What's the best bang for your buck video card out for sale right now?

I currently have an AMD HD Radeon 7850, believe I built this computer couple years ago, and seems like needs an update, and with the sales going around soon, good timing.

Thanks!

Depending on your monitor/resolution, an update may not even be necessary... waiting for the rest of the nvidia 9xx or newest AMD GPUs seems to make more sense right now.

In about 4-5 months the rest of the GTX 900 Series should be released and the AMD R9 300 series as well. As it stands, the best price/performance is the GTX 970. However, the R9 290 and R9290x recently went on sale and great for the prices as well.

Get a GTX 970 if you really want to upgrade immediately or wait for the new GPUs to come out Q2 of 2015.

Everyone saying the 970 is best for money is from a different country where performance divided by dollars is some irrelevant figure.

The R9 290 is the best price versus performance at the moment.

All 290's also come with Amd Gold + Civ: beyond earth
even if you dont want those, you can sell them making the price disparity even greater.

I mean based on that i would have two questions
1. how long is taking you to list something on ***
2. how much do you make an hour? XD

listing both of these should take only 5-10 mins and then sending a message would take another minute.
