Well, it get tough on that budget; you're not going to get a powerful card for that much. What games do you play at what resolution?

Also, you shouldn't look at video RAM as the primary spec for a card. Higher RAM helps but it's primarily the GPU itself (number/speed of cores) which drives performance. Actually, 2GB on an entry-level card is going to be essentially wasted.

The best card I could find for $50 is this:

I want to use it mostly for gaming. I already have an Nvidia (Geforce 8400gs) Card but its old and only 512 Mb graphics. Can you give me any suggestions of a 2gb graphics card in the same level of budget?

Thank you for that wonderful explanation and suggestions. I didn't know much about graphics cards. But you explained very well. I want to play games like Fifa 13, Gta4 etc...
