What's a good gaming graphics card for $50 and under that can run Overwatch and Grand Theft Auto 5

 

[ARICH5]

no such thing.

There are none really.
Save up $79 for an RX 460, that's the minimum you want to go for.

Of course there are cards They just draw a bit of power, but if you're okay with using a 6 pin power connector, you can get a 660 TI for about 50 USD. That will run Overwatch just fine, and should run GTA V at okay settings.

Can't really expect alot when you are on a budget, but i would say a 660 is better value for the money than a RX550

The 550 is awful.
However, the 660 Ti still holds up.
Could you link to this supposed $50 660 Ti?
Sounds like a good deal, I doubt it's new though, and used for $50 can get you better.

It might be a moot point. Without a decent CPU, no card is going to run GTA V well. Overwatch is a bit more forgiving in that area. Not many people looking at $50 videocards have capable CPUs.

Any CPU that isn't 10 years old will be fine.
Even then some chips can handle a GPU like the 1050/RX 460 just fine.

Well, the 660ti is not exactly 50 usd. I found one on Ebay for $65: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-660-Ti-2GB-Video-Card-/142418963961

But if you look on craigslist and stuff, i'm sure you would find someone with a similar card that you could get for 50.

Most CPUs will be fine as long as it's not a Celeron or some cheap office computer crap from 2008

Just save for an RX 460, practically performs the same as a 660 Ti.

Yeah i would save for an RX460, but i think he should go for the 660 ti if he can get it really cheap. I bought a 660 off someone for 15 once 😛 Put it in my brothers computer for him to play Minecraft and Overwatch
