The market is gradually regulating itself, but the problem is that for a low-end GPU, manufacturers will ask, at least, more than 200$. Considering the savagery that this will represent for a new batch GPU, the old models take a lot of strength, since for less or the same price one could have a similar or higher power.
NVIDIA GTX 960, the big coverage for gaming today
We always talk about the GTX 1650, the RX 580 or even the GTX 1650 SUPER as cheap alternatives, but very few talk about a really interesting GPU in terms of performance, price and consumption, like the was the GTX 960.
Currently, this GPU is not in high demand due to the lack of popularity among users in second-hand markets, so it can be a bargain if we find it with decent care.
And we are talking about a GPU with an architecture Maxwell a 28nm what did he have 1,024 Shaders, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs and 1 MB of L2all in a frequency of 1.127MHz for BaseClock and 1.178MHz for boost mode.
But the really important section is the VRAM memory section, because here is the whole key of this model , since the NVIDIA original had 2 GB of GDDR5 at 7 Gbps
The model shown is the GTX 960 4GB version
The option to look for is GTX 960 4GBa model that barely had 10 watts more consumption (130W) and had the same characteristics as those named, only twice as much VRAM as is logical.
This graphics card in one of the models that have been launched in the market is really interesting, because it is not far from the aforementioned competitors and is even above the GTX 1050 Ti and quite close to the AMD RX 6400 , since the models that came out are overclocked, which improves their performance right out of the box.
The important thing is to find an interesting price model, because this one should be on the 90 or 100 dollars maximumwe are therefore talking about at least half the price of one of its rival cards for 1080p. It is necessary to take into account the state of the graphics card, its cleanliness, the use which has been made of it, if it includes its case and its accessories and the maintenance it has had with its previous owner to ask for the price that we mentioned.
Currently there are few models that perform similar values, users are still trying to take advantage of the cryptocurrency fever, but in some forums they have been seen for less than 100 dollars in very interesting condition, that being GTX 960 4GB an option to consider for 1080p in low.
