Upgrading graphics card 100 dollars.

Maceo_ · Feb 6, 2016

My specs:
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor
GFX Card: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
RAM:16

I'd like a new graphics card thats about 100-ish dollars that can run newer games like for example The division (Minimum settings the gfx card required to meet is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 with 2 GB VRAM)
Thanks

Maceo_ :

which r7 200 specifically do you have?

depending on model, a $100 video card would be weaker than what you have

could range from a crap 240 to a very decent 265

Im probably just going to not do it then.

My computer doesn't tell me which model i have :?

Maceo_ :

open the case and look at the card

Maceo_ · Feb 6, 2016

maxalge :

Well there is no name on the card its just you know computer parts?

maxalge · Feb 6, 2016

Maceo_ :

it will have a sticker on it with its specs:

Maceo_ · Feb 6, 2016

Alright sorry it took a bit was cleaning out some dust and the sticker was hard to read but it says
"R7-250A-CL R7 250A-CLF VE.1
CORE RADEON R7 250 1050M BOOST READY
2GB D3 LP HDMI DYI VGA
Made In China Void if Damaged"
Im just gonna guess its the RADEON R7 250

I googled it and its around 80 dolars usd. Ill raise by budget to 100-250

Edit: this is what i think might be good? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZGF3U2O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1LJUAAYJCQYY9&coliid=ISFY98QN4U3DV

Maceo_ :

that is barely faster than what you have already

this is a huge upgrade for not much more $

this is the best you can get for less than $250:

question is, is you power supply good enough to run them and you case is big enough to fit them.

make model and wattage of your power supply?

maxalge :

Im aware that my power supply cannot run it (current power supply is 350w) and that I need a 500w power supply
Ive already decided to go with this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Continuous-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0MFGNKKBZ4E81GP22BJG Is this capable of running this graphics card and a good choice?

(If your still wondering what mine is its RX350AS RAIDMAX)

edit: I just realized that this graphics card only needs 350W and thats exactly what I have so do I need/should upgrade?

for the gtx 950 you just need a good 450w with a 6-pin pcie cable

I would stay away from the b1, w1, g1 units from evga if possible.

this is a bit more, but the quality is a lot better:
