Question Would a radeon r9-255 be good for gaming?

[JJunko64]

I am about to purchase a pc with an r9-255 2gb Ddr3, it comes with a core i5 2nd gen 3.1Ghz, the seller claims that it runs games like far cry 5 and tekken 7 at 60 fps but im unsure, could anyone help me out and tell me if it'll be worth to spend money on?

How much money?

What are the rest of the parts?
This is a decade old system.

"good for gaming", no.

A $120 system that actually runs? ehhh...OK.

What about an rx 560 2gb Ddr3? Would that do any better

How much of a difference if you just throw it with an optiplex 7010

You're talking about old and/or office level parts, trying to make a gaming system.

Tears will be the result.

you mean put an RX 560 into an Optiplex 7010?

depends on what games you want to play..

RX 560 is stronger than a GT 1030, but weaker than a 1050ti.

The backup pc on my sig is an Optiplex 7010 - there was a time it only had 8gb ddr3 ram and a GT 1030. Assuming you have a decent cpu, and at least 8 gb ddr3 ram.. the RX 560 should allow you to play popular games like Rocket League, Overwatch, and CSGO with no problem. Games like Tekken 7 would be fine as well. As long as you just play in 1080p or lower.

I now realize this thread is way back in July.
