilly for me I don't play crisis much lol.

If you need a PSU, this will get you by.
Nicholas Morris
It's actually not far off from what I was looking at. Double 6 pin power for the gpu? That's the main thing I need. Never changed a gpu before.
This is what I was looking at earlier in the week. amazon.com
Jaxon Rivera
Yes, it has two six pins.
If you're not gonna send in for the rebate (and most people don't ever get around to it), go with that one instead.
Gavin Hall
I hadn't planned on sending in. Go with which one yours?
I aperciate the help. I've been scratching Mt head for a week now trying to figure this out.
Gavin Clark
>Go with which one yours?
No, the EVGA.
>7870s for $40 each
Uh, and this if you can swing the $80. I think this is GTX 980 guy who just posted his 7870's in the other thread, so it's probably legit.
I'd say don't bother with the Crossfire, though. Get the 500W planning on using one and sell the other.
David Jackson
Yeah i deleted my post cause i dont want him fucking with crossfire, shits a mess.
Hunter Price
Dang. His post got deleted. I was going to tell him to email me.
Thanks for the help on psu. I'll order that. Then use the 280 for a while till I can scrape together some coin for something better in gpu
Jacob Hughes
Nvm that bro, crossfire is an absolute mess. Shitty support, choppy frames. Single cards are way better, even if they are low end
Jaxon Brooks
It's all good.
Good to know however. I've always been a software person on computers. So changing shit out inside of one is all new to me here.
Eli Powell
Current card is a evega gt 630
So I'm sure the gtx 260 will be a upgrade just a little bit atleast.
Landon Bell
He could sell the other and recoup half the cost of the PSU, though.
Was actually gonna suggest he look for 7870's. I picked up two myself. (two machines)
If you don't want to sell, I do have a GTX 580 sitting here that I'd be fine putting out for $40 as well, though I'm not entirely sure I'd want to go through the trouble of mailing it anywhere.
Lucas Gonzalez
I'm in the states if that helps lol.
Mason Clark
Happen to be in CT?

Sadly no. I'm in La

What the say did you just say fuck me about, you bitching a little? I'll have you graduate I know top of my Seals in the Navy Classes, and I've been raided in numerou Al Quaeda secret involvements, and I have killed over 300 confirmations. I am a trained gorilla. In warfare, I'm the sniper arm in the entire US force tops. You are targeting me but I'm just another nothing. I will fuck you with precision the wipes which has never been liked before on this scene. Earth, fuck my marking words. You can get away with thinking that shit over me to the Internet? Fuck again, thinker. As we spy I am networking my secret speaking across the trace and your IP is being prepared right now so you better storm the maggots. The wipes that storms out of the little pathetic thing. Life you call yours? Your fucking dead kids. I can be any time. I can weigh you in over seven hundred kills, and that's my bear hands. Not only am I extensively accessed by trains, but I have no arms for combatting the entire arsenal United States, and I will use it to wipe your miserable ass. You shit the faceoff of the continent. If you only could have commented what unholy cleverness your little "retribution" was about. To bring down upon you, maybe you would have fucked your tongue. But you wouldn't, you shouldn't, and now you're holding the pay, you goddamn idiot. I will drown in shit fury. Sincerely, your dead fucking kiddo.
Adrian Myers
Damn, that Craigslist is empty.
What do you have for a computer, anyway?
Ayden Adams
Exactly lol. Pc stuff around here is rare.
I have a elite desk, the big 800 series. Got the i5 in it. 32 gigs of ram. Amd as of right now that evega on gpu. It can play some things decently. But not crazy shit like I want.
Parker Evans
Not familiar with that, but a quick google seems to show most are small form factor. You do have a full size case, right?
Noah Thomas
> I want a powerful card but possibly without having to pin power it.
1) How powerful?
2) Only recent cards may offer something acceptable with only PCIE power.
> I'll need to currently change my power supply in order to use this card
This is obligatory if you're looking for something powerful.
Logan Cooper
Yes it's a full sized case. It's the elite desk 800 GI TWR
Once all my "guts" are in order a case will be next. Found a snazzy nzxt case that I like.
Charles Gray
I'm looking to run gta 5, the division. Shit like that. I know that 260 I have can run gta 5. Not necessarily on full settings. However I still need that power supply in order to use it. Seeing as current one has no 6 pin pci-e connectors. So really I guess it does boil down to me needing to change the power supply no matter what. Not that it's pricey or anything.
Xavier Ward
From the looks of it it's going to be hopeless at The Division, though.
Do you have $200 to throw at this? AMD's set to release their new RX 480 on the 29th at $199. It looks like it's going to be a performer, and it's to have more a more future-proof amount of RAM than most things on the used market.
Nathan Bell
I was actually watching a video on it the other night. Put it into my consideration list. I've just never used AMD graphics.
Mason Peterson
>graphical processing unit cards
Jason Richardson
Basically the same. Their drivers are a bit worse, but they seem to be working on it. A video driver reset every now and again isn't much.
Thomas Moore
I'll definitely keep my eyes on that specific one then. Because from what I did see in the video. Aside from the asshat who was showing it off drop it. They said it's suppose to have some decent power for the price. Might just get my psu and rock that 260 till I save enough for the 200 amd
Grayson Bennett
nah crysis 3 is DX12 only
t. HD4870 user
Levi Jenkins
desu not really
260 is only as powerful as a 640 by the theoretical specs, the more current drivers and efficiency improvements probably make up for the rest.
Jose Nelson
The 640 can't run gta 5 tho. I know the 260 can I've seen it do so. That's a small step up in my book.
Aiden Watson
I mean the 630 can't run gta 5. My bad
Eli Edwards
Anthony Butler
Well shit!!
Brayden Bennett
I might as well get this then..Look at this on eBay ebay.com
Josiah Cruz
Well part of the issue is there are three different GT 630's, using three different GPU cores

So would you say that putting in my gtx 260 would be a step up? ?
Gabriel Diaz
shit price honestly, for new you can get: microcenter.com
Alexander Nelson
No.
Yes.
Owen Watson

Cameron Wilson
Well then I guess I'll order my power supply and put it in. At least until I can save enough for something better.
Lincoln Clark
That's pretty awesome. Would get just for the looks.
Landon Bell
AnandTech's 2012 bench has the GTX 260, so you can get an idea how it stacks up against some of the GPUs of around there.
anandtech.com
Yours should be a tad bit faster since it's a GTX 260 Core 216 instead of a vanilla 260 and it has higher clocks.
bit-tech.net
James Howard
I got it for free from a buddy so I'm not complaining lol. So long as it's a step in the right direction with my build. And better than what I have.
Also thanks for all the info.
Matthew Allen
Good card, it's what I'm currently using. $100 seems like a little much for a used card though (I know it says "like new condition" but that's obliviously BS). If you could then pick up another 660 ti later down the road and run it in SLi then you would have a pretty decent set up.
Christian Rodriguez
With $10 shipping on top it's quite awful, when you can pick up a 7870 for $90 free shipping.
ebay.com
Julian Clark
I already said that auction overpriced, but if you look there are several other listings that are a much better deal.
