I'm using a Radeon R9 200 series and someone wants to sell me his GeForce 770 SC for relatively cheap (75$).

I need to make sure my motherboard and power supply can handle the new card. Is there a massive difference between the two cards' requirements?


Edit: I stopped halfway through writing the title and then forgot to finish it...

Fine little upgrade do you know what card from the r5 200 series. So we know what pins gonna be used

Still it's not huge if it's r5 265 it won't really be worth it.

I'm not home right now, but it's r9 200 series not r5.

So you're saying there's not much in terms of upgrade from mine to the Geforce? If that's the case, I might just switch because GeForce handles Path of Exile better than AMD. Just gotta make sure it's compatible. I'll get more info from home tonight.

Oh I'm just drugged right now. My bad well not really worth upgrading. 770 equals about r9 280x/285.
