I need help with a graphics card!

[NeroFleet]

Ok, so i'm looking for a good graphic/Video card for my AMD A-10 5800K with 8GB RAM
- Needs to be under $70
-NOTE: I just need something good for now. Something to boost my FPS by a little.
I just need help finding one... Please send links and tips.

any lower than that and it is barely a step up from the igp you have now. i'd suggest saving a few more bucks for an actual upgrade. around $100 will get you a nice boost to the igp you have now.

I'd have to agree with Math Geek. Anything at that price point is not going to give you enough of a difference from the onboard graphics to spend money on. I would save up until you have at least twice that to spend. You can get a great video card for ~$150 US. I would suggest an R9 270X, but if you want Nvidia the 750ti isn't far behind. The R9 does take significantly more power, but it beats the 750 by anywhere from 2-10 frames per second, depending on the game.

What about a GeForce 720? My friend has it, and it works perfect... And there not that expensive.

a 720 is at best equivalent to the igp and at worst is less performing.

i'd look at used or open boxed cards to try and maximize that budget rather than wasting the money on something that is barely an upgrade.

here is a gtx 740 refurbished that is better than anything new i see below $70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500384 it is $60 and will offer an actual upgrade to your current igp.

here is a used 7770 for $70 which is a HUGE step up if you have the power supply to run it. it needs a 6 pin power connector

that's about all i see with some quick skimming of a few sites.

Would this work on the AMD A-10 5800k?

 

[Math Geek]

oh yah it'll work fine with the a10. any card will work, it simply disables the onboard igp and uses the card instead. and it is a bit of an upgrade over the igp making it actually worth the money.
