Is GeForce GT 710 waste of money?

[ijhu32]

I'm not a gamer but work with the Photoshop and other such programs. I do not need a gaming, please suggest some budget graphic card.

Currently I am considering EVGA GeForce GT 710, its very cheap but is it waste of money or it will work fine with the sotwares like photoshop? If not, please suggest some alternatives.

Hi, here's a video regards to your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp6ltBCMDCE
The video card you're considering is bad. Bad as compared to integrated graphics. Recently my older PC's GPU burnt and I had to use integrated motherboard graphics and to my surprise it wasn't horrible at all. I was using some modeling applications and photoshop extensively, it was easy to work with. That build had a very old pentium processor and some old Asus motherboard, but it was from 2010. So today's PCs can easily run everything you named.

If you do want a GPU I'd recommend saving up some money while you're using an integrated GPU and getting a non expensive radeon card, just don't buy the low profile, low ends ones because they're worse than current CPU chips. You could also look at Ebay or something similar in your local area for used parts, something like GTX 760 definitely shouldn't cost that much, while for simple everyday use it'll be very powerful and also be able to handle even some games.

In short, don't get the low end cards, they're not priced right. Good luck!
