Minimum graphics card for Fortnite?

[garrickmorley15]

Looking to set up Fortnite on my old desktop that has a i3 4130 processor. Currently it has no graphics card and can barely run the game. I just want to get a decent resolution (720 or higher) and low settings at around 60 fps. Anyone know a good cheap graphics card for this?


Update: Thanks everyone for the feedback, definitely appreciate it

I think with R7 250 1GB GDDR5 would make it playable 1080p med around 60fps.

I can test it out as i have it, but that tomorrow.

GTX 660 handles 1080p medium at around 60fps.
The GTX 650 or the R7 250 would probably be the minimum.

I think you would be ok with a GT 1030 as well, or if your ok with ebay pick up a used GTX 950 for around $50-60 or a GTX 960 80-90 both cheaper than the 1030 and should run fornite.

The better questions is what is your budget, that will be very helpful assisting you.

Per the following, an Nvidia 660 or an AMD 7870 are recommended; however, the minimums are obviously lower than that. Coincidentally, Tom's ran the following recently which may help you somewhat:

Well with tweaking you can get better result.

As part of bios of the GPU, i was modding it, now its stock running. Overclock only 50Mhz on core.
