good GPU for under 80?

jdaniel 125 · Aug 29, 2016

so i need a new GPU for my build that wont bottleneck anything, my GT 730 GDDR5 is bottlenecking my CPU and it's just failing in all my games.

here are my specs

CPU: intel xeon x5460 OC'ed to 3.42 GHz
GPU: EVGA geforce GT 730 2 GB GDDR5
RAM: G.skill 8 GB DDR3
OS: windows 10 64-bit

the GPU must be under 80 dollars because im on a tight budget, and it would be helpful if it had 2 GB of VRAM instead of 1 GB. i tried looking on ebay for a radeon 7850 but all they had were 1 GB models, and i can't play GTA V with only 1 GB of VRAM.

First, is it American money or Canadian money?

80$ can't get you much and I don't recommend getting a used one but I will do a check on newegg for you and tell you if you should get a select one or one on eBay.

There isn't much on eBay at the moment.

Actually, it has been proven that most modern integrated graphics are better than less than $100 GPUs.
The best from what I think of (of the top of my head), I would suggest a cheap GTX 750 Ti.

Seeing as it's a Xeon, though, you'll need to buy a really weak GPU... You can't really play GTA V at decent FPS with less than $100 cards.
Like I said, though, a GTX 750 Ti or GTX 950 would be okay...

It looks like the cards on newegg are not any better than the card you got now.

You can spend double the money and like quintuple your performance with an AMD RX 4x0 card

At this point, I recommend you save up until you can get a decent card so you won't have to upgrade every year (or every month considering how cheap you want the card).

You're looking for an entry level gaming card, which you can't buy new for $80. They are usually $100+. So if you want to get what you need, you'll have to buy used, which I don't recommend. The one GPU I bought used had an issue with the fan making a lot of noise. But I'm sure that's not the case with every used GPU.

I know it's $10 over your budget, but I recommend this R7 360 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125847&cm_re=r7_360-_-14-125-847-_-Product
if you can't make the stretch for a new GTX 750 Ti, or RX 460. But only because it's on sale as $6 more and you can get a 750 Ti on sale. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125824&ignorebbr=1

See the R7 360 playing GTA 5 @ 1080p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apUndXTDi-0

Good luck, Dan. Hope it works well.

Also, could you select one of the answers as the best just so that the thread is concluded?
Doesn't have to mine, just anyone's.
