nvidia Nvidia gt 630 or gt 710

[Pradeep]

I'm running low on budget and need to play games, I had a zotac NVidia gt 610 2gb ddr3 which got burnt last week, now I need to choose between gt 630 and gt 710 1gb. which card to buy.. and I don't mind overclocking it. Thank you

Do you have a budget? you could go used.

[Castdeath97]

Neither! Both are pretty awful for games, really you should completely avoid bottom end cards: 

 

 

To sum up:

1. Save up by using integrated graphics for a while if you can
2. Get used cards if you can

for around the same price you should be able to get a used GTX 660 or

Both are terrible. You have a few options though, buy a used 750Ti (better than a GT 1030) or look at brand new stuff like the RX 560 2GB, GTX 1050 2GB, RX 570 4GB or GTX 1050Ti 4GB.

those cards really arent gonna give you much...
just save up a bit more. with low end cards, their performance exponentially increases with only a small amount of money. also, but used. you can sometimes get lucky and find something like a 960 for under a hundred dollars.

Do you have an iGPU? Because it's probably better than either...

[manikyath]

from the owner of a GT640, neither, you're wasting your money.

 

as for overclocking.. good joke, there's nothing to overclock if there's barely any hardware there out the gates.

Mugging or burglary?
