Question What graphics card?

[sidneygwhipp]

Hello all,

I built a computer in January without a graphics card and haven’t stopped upgrading it since. Now I’m at a stage where I’m thinking with how high my specs are rising I need a graphics card.

Could somebody please link me to a graphics card which would be able to play...

Fortnite Battle Royale
CS:GO

I play other games but those are the main focuses.

I plan on buying GTA V In the future so maybe something that could run that aswell. Medium settings.

My current computer specifications are...

Ryzen 2200g 3.5Ghz
2x 4GB 2400Mhz DDR4 RAM
GIGABYTE AMX370-DS3H
500GB Hard Drive for games
120GB SSD for OS and small apps
512mb Intergrated Graphics

My budget is around £100 please let me know what I should get to run those games. Cheap as possible please.

Many Thanks,

Sidney.

New, the GTX 1050 2gb is available for your budget and would play those games on medium settings. You might be able to find a better GPU used but be careful for ones that were mined with or fake's.

Is there a different one maybe a bit cheaper (£75 cheaper?) that’s coming in at about £125

How about the GTX 710?

Old and worse then your iGPU!

The Vega 8 (iGPU on the 2200G) is actually really good so to get something better and worthwhile would need to be the GTX 1050 or better. Anything with less performance then the 1050 is going to be a waste of money.

OkAy Thanks, but how do I go about the FPS drops they drive me mad and I really am broke under 18 and I’m this world no one is really kind enough to spare me $10-30 but it’s understandable so i guess I will get the 1050 in about a year and a bits time.

Well for now overclock the CPU/iGPU to get the most from your system. Your memory is actually too slow for Ryzen and the money you have is better spent getting more/faster memory over getting a crappy GPU. Get this 2x8gb kit @3000mhz, install it and make sure it's running at the correct speed by enabling AXMP. The difference between 2400 & 3000/3200 can be up to 20 FPS. Sell your current kit.

But I have literally just got the crucial? How about a GTX 1030 2gb is that good for my needs?

It's a little bit better then the vega 8, it actually performs identically to the vega 11 iGPU on the 2400G. TBH I wouldn't get it.

What psu do you have?

You could probably get a card cheaper used off gumtree or ebay. Look at things like gtx 960 which can be had for cheap.
