Author Topic: What graphics card should I get?  (Read 859 times)

Same one that hillkill reccomened.

This seems to be the best option I have. It is at the height of my budget, so I will have to save money for a while.
Looks a lot better then the one I have now.
EDIT:

The PSU for your computer is rated at 460W. I also know that you only have access to a PCI Express x16 slot.

Newegg's results might net you something cool.

Before you think about buying, compare the name of your chosen card to this list; only choose parts that have a Recommended PSU Wattage of 430W or lower. In this website, compare your NVIDIA Geforce 210 to the card you think to make sure it will actually give you good results.

Hopefully you'll find something you like.

Hmm, maybe not what hillkill recommenced.
I'll have to look into this, the results show some cheaper cards.

For 60 bucks you're not going to get a good gpu mate.
Even intels igpu is better

Save up or feast at mcdonalds with your 60 dollars

He doesn't want an amazing GPU, just one that will let him actually play some games. $60 can net you a fairly decent GPU that will let you play many games in low resolution with the settings cranked down.

From using the power requirements site, it stated that the 210 and 720 had the same exact specs when it came to power.
Gpu boss pretty much shows it to be superior in every way.

So unless there is something incompatible with the 730 that I seem to be missing, then it's probably the best choice.

Wait, now I found something else:

The 720 is cheaper, yet still is vastly superior compared to the 210.

Perhaps this one, if it works with my PC.

Id rather save up fam

Anyways try to get a GT820.
I have one in my laptop
Runs everything decent on 1600x900 at medium-ish settings

I don't care if I have to play on average settings.

Anyway, I found a used 720 for about $40. I won't go for it right now, but this seems to be the best one for me.

That's because the GT720 only consumes 9W more than the GT210. It's also compatible with the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot in your PC.

I think that's a fantastic choice.

Eh
A 720 is pretty much an 820, just an older generation.
Try to see if a 730 fits in your budget. Or try second hand

Well, I think I found my card then.

Thanks McJob.

Edit: I just remembered, Easter is coming up. Usually my relatives get me a little bit of money, so if I get $15 all together I can definitely go for the 730.
I'll see what I get, and then I'll make my choice.
