[SOLVED] Best GPU's in range of 250$ and where to buy

[Syed_Jlaluddin]

Hello sir I'm from Pakistan and I'm facing issues of selection and buying GPU. I have 250$ budget. Kindly tell me the cards which can I buy nowadays and from where to buy. I can use shipping service!

You would need to start looking at the used market to get anything worthwhile. Ebay and the like that are willing to ship to Pakistan.

That entry to mid level gaming card market is the hardest hit. That is what everyone really wants and there simply isn't enough to go around.

I regret this is a bad time for everybody looking to buy cheap GPUs. Especially if you want new. In another 4 months the situation might change.

Are you building a new system, or trying to upgrade an existing one? And what are the specs of said system? Please include the power supply.

Everything you will be able to buy will be a marginal upgrade at best and outside of support. This means no active driver updates for game optimization. With that power supply that old I would not recommend buying anything with greater than a 6 pin PCIe connector. (75W)

AMD stopped supporting everything pre 400 series (380, 370, 390, 280, 285, Fury etc... is not supported)
NVIDIA stopped supporting before 1000 series 1030, 1050, 1060, 1080 (900 series and before 980/970/960 etc are not supported)

If you loooooook real hard you might be able to get a 1030 for $100. But I'm not sure that's much of an upgrade. I've seen them sell for over $200. But it is a slow card. AMD iGPU APU's these days are almost as fast. Sometimes faster.
