lostassassin13 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I currently have an AMD HD 6870 from XFX (reference-style card) in my PC. I have a friend that is offering to trade me his EVGA GTX 580 for the trade plus I give him $50. Thoughts on this trade? Worth it? Am I going to see a performance increase at all?

Dateranoth Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Looks like it would be about a 50% improvement over your current card. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/517?vs=540For the money, you won't be able to buy a better upgrade. Even if you sell your card and add 50 to the going price it may net you enough to buy a 7850 or 650ti, but neither will be better than the 580gtx. Just keep in mind the 580 is a power sucker compared to yours. Going to need at least a 500 watt psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostassassin13 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have a 750W Corsair, so power supply should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 In that case go grab that sucker. It's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faperture Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Damn it. That's the same price I paid for the 570. Sold out now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
