Hi
I picked up a used EVGA Nvidia GTX 480 for $40 just so my son and I could play no Mans Sky. It works fairly well. But I would like to increase the graphics and gameplay without spending too much money. For one, we both game on our Xbox One's so I will not be buying any games that are available on Xbox One on the PC. The only games I may purchase are ones that are single player like the remaster of Bioshock etc. So I don't want to go crazy as it wont get used much.
Question: Should I just keep the GTX 480, assuming it might run the remastered Bioshocks?
Or get a better card?
My budget is around $50 to $150 dollars CAD, and I would only purchase from stores like canadacomputers (that is my go to store)
I'm confused because for example I look at canadacomputers and see this card ASUS 710-2-SL-CSM GeForce GT710 2GB DDR3 http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=094032
since is a GT710 with 2GB RAM I figured it must be better than the GTX480 1.5GB RAM but when I check gamedebate it can't run no Mans Sky. So how do I know which cards are better than others? Was also thinking of the MSI GTX 750 TI windoforce OC edition as I can get a used one for $75 which I thought was better than my GTX480 but when I check gamedebate it says it cannot run No Mans Sky
