Can I buy a good gpu for gaming with 25-35$ only?

[OppaiDaisuki]

Hi, I'm planning on buying a new gpu to enhance my performance in gaming but I only have 1,500 php (25$). So is there any good gpu for gaming for only 25$? I appreciate your answers.

I also have a friend who is selling a Nvidia Palit Geforce GT 630 2GB for only 25$. Should I consider buying it?

It depends. So your budget is 1,500 Philippine Pesos (PHP) and you need a used graphics card (GPU).

Please tell me:

(1) Your full specs, including your power supply's manufacturer and model number.

(2) Two or three games that you'll be focused on playing, along with the resolution that your display is set to.

(3) Please list a website in your region that sells used graphics cards, so we can see what's available to you.

You can't buy any graphics card for that price, you'll want at least 5.5k for a decent GPU.

+OppaiDaisuki Ideally, it would be great if you could obtain a used GTX 750(Ti), but I presume that it'll be above your budget. Here in the United States a used 750 Ti can realistically be purchased for $50 USD from Ebay.

A GTX 650(Ti) or 660(Ti) would be a huge upgrade over a GT 630. I've located several models on Ebay's US site that sell within your budget. Please answer my previous questions, to see if we can help you find something equivalent where you live. Friendly regards.

Okay. I do see a handful of GTX 650(Ti) that sold at the top end of your 1,500 PHP budget. The problem is that they shipped from the US for an additional cost of 500 PHP. I only took a moment to glance at lazada, but I didn't see any obvious choices

FYI: I believe that your graphics card is technically called a "Geforce 210" not GT 210. Although people commonly refer to that model as GT.

Here is what I suggest: Sell the Geforce 210. The proceeds should add at least $20 USD to your budget. Either sell in person, or ship online; just be sure that the other person pays shipping. You offering free shipping should be done cautiously, since you don't want to spend all your proceeds. Your budget plus the proceeds from selling your Geforce 210 should be enough for you to buy a used GTX 650, which is approximately 10 times the performance: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-210-vs-Nvidia-GTX-650/m7740vs3154

In addition, once you've sold the Geforce 210, you could place your bid to buy the used GTX 650(Ti) via the Esnipe website. I've been using this service for over 15 years and have never had a problem.

! Caution: Your Core Duo Processor E7500 does not have integrated graphics. You must have a graphics card installed in order to use that computer; it won't function without one. Therefore it's crucial that you make a plan and purchase your new-used graphics card before selling the Geforce 2. Please be very clear on that point.

Important: Please make yourself aware that your new-used graphics card will quite possibly require more power than the PCIe slot can support on it's own. It'll probably require a six pin PCIe cable run from your power supply. Make sure to check how many 6 and/or 8 pin PCIe cables are currently free from your power supply. Also make sure to pay attention to pictures of the card that you plan to buy. See if there are any ports on the side or top of the card that'll need to be connected to your power supply. You should be fine.

Thank you very much!

One last thing: All Geforce 210's had at least a VGA, and DVI ports for your display. Some models even had an additional HDMI port. It is unlikely that the GTX 650 or any replacement graphics card will have a VGA port; as that port has been discontinued. If you're using VGA cable (end has a blue connector) then you'll need to plan for that. I can offer suggestions if that's the case.

Important: Please make yourself aware that your new-used graphics card will quite possibly require more power than the PCIe slot can support on it's own. It'll probably require a six pin PCIe cable run from your power supply. Make sure to check how many 6 and/or 8 pin PCIe cables are currently free from your power supply.

I apologize for my verbose explanations, but this thread required it. You are very welcome.

Yep, given his mobo won't have UEFI support a 650 is the best choice here.
