I need a decent graphics card for $25 or under

[jrfisher5363]

Im building a budget gaming pc and i need a graphics card for $25 or under.
Also it has to be on amazon because that is what gift card i have.
Ive looked at loads of graphics cards and im not sure what i should buy.
I dont expect to be able to play the latest AAA titles on my budget but id probably be playing games such as
minecraft, csgo, fortnite, ect...
If anyone can recommend a good graphics card for my budget i would be very grateful!
Thanks.

Welcome to Tom's!
What are the rest of your components? You might not need a graphics card as most CPUs have integrated graphics that would surpass a $25 discrete graphics card.

I doubt you'll find anything on amazon that can achieve good performance in CSGO, Fortnite etc for only $25. You might want to take your search to ebay.

Here you go. Enjoy!

In all seriousness though...
There's a GTX 730 for $44.95: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Graphics-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B077V3F9T8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1523030740&sr=1-1&keywords=nvidia+gtx
(however this may not cut it for Fortnite)

Realistically, you would need at least this: GTX 1030 for $109: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1523030740&sr=1-7&keywords=nvidia+gtx

Why would you recommend a card that can't even play the games he mentioned? If he listens to you, he would be completely screwed. smh.

 

[toshibitsu]

It's the only thing available for $25. Realistically, if he wants to play any of those games(even on low settings), he needs to spend a good deal more then $25.

"games such as minecraft, csgo, fortnite, ect..."
How is he going to play any of those with this card?

Here you go. Enjoy!

Lol - Rage!!!

 

[jrfisher5363]

Well i have an amd phenom x4 9500 that i just purchased and im pretty sure i need to buy a new power supply because the system doesnt power oj with it. It does powers on and works however with my amd athlon 64 soo idk.
The psu i have now is a 300w and the ram is a 2gb currently but i plan on upgrading to 8gb.
Thats pretty much it

 

[penn919]

There is no decent graphics card on the market (Used or otherwise) for $25. build your budget rig based on the AMD R5 2400G. It has the best integrated GPU on the market and should be able to play minecraft, csgo, fortnite just fine. You won't have to buy a discrete card.

 

[WildCard999]

I have a AMD HD 5770 1gb that's collecting dust if you want it, at the very least it should be able to play Minecraft and CSGO.

 

[jrfisher5363]

How much?

 

[WildCard999]

Free.

 

[jrfisher5363]

What about shipping?

 

[WildCard999]

Well if you could pay shipping that would be nice, it doesn't weigh much although I haven't shipped anything in a long time. If it's cheap I'll pay for it.

 

[toshibitsu]

Fortnite requires a minimum of a GTX 660 or a HD 7870. Although that 5770 would work for the other 2(to at least play them). You're going to have very low FPS in Minecraft though no matter what settings you adjust.

 

[penn919]

How much?

Sounds like he's giving it away. Definitely take it.

 

[WildCard999]

I'm not worried about getting money for it, I completely understand what it's like not to have money and scraping parts together just to game. If your in the US I'll ship it to you, just PM a address or PO box.

(As long as the shipping isn't like $30+ LOL).

 

[jrfisher5363]

The only money i have left is on a $25 dollar amazon gift card and i have like $7 on an ebay gift card

If you ship just the graphics card via USPS parcel post, it should cost just about $10 or so.

 

[WildCard999]

Eh, still cheaper then getting rid of it at the dump or Best Buy.

 

[jrfisher5363]

So im also thinking that my psu isnt strong enough to power my phenom along with the rest of the components

 

[jrfisher5363]

Luckily my cousin has a psu hes giving to me .
Its 450w so i think that should be more than enough

 

[penn919]

Use the $25 giftcard to help pay for a 500W 80+ Bronz PSU.

 

[jrfisher5363]

So you think id need 500w rather than 450w?
