Budget Graphics Card
Hi to the forum, I am on a very tight budget of £55 and would like to replace my graphics card. I have a short-list of the following,

1GB MSI GT 730 OC Edition, 28nm, 5000 MHz GDDR5, GPU 1006 MHz, 384 Cores, D-Sub
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361055888637?_trksid=p2055119...

EVGA 01G-P3-3731-KR - NVIDIA GT 730 902MHz 5000MHz 1GB 64-bit GDDR5
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351168124142?_trksid=p2055119...

MSI Nvidia GeForce GT630 Graphics Card 810MHz (4GB)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141415165024?_trksid=p2055119...

I am open to suggestions but cannot go over this budget, I do not mind a second hand card from ebay if it is better than theses........Any suggestions would be welcome.....Many thanks

If money is that tight, Yeah go for the the MSI we agreed upon. Later on your computer is definitely worthy of a better gpu, just a heads up

Hi,

If it's for gaming you need a bigger budget because those card won't handle modern gaming.

What's you computer and what games you want to play ?


This nearly caused a divorce as it is, i will be doing the washing up and! making her tea for weeks if i push my luck any more.
I know it is very low end but what can i do! I have not played games for many years but there is a game coming out soon that i would like to play called Star Citizen. Add to that my graphics card Hdmi sound is crackling very badly and i use it to watch YT and Netflicks.
Here is my current spec, it is home built.

Socket 942
Asus Motherboard M5A97 LE R2.0
AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor 3500
8GB DDR3 PC3-12800
Pcie NVIDIA GeForce 210

From the ones you listed, the GT 730 MSI one is what I would go for... Some people love EVGA tho :) 


Yes this is what i was thinking, the spec looks slightly higher.
