So recently the vram of the gpu of my backup pc went bad.
it was a xfx 6800 gs, i want to replace that gpu with maybe a better gpu or a more modern similar gpu, maybe a card that can play gta iv @ low settings.

mobo: 1x pci-e x16 slot ( i know i know.. :*(
cpu: amd athlon 64 x2 @ 2ghz
psu: cx500m corsair

ty very much.

Well if you are building a new PC you might need more money. As far is graphic card is concerned if you increase you budget a little bit you could go for HD 5670 and if not HD 5450 would good for far cry 2 types of games. But I would strongly recommend 5670.

but my cpu is shit and the 5450 has passive cooling which will result in overheating in almost every game (as far as i know)

Reviews of what? your cpu or graphic card. I have a Core 2 Duo and i have played latest games with a graphic card that is s*** Geforce 210. With this graphic card I am suggesting you stretch a year while saving for a built. And believe me you need a year for a good pc built.

I am currently playing on Geforce 210 overclocked in SFF case which is more small than desktop. and this card is no compare to 6450 or you could try HD 6670 I am going this card too for playing Battlefield, Watch Dogs at lowest settings but atleast they will run but you have a Dual Core so you might want to upgrade to Quad Core atleast to play those games at minimum with that card. All in all try HD 6670.
