You´re not seeing the bigger picture.

For newer games, you´d be looking at (at the very minimum) a nVidia GTX 750 TI or nVidia GTX 950 or their counterparts at Radeon.

However, even if you got one of these cards, you´d still not get full benefit from these cards, running 2 GB DDR2 ram and a core 2 Duo CPU.

The best thing you could do, was to save up for an i5 core, and a cheap 1150 socket mobo and 8 GB of DDR3 Rams. That way you´d could run alot of newer games on lowest setting on integrated graphics and...


Your mobo is quite old and gives evidence that your bound to be running an older cpu and older rams as well.

What´s your budget and where do you live?
 
yes, i cpu is like very old. core 2 Duo@2.87ghz, intel g41 graphics 890mb and 2gb ram. So it sucks. And i live in india And my budget is 3000.i want a graphic card for gaming ok.
 


For 3000 indian rupees (roughly $45) you won´t get a videocard that is worth the investment compared to integrated graphics. It may not be what you want to hear, but it´s the truth.

At best you´ll be looking at buying 2nd hand video cards, where you may be able to get a lucky deal on a used GeForce GTX 750 Ti

at your budget point, there is none. $45 dollars or 3000 indian rupees isn´t gonna give you a boost in performance.
You´d be much better off saving up $700-800 and get a whole new gaming pc.
 
i cannot buy a new pc. PLease tell me the cheapest graphic card for gaming even if it out of my my budget. i just want a graphics card but please tell a cheap graphics card that can run upcoming games ok. THanks in advance

$45 dollars arent gonna get you anywhere, and especially in India where prices tend to be higher.

You´d be looking at something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor ($111.95 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($32.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($33.99 @ Adorama)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 950 2GB Video Card ($118.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Total: $342.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

That´s about 23.000 indian rupees, and prices are more expensive in India, so I´d guess around 30k.
For a good gaming pc, you´ll be looking at spending around twice as much.
