I would try to find a second hand 2xxx series Nvidia. Something like a RTX 2070. Prices have fallen in the USA, that being said I am not sure about india

If you're looking for something cheaper and relatively new (2019) a GTX 1650 brand new is around $215 USD I believe

It'll run games like
valorant (120+ fps high settings)
GTA v (60-80fps medium settings)
Far cry 6 (55-75 fps low settings)
Age of empires IV (70+fps medium settings)

I personally use a gtx 1650 and I find it quite good for the price

The purchase totally depends on your needs. TBH the card you mentioned is quite an old one..

No it is limited by PCIe 4x and does not work well on older motherboards.

I think the best affordable for your budget would be a GTX 1660 but I’m not sure about Indian prices. Try to get a GPU that has 6-8 GB if you can. The alternative are used cards like RX 5500 XT or RX 580, GTX 1060, 1070. RTX 2060.

you live in india check aliexpress for a i7 for your motherboard. almost any modern card will be loads better than your old card... 1050ti or better is about to be night and day for you.570/580/hell even an older card like 280x is gonna be magic.

gtx1060/70/1650gddr6 ... its all gonna be heaven for you.
