Is this good, else can you list one?

[Hardc0re]

Hi folks,

I am looking to purchase a Nvidia graphics card with a £55 budget, the best one I have found is this http://www.dabs.com/products/evga-geforce-gt-730-902mhz-1gb-pci-express-2-0-hdmi-lp-9Q0M.html?src=3. Is this graphics card good for its price? Else can you tell me a good Nvidia graphics card that is <=55, please?

Thanks

What are you trying to play with that card?

For general use, that's a good card for the price. However, are you going to be playing games with that card for that amount of money? If so, I strongly advise against it. You will not be able to play any games with decent frame rates and should save up much more money.

Mainly Osu! and Minecraft. I want to run Osu! without lag spikes and Minecraft with 60+ fps

Minecraft is very badly optimized so with settings turned very down you will achieve 60 fps. On ultra in minecraft you won't get anywhere near it. As for Osu, it should run fine without any stuttering. Just out of curiosity, what processor do you currently have?

Intel Core i3-2120 is my processor, so I don't need anything else for this? I'm willing to go to £70 for a very good one. Thanks for the help guys.

I am looking at a new one now. Here is the site http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P3-3733-KR. The model is GeForce GT 730 2GB, will this run Minecraft 60fps+ and osu! without lag spikes? I also hope to record with dxtory or the program Fraps, the videos should be able to record well in at least 720p. Will this card be able to do it, also is this card in the Nvidia 600 series (I want to be able to use Shadowplay in Geforce experience)? Would really appreciate if somebody could answer this stream of questions.

No, you won't be able to record with that hardware unfortunately. You would have to get a new cpu, better gpu AND an extra hard drive/ solid state drive. If you want to do those things you need to save your money.

I can record fine with a Geforce GT 620 GPU and the current CPU. I just want something to play osu! and Minecraft with no noticeable frame lag/spikes.

That will play osu and minecraft fine.

 

[Hardc0re]

So the Geforce GT 620 GPU is a good one to pick to play Minecraft and osu! correct? Thanks for the help, really nooby and want to make sure before purchasing this.

Yup. It will be OKAY for the games you have listed. That's the keyword. I wouldn't try playing high end games on this pc though. So you just pick as best answer for who ever it was and that ends the thread. Have a nice day!

 

[Hardc0re]

Can you tell me some Nvidia card that is better than the GT 620 and ~£70, just realised that the GTX 770 is quite pricey.

EDIT: Is this worth its price http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/NVIDIA+GeForce/GeForce+GTX+750/EVGA+GTX+750+1GB+Nvidia+PCI+Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=59870&rqcType=c#rqc

Save your money

 

[Hardc0re]

For what am I saving my money?

 

[ImDaBaron]

A better card

Honestly I wouldn't waste my money on that card either. Like ImDaBaron said, save your money for a better card like a radeon r7 or r9.

Hardc0re, Looking at your needs , an amd R7 250X 1GB GDDR5 would be a fine choice for around £70 click link below

Btw this card is awesome for a low end card, see this video
