GPU for intel core 2 quad q9400

jakemcgilroy · Mar 27, 2018

Hello , 3 years back i bought a prebuilt pc . As the title says i own an intel core 2 quad q9400 and i need a gpu to play some games (mostly league of legends and fortnite) but i don't know if the gpu is compatible with my pc . I would like to spend maximum 80€ .

Depends on make and model of pre built, (as it depends on the psu it has.. 180w or 240 or 300w ?)
for 80 quid you can get an GT 720, but it needs 300W PSu present.

The psu is 360W , is enough ? Also will i be able to hit at least 40 fps on medium - low with these specs(if you know)?

I think best option is 1030. Its around 85€ and should give you ~60 fps in lol.
But a gtx 770 or gtx 950 will have much better performance... if you want to get USED GPU.

Recommendations to league of legends is a NVidia GeForce 8800/AMD Radeon HD 5670 512MB RAM
Recommendations to fortnite is Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 1024MB RAM
The GT 720 isn't as powerful as the GTX660 or HD7870, but those cards needs 500W PSu, and you can only have something that handles 300W.

in your case for 80 Quid... and 300W I suggest the GT 1030 instead, its got 2GB ram, and should handle those games easily as 1080p
search youtube.com for the GT 1030 and the name, of your game to see results.

Alright , my concern is if the GT 1030 will be compatible with my motherboard ( i don't know which model is ).

I would get a half decent 500w psu and a used gtx 660/660 ti.
