Hello,

I have a bad Pc and i have integrated GPU on it, I want to buy eGPU and to play Fortnite, CSGO and other light games.

I have this components:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz

4GB DDR2 800MHz (2x2GB)

Which cheap gpu will you recommend witch can run these games in about 40-60FPS (720p)?

The CPU and RAM combo there is really showing its age, a GPU will improve it but those games are quite CPU intensive! Also I highly doubt that laptop has the ports / capability to support an external GPU?

It's a desktop PC, not a laptop. I know it's old.

Are you having a laptop or a desktop pc?

I wouldn't recommend getting a eGPU, they are usually too overpriced for the performance you would get from it.

Even to the point that you might even be able to buy a better laptop to suit your needs.

 

On the other hand if you have a desktop pc, you could just buy a GTX1050/ti or AMD equivalent and enjoy that 60 fps maybe even in 1080p

It's a desktop PC, I need cheaper GPU because I am getting new pc in July. Can GT730 run them in 720p?

Ahhh okay that makes more sense! When you say eGPU I alway think laptops ! Any I think that Ansuex is being a little hopeful with the 1080p 60fps, maybe in CSGO if you are very very lucky but as I say the RAM and CPU combo is going to really restrict you in this case to at max 720p 40fps at the lowest settings, especially with (god help me) Fortnite.

It will run them yes but not sure about 40-60fps, very lowest settings in CSGO you may get 40fps at 720p

I would also argue it being a bad investment.

I do not know what exactly what you're going to get in your new PC, but you could in any case just swap the new graphics card over.

Might aswell buy yourself a 2080ti now and upgrade the cpu/motherboard/ram later no matter how big of a bottleneck your current setup might be

I do think that any attempt to game on it will be a waste of money! And It doesn't matter what GPU u get even if u get a Titan its still always going to be limited by that CPU and the RAM! just wait till you get your new PC man

Thanks a lot guys!
