[SOLVED] Best Graphics Card for my specs

[mycourses]

Hi All,

I'm planning to learn 3D modelling using Blender. Now the latest Blender version has these requirements. My current system specs is mentioned below:

Motherboard : ASUSTeK M5A78L-M/USB3
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor, 3500 Mhz, 4 Core(s)
Builtin Graphics Card : ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics
RAM : 8GB DDR3
PSU : 500w

I understand that it's an old PC, please recommend a graphics card that can run Blender. I'm not getting into gamedev at the moment. Just starting with modelling. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye out for either of these two cards.

Those are an example, there are many cards that would fit your bill
rx470/570/580/480
a 1060 3gb, a gtx 780/780ti.
radeon rx 5500.
I just mean a not current gen, but not super old card that is about the level of perfromance of these cards (all of them should be between about 15% of each other)
