Best Graphics card on budget

Anastasia_3 · Feb 1, 2017

I'm looking for the best graphics card geared toward gaming for around $200-$250. Any suggestion? I care more about performance than Insane Graphics (But of course graphics are nice)

More info please - What are the rest of your PC's components including PSU and what resolution will you be gaming at?

1680x1050, OptiPlex 990, Windows 10 Home, i7-2600 CPU @3.4ghz, 8 GB Ram, Running 64 Bit, PSU I'm going to upgrade to fit card.

PCI-e 16x Connector(SLOT1)

You have quite a range in that price bracket:

AMD wise the RX 480 is the top card currently but would be overkill for your chosen resolution so perhaps the RX 470 is better suited. On the Nvidia side the GTX 1060 is a great card for the price...

After some research my computer has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 not a PCI Express 3.0 x16, would it still work? If not any other suggestions?

It will still work. If you get a 470 you'll have great performance at 1680x1050 and still have almost as good performance at 1080p if you upgrade your monitor someday. A 480 or 1060 will do better at 1440p, if you think you might go that way someday.
