Oh Dear Lord.. Here we go!

I have i3-550 3,20 GhZ & Motherboard Medion PC ms-7708

I want to buy the best video card for gaming that would last at least the next 4-5 years, what i mean by for the next 5 years is that i want it in 2021 to play at least at Minimum the games which will be out then!

Oh and my max resolution is 1440x900 xD!

If you are kind and wish to help you are free to comment and help my sorry ass ^^ , from the cheapest to the richest! kek! 😀
 
I am sorry, you could get a high end graphics card but your i3 would be a huge bottleneck to it and even the best of graphics cards would have trouble catching up for 5 years. If you could tell me your budget then I can help you with something that would be a good partner with your processor.

234 USD or 221 Euro xD whatcha ya think?

 


GTX 1060 is the best bang for your buck. Btw, I am not saying that no game will run. Just that the bottleneck will cause big fps loss.
Good luck.
 
um these goes god got a stepson on 1 of these i call a barstard build running 8gig of ram u wont bottleneck much but if you want vr @ a budget go for the rx460 or 470 go for more than 2gig as the most of the newer games will be getting graphically intsensive even the new nvidia 1050 & tis even the 1060s are good cards you wont have issues but comes down to the games your playing my stepsons build hs impressed me as the first gen i3s are so under rated & this keeps up with i5 or i7s no issues tho be upgrading his set up to a haswell i3q spec processor 8gig ram 128gig ssd primary os 10pro 64bit asrock h81 micro atx board but be using a evga 650ti that's in his set up plays any new release game come all set to low no issues going to upgrade to either the rx or gtx depends whos gives the best deals & be reliable. i wait for the issues of both brands to arise & be sorted before i rush out to buy a decent card
 
i still have no idea what is fit for my 1440x900 p resolution, a 256 bit card or a 192 bit , i am so confused in choosing between the two, the 256 is more expensive while a 6 gb 192 bit it's pretty much affordable :/ i don't think my 900 p resolution needs a 256 bit , what u say?
 
if you are looking to ply at 900p for the entire 4-5 yrs, you can be happy with rx 470. it will be fine hands down. it has a 256 bit bus, but in the end its the performance that counts, not the size of bus.

CPU bottleneck will appear in newer titles, especially when playing in multiplayer mode.

get a rx 470. and then if the going gets tough down the road due to cpu bottleneck, get a cheapo i5-680 series from ebay.
 


HMm i wonder if i buy a video card which is OC (overclocked i think) for example 8 gb Vram OC rx 470, is it any problems for a 600 V source? a friend told me it will burn when there will be electric shocks

 


There's really no need to buy an OC version. It's just a waste of money of money as you can overclock the card yourself.
 


OK...How?

 


Very simple, there are hundreds of overclocking utilities, some are even made by GPU variants.
I'd recommend using MSI Afterburner for it.
 
afterburner is great even evga oc software is as good depends on the brand videocard you go with to stick with msi evga asus or gigabyte they all got great in house oc software to depends on which brand you like & find easiest to oc with
