Hello, I am not very sure about which GPU to buy for my laptop as I am planning on buying an external PCI-E expasion card in order to boost my laptop's performance and lifespan (even though it has lasted longer than expected).
I have narrowed the decision down to two cards: either the Radeon HD 7770 2GB or the Nvidia GT 1030, but cannot decide, and I would strongly appreciate any help given. They both have around the same benchmark scores, the same memory and most other things aswell - and if the decision comes to the HD 7770, I have no issues in buying an external PSU to power it.
I am a budget user, and I render multimedia in the likes of Photoshop and Vegas Pro on my laptop with the integrated gaphics, and I sometimes play a few light games like CSGO, OMSI 2 and TF2, however, I do a lot of optimisation within the operating system and I am able to overclock and/or optimise if necessary.
I do understand, as I regularly use this forum, that GPU posts and questions may be slightly annoying now that there are so many, so I do apologise if it does become annoying.
My specs are:
i3-2310M
8GB LPDDR3 (upgraded from 4GB)
500GB HDD
Windows 10.
As I said, any sort of help is needed, even a one word solution, so I thank you for helping me decide between the two - I highly appreciate all participation.
