Could anybody find me a 1GB DirectX 9.0c compliant card under $85 USD?

I live in Australia, so if somebody could help me find an Australian link that would be great. If not then I can just search up the card on Australian websites and look for the same model. I need this card to run in a dual boot windows XP config in order to run my old childhood games from the early 2000s with no graphical glitches.

Thank you.

I'd go for a http://cplonline.com.au/asus-gt-730-silent-graphic-card-2gb-gt730-sl-2gd3-brk.html
,assuming your motherboard has PCI-E connection.

As for AMD in that pricerange you could get a R7 240 but i'm personally a nvidia fan, as more AMD cards got returned broken at the company i worked than nvidia cards, and i have better experience with them overall.

The one i linked has no fan...

The one i linked has no fan, so it's quiet, i don't know how much you care about that, but you could get another version with fan, they're all in the 80-90 price range.

It will older games flawlessly, even newer games.

Thanks! Are you sure this card will run Dx 8.1 and 9.0 games? 100%?

Games always say (directx x.x or higher) and this card runs at Directx 12. So yes i'm pretty sure it will work, even though i can't give you a 100% guarantee, as i'm not a expert on the dx area, you could do some research online.

I have an R9 380 and it cant run the games WITHOUT graphical glitches and bugs. Of course it can run it. But if you want to be able to sneak past a spotlight in splinter cell you;re gonna need to see it for one.
