Looking for a list of cards that...

[Cheex18]

Don’t require a power cable and run off PCIE bus power only. I’m looking to toss a card in my little nephews computer so he has play games with my kids. I know the 750 TI is a decent option but what else is out there. Looking for cheap used cards as he may never really play. Any help I’d appreciate it.

1050Ti

A 750Ti used can usually be had for about 50 USD, that's just about as good as they come. I believe the GTX 950 doesn't require PCIe power as well but I'm not sure where those are at currently.

Pretty much any X50 or X50 Ti card and lower on the green side and X40 or lower on the red side.

The GT 1030 and 750 ti are roughly on-par. 

I think they mean price-wise.

Be careful here, it depends on the type of 950. I had the msi gaming version and it needed an extra 6pin pcie

Thanks people this is helpful. Any AMD cards you can suggest? I’m a green team fan myself but in this instinse I’m just looking for all options. 

 

Whats best bang bang for buck 750 TI? 1080/720 gaming and titles like sc:go, minecraft, fortnite nothing intense low/mid settings.

Well GTX 1050Ti is good way to more year play than GTX 750Ti.

But. 750TI is like $60-$70 CAD and a 1050TI is hundreds. It’s not about best card out these it’s about what the card needs to do and how little I need to spend to make that happen.

If you want to go budget, get a GT1030. If you don't care, get a GTX 1050Ti.

The 750Ti is cheaper than the 1030 and is slightly more powerful.

You can only find used 750Ti at this point.

Which is why you can find them at really low prices now. They shouldn't be affected by cryptocurrency mining, as I'm sure it isn't profitable.

Yes, they aren't profitable, although they may have been used for cyptocurrency mining before.

Thanks people. I got the 750TI for $50 and loving it. i try to buy used when i can if it's low end stuff i find it's the best bang for the buck and i tend to meet other enthusiasts and get to chat PC building. it's a win/win.
