Title: [WTB] Cheap graphics card [Card purchased]
Post by: Darkneo on February 24, 2013, 09:41:15 PM
I'm building a computer and don't have much money for a graphics card. I know there's going to be a lot coming on the market now that the ASICs are coming. I'm looking for something fairly good for gaming, hdmi output, i really don't know much about graphics cards. Also I'm US based so it would be best to have someone to deal with in-country. I am also buying a tuner card to record television, you need to make sure its compatible with the Ceton InfinitiTV 4 PCIe. I also want an amd card.

Edit: I have purchased a video card and it is being shipped.

errr..... nm...

Like I told the other guy, find some cheap 5870 someone is selling.  Probably best 'value' deal right now.

I have a Radeon 5550 that was used for one week.  It was never overclocked and never mined with.  It's in like-new condition.

It's made by XFX.  I'll do 1 BTC + shipping. 

The history behind the card is that it was received as part of a Tiger Direct computer bundle.  I used it for a week, played a little Crysis 2 with it, then upgraded after a week to a 6970 to do some more serious mining at the time.  The 5550 was placed back in its box and has been sitting around untouched ever since.
