[SOLVED] Is the ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB a good card for light gaming?

[JB-LOL]

Just wondering as I found one for £14 and want to replace my 512mb Nvidia geforce 9600gt . I will replace my whole PC when funds allow but I want to know if it is a decent card for light gaming. (My processor is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @3.0GHz)
How much better is it than my current card?
Thank you

EDIT: I just want to know if this card is fine for non demanding games and older titles so please don't tell me about other parts or advise I need an upgrade, I know I do but I am only 15 and can't get the money for a whole new computer. I have a ps4 for playing newer games

It's better, but it's still way behind what is currently available. This matters because modern games will be looking for more modern cards than the 5750. The IGP found in the Ryzen 3 2300G is likely faster than the 5750. I personally would look for something newer.

Like I said I will only be doing light gaming (old games as well as newer but non demanding titles). I cannot put anything better at the moment as I have an old lga775 mobo and so I need to upgrade my pc altogether, especially as I have a low quality psu which only delivers about 300w of power, and the HD 5750 doesn't consume lots of it.

i think that matched the vista machine i bought when vista first came out.

HOW is that thing still working.

something small and cheap i put together to get you into modern gaming. this is the minimum needed to come into modern gaming. might be able to cut about $60 off that if you find a brand you trust that is cheaper.

S/he said pounds, so UK based. Use uk partspicker. And if s/he's listing parts that cost 14 pounds, 300+ is probably out of reach.

You do make a good point. But s/he might be better off spending 100+ on a better used unit.

i think a modern used laptop that is in good shape would be an idea. good screen and can play those old games. and possibly cable to a modern tv also
