[SOLVED] i want to get a new graphics card.

[checkerkill]

So as the title says I want a new graphics card because the one I have right now isnt the best (AMD Radeon R7 200 series).
this are some informations i know from my Computer. maybe they can help you to tell me what i need.

Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
RAM: 8gb
Motherboard: ASRock 870 Extreme3 R2.0

My Computer overall is really old and if u need any other information just tell me and i try to find it.^^


thanks for the help right away.
(and sorry if my english is not the yellow from the egg )

Edit: if it helps (i dont really know) i like playing games like League of Legends, Darksouls (1,2,3) and might wanna play The Witcher 3.
I mostly play League of Legends and i dont know if its only the graphics card thats making it lag. so if it isnt only the graphics card or it isn'T the graphics card at all, be free to tell me ^^

Well....as you said....the computer is old....that CPU is pretty slow.....so you can't go with a really fast GPU.....if you do.....the CPU will hold you back.

Although you can upgrade higher than what you have.

What you have is this....or similar.

You could go to a GTX 1050 or a GTX 1650 and get performance something like this.

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+1050&id=3596

I wouldn't go higher than these.

do you mean with GTX 1050 the GTX 1050 Ti or just the GTX 1050. because when i search for GTX 1050 i always get 1050 TI and i once tried it with the GTX 1050 Ti (a friend borrowed me his for a day) and i felt like it was worse. I think my CPU hold it back. i saw a thread from 2 years ago with someone having the same processor and they told him to get the RX 460 and i thought of buying that but i wasnt sure so i first asked here.

Having that CPU can really bottle neck your computer if you are thinking about upgrading your graphics card. I would look into getting a new CPU and a new graphics card if you are looking into playing a game like The Witcher 3. This may cost a bit extra money but if you like playing video games often, I would say its definitely worth it. Something like the 1050 is great for what your doing and maybe even a 1060 would be better. For the CPU if you are looking for AMD, I would go for the R5 2600 I found here.

PS- Do not be scared to buy used parts. I recently have bought a new motherboard, cpu and 2 1080's all used and they work great. Can get a great price on these when buying used if you are trying to save a buck or two.

if you are looking on saving a buck and getting some nice hardware, i found a few things you might want to look into.

go for a GTX 1650 for that build based on specs

I thank you all for your help and answers. I think im trying the GTX 1650 because its sounds good and not to expensive. to the one person who told me to might get a new processor etc. i just wanna first go for a cheap graphics card and if i have so more money i want to buy myself a complete new computer. this computer is just temporary for some of my most played games^^.
so anyways i hope the GTX 1650 will work good so i dont need to worry about it and thank you all again for your help and answer. I wish everyone here a nice day and a good start in the new year/decade.
