My GPU seems to be a little too outdated to be streaming and playing games on high settings while trying to maintain decent FPS. Currently I have a GTX 550ti but feel like it's way too outdated. The only problem with me upgrading my GPU is that I'm on a budget. What card could I upgrade to that would make the stream and the game itself look both visually appealing to me and the viewers?

What components and cooling do you have? overclocking might be an option for now while you wait for your shiny new card to come, also what CPU you running? sounds like that might be a bottleneck if youre going to buy an expensive GPU and still run the same system, might want to choose carefully so you dont waste money.

Id reccomend these for a cheap but awesome card:
HIS Radeon HD 7850 IceQ X Graphics card - 2 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM

however if youre willing to push it abit more id go for something like this:
ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2O-2GD5 Graphics card - 2 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM

Hope that helps
