Thanks for the advice. I grabbed a gtx 1070 off eBay for $70 all in. The listing says it has two bad HDMI ports, but that's fine because I only use one monitor. Thanks
I'm looking to upgrade the GPU in my desktop. I don't game anymore so the PC is more of a workstation. What I currently have is a reason 4850hd. It's old, but it wasn't when I bought it. I had two in x fire for a while but one died.
The biggest limitation I have is running fusion360 is terribly slow when parts get complicated or I have multiple designs open. It's bad enough the my Asus rog laptop is faster and smoother at running fusion than my desktop even though my desktop has a now powerful processor and way more RAM.
So what I'm looking for is something in the sub $100 range that's better than what I have and will be better for fusion. I realize thats a pretty wide margin, but that's all the stipulations I have. I'm completely open to second hand cards of off eBay as well. I know that sometimes yesterday's to end card is better than today's economy hardware.
Thanks
eBay is your friend here. Looks like there are a good number of turn key Nvidia GTX 1070 cards available right at your budget from some highly rated sellers, using this search string in the computer components and parts -> graphics/video cards category yielded 160 results:
1070 -broken -read -only -repair -empty -box
Here's a link to the actual search :
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1070+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_sacat=27386&_odkw=980+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_osacat=27386&LH_BIN=1
be sure to make generous use of '-' terms as seen in my search string to filter out the giant wad of irrelevant/useless results that'll come up, and read the recent/seller feedback for the sellers you are considering doing business with and stay away from single digit feedback sellers with pricing that is far cheaper than expected for the item - (e.g. a $150 brand-new RTX 3080 from a seller with a feedback score of 5 is very unlikely to be legit 🫥) and you should find what you are looking for. Good luck!
