Hmmm...seems overpowered for 1080p gaming. If you have a rather slow/old CPU, you won't reach very high fps in 1080p, anyways. I'd rather buy some newer used hardware and have a look at AMD's options. An RX6600 used is a deal, or an RX6700 (XT). I owned an RX 6700 XT (~$400), it's quite good for 1440p or 1080p newer triple A's. I might buy a used RX 6600 for like 140 bucks or simply wait using my old fart GTX 970.

This card saved my sorry ass when I needed something to run Halo Infinite. My friend lent me this card after thinking his buddy burned it out, and it sat for a year after I couldn't get it to work. Then Halo Infinite launched and my Radeon Sapphire R7 370 couldn't run the game. However, the games compatibility list read the 970 could. And I freaked out. I had a way to play the game, but it wasn't working. So by chance, I just tried the 970 again despite failed attempts prior, and by some miracle of the GeForce Gods, IT WORKED. And I used this card throughout all of 2022.

The problem with picking it up now even if it's $40, is you'll need to upgrade too soon unless you absolutely only play low req games. So it's kind of a wasted $40 for only 2 years max. If you spend an extra $100 you'll get like a 6600 and you could stick with that for probably 10 years.

I do a similar thing occasionally (pc flipping), if you get the right prices (patience:-) ) it’s not that hard to profit. The cards I most often use are: gtx 970, gtx 1050ti, gtx 1650, gtx 1060 6gb. They are extremely reliable, provide predictable performance, and can often be bought real cheap. I’m not so impressed with AMD cards (rx 580 8gb definitely is good value) they sometimes have stability issues, I never have any issues with old NVIDIA cards

As someone who has owned a GTX 970 since release 2023 has sadly been the year it was laid to rest. In my main PC it was replaced with a RTX 3060, so the 970 moved into my media PC (which was a nice little upgrade from the GTX 760 that had previously been in it.) However while browsing Aliexpress I came across a RX580 8GB 2048SP for only £41.42 (around $50.49USD) and I snapped it up for that price. So now I have my first all AMD PC and it performs so much better than when the GTX 970 was in it. If you have a GTX 970 it's perhaps not quite time to retire it yet but if you're in the look out for a budget card to buy today the RX580 8GB 2048SP is a better choice.

Honestly I don’t care if I run 70-80 FPS, I just hate that I can barely run anything on my pc without INSANE lag, even on low settings. Phasmophobia takes 5-10 mins just to open, not counting the time it takes to finish initializing. I feel like this would be great for me.

The useful life of a GTX 970 is longer than people think. It has practically the same graphic features as a 1080 Ti (12_1), the most powerful of the GTXs. It only suffers from compatibility with Ray Tracing (12_2) of the RTX as relevant feature. But with HBAO+ available, it's more than enough.

Yesterday, I again put it in my desktop I bought in 2021. I've already had put it in once as I first returned my RX 6900XT (too overpriced back then) and now again as I returned my RX 6700XT (nice card, but I want more for 400€). I bought the GTX 970 used in 2017, used it until 2021, donated it to my daughter, and gave her my used GTX 1080 I bought for triple screen sim racing in late 2021 and got this baby back in return. After 2 years of sleeping, this l'il *u*** is again pushed to the limits. Just replaced the thermal paste for the first time, runs very cold. Next step is to do some undervolting via MSI Afterburner (got the Strix model, there are specific cfgs for afterburner to unlock undervolting) and see, how less it needs to run stable, then, give it back some more volts and do a moderate overclock. Well, seems like im literally stuck with this card, haha.

@@RAVisuals Well, I haven't had time to play lately, had a deal to sent back the 6700XT within 100 days (did that on Friday), and for those games I play atm, the GTX 970 is sufficient. Summer's also coming, hot temperatures and low GPU prices, was a no brainer to me as you don't get much for this card on the used market nowadays. Switched from triple sim to playing on one bigger screen in the living room via steam link, Assetto can run a stable 80 fps @ 1440p, as Steam Link only delivers 1080p, Shutoko at night is also stable :D. It's still possible to play it on triples, though, if you make it 3x 720p plus upscaling. Had my first experiences with undervolting, too. When gaming, I can undervolt the card by -60, even -70 mV while ocing clock by 180 and memory by 466 mhz, which is insane. Only tested Assetto so far, Furmark crashes after some secs :D, but the card is very cool @60 C° (manual fan curve), only draws 160 watts and has stable overclocked hz with power limit @ 114% (which it seldomly reaches). It's idling @ 25 watts with 2 monitors which is kinda meh compared to 7 watts of the RX 6700XT (PC's a daily driver for work), a heavy undervolt and underclock could only decrease 1-3 watts there. Also seems like the card needs some time to fully go into idle, then it sits at ~ 15 watts. Hope it brings me through summer and maybe autumn, I keep my fingers crossed.

Meh for less than $130 you can get much superior RX 5700 xt that let you play anything at high/ultra at over 60fps/1080p (unless that's last of us remastered but that game is really unoptimized and still broken due laziness of the devs)
@tgo007 Жыл бұрын
only problem with 5700 xt is the power use. For like $40 more you can get a 6600xt that will have the same performance fps wise. Buy paying the extra $40, you end up saving more in the long run in the monthly electric bill.
