Most powerful gpu that can run skyrim under $200

I want a decently powerful gpu to run skyrim at 1080p at atleast 30 hz that is under $200.

This R9 380X is on a promo right now for $200.99, otherwise, your best bet is a 4 GB 380.

are those dx9 gpu's?

agunal5972 :

Ofcourse not

DX9 GPUs are long dead. And these are DX12. But DX is backwards compatible, so Skyrim will run flawlessly

Are you sure, because from what I've heard, skyrim will put up an error message saying that it needs a directx 9 gpu

agunal5972 :

100%. That error message will show only if you have an older GPU(as in DX8).
This in not a matter of debate: DX is backwards compatible. Period.
