What, specifically, are you looking at achieve?

Pointless "4GB" variants exist, of cards that can barely utilize 2GB.

From a HD7750, you could upgrade to used cards like a GTX760 or 950 (both 2GB) cards and still see sizeable performance gains.

For the budget though, you should be able to step up to a 1050TI. Not only is it a substantial upgrade, it also happens to have 4GB VRAM.

Knowing the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor would be helpful as well.

Most of the time, if the info isn't given, we tend to assume 1920x1080@60Hz.

I find it very useful to have some way to compare graphics cards. Is a 1060 that much better than a 1050Ti? In general I just want the most graphics for the least money.

I use this web page:

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

Using it, I can get a number and compare it to another number. I don't worry too much about 2gb vs 4gb because I'm at 1920x1080 resolution. If I had a much higher resolution monitor I might need to... but I probably would just wish I had the money for the card that actually would work well at that resolution.

In general the baseline goes:

1050Ti is good enough for 1920x1080
1060 is very good for 1920x1080
1070 is very good for higher than that AND good enough for 4k
1080 is very good for 4k
Higher than that I can't afford!

And if I'm comparing AMD's versions, I just compare the passmark numbers.

I think pretty good advice is buy the card with the highest passmark number you can afford!

There's also this:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

Modern cards on top, with a large chart further down combining modern and legacy cards in a performance hierarchy.

I wouldn't necessarily go by passmark scores.

That said, I also wouldn't recommend buying the card with the highest passmark numbers they could afford. For example, what if they're using (and sticking with) a 1280x720 monitor? Then even a 1050Ti is overkill, and maybe going with a 1050 is great for their performance needs.
