Graphics out of stock + price how to buy?

This morning's "News Tea Fan" mentioned the news of price hikes, which is aggravated by the shortage of graphics cards due to mining. It seems that I am afraid that there will be no hope of remission until the first half of next year. But this way, want to install the graphics card partner how to do it? In today's commentary, there are many people who worry about this matter. Xiao Bian happens to be pushing and giving everyone a move - buy old money.

First of all, Xiao Bian wants to say one thing, the biggest disadvantage of buying old video cards has two points, one is that many old video cards are only used, there is no new goods. Another point is that older graphics cards may perform poorly in new games (for example, the game is DX12, graphics cards only support DX11), and new effects cannot be seen (but basic performance may not be possible).

For the first point, Xiao Bian suggested that salt fish, Taobao's online shop more stroll, on the one hand to see whether the seller is a businessman, a lot of second-hand graphics cards are a lot of Internet cafes or mining cards, these are best not to touch. If it is a work bag inventory, it can be considered; on the other hand, it is to look at the seller's credit, especially the sesame credit, which is too low to directly ignore, and the higher the credit, the better, so that problems can be avoided as much as possible.

The second point is the performance of the game, the latest game of AAA level do not want to open full high effects, including whether to support DX12, the old video card can do nothing. However, the old graphics cards may not be vulnerable to basic performance. The old models of high-end products have no problem with smooth 1080P operation under moderate special effects. There is no need to worry about this.

GTX460

GTX460 in the price of salted fish is about 150 yuan or so, have to say that GTX460 is a very strong graphics card, support hardware 1080P HD decoding, maximum resolution support 2560 × 1600 (corresponding display resolution can support 2K). Game performance Well, the daily online game is not a big problem, Diablo 3 can be measured running smoothly, do not think much.

GTX750

GTX750 performance close to the GT 1030 graphics card, the current price of about 300 yuan, of course, you have to not bad money to buy a GTX750 Ti would be better. "Watching Pioneer" can be run smoothly under the medium special effects, cost-effective. And there is a small amount of new cards (take a chance), but don't buy them!

HD7870

HD7870 is an A card's old and powerful product, the current price is probably at more than 500 yuan level, performance is stronger than RX460, slightly less GTX1050. However, the power consumption of this card is a bit high compared to the above. Note that the power supply is better than 400W and 500W is not too much. Of course, you can also choose

R9 270X, slightly better performance, slightly higher prices.

GTX780

Second-hand graphics card thousand yuan you dare to? If you dare, Xiaobian recommended GTX780, this card's biggest problem is two, the first high power consumption, it is best to use about 600W power supply; second is not to support DX12, the latest game masterpiece can only run under DX11 , The effect seems to be a little worse - but the smooth running of the high effect is no problem, after all, this card's performance is comparable to the GTX1060 Oh!

Xiao Bian did not recommend the previous generation of A and N cards. This is because the price is not suitable. For example, GTX980 is better than the GTX780, but it is also a price of nearly 2,000 yuan. It is really not necessary. In addition, this wave of graphics cards out of stock + price double hit, Xiao Bian believe that at least until next year can only ease the possibility, and there will be a lot of pit people's mine disaster video card, and this way, it is better to buy an old money The video card continues to be used.
