for $15 search for deals like r7 270, 280x, gtx950

I don’t have time to order it

 

If you don't have the time to search for used deals on GPUs, then that $15 GT710 is likely your best upgrade for now until you can save up to get something better.

That is my goal. I’m planning on asking for a new psu and a 1650 for Christmas. But I needed a cheap card before school starts in a few days so I couldn’t order anything 

What PSU is your system currently running off?

with $15 i think i saw deals for amd 7770, 6950

If you're running on a really old system with a weak PSU and terrible integrated graphics, a GT 710 for $15 USD is definitely a good way to get a little bit more use out of the system.

 

 

Preferably the card would have 2GB of GDDR5, although unless you are running at relatively high settings on games or working with complex models or rendering projects it should be fine, and seems like a really good deal at $15 USD, for me it would cost $50 USD to buy where I am.

 

If you're saving up in the long term, Nvidia could launch some new cards as well with better performance for the cost.

Wow $50. Didn’t the card launch at 35. And no I play at all low. I’d prefer decent detail with high FPS than high detail with low FPS. And anything I do in blender isn’t very big.

It’s is an antac basiq 430 watt 80 plus certified.

It may be worth taking a look at local used markets or eBay for used GPUs, although keep in mind that it may take some time/effort and modern operating systems may have driver compatibility issues.

Unfortunately, it's pretty much Best Buy being the only computer hardware store nearby me and the increasing demand for the GT710 has caused their prices to increase from launch.

Yeah, then you'll probably want that PSU upgrade to go along with a more power-hungry card.

The performance increase you might get from going to a 710 is negligible. I'd save some money for a better card.

hey could you look at my last post it looks like my motherboard has only 1 fan header and that one is labelled for cpu

Oh Best Buy. In my area they have higher prices than a lot of places too. But I just got lucky and found that The Office Depot near me has a 710.

Hi my current pc had 10 gb of ddr3 at 1333 a core I5 3450 and a gt 430. In csgo I can get 144+ FPS at 720p low settings. I was wondering about what the performance jump would be to a gt 710

the 710 would be a marginal improvement (like... 10-20% ish?)

for $15 i reckon it's better than 3 packs of gum, no harm getting it if other options arent available

 

your cpu could handle way more gpu horsepower, though

 

personally i would save up for a 750Ti or something better, but if you dont wanna wait that's fine too

I’d like to but I have to have something by Monday and I was putting that 710 in my personal rig so the 430 could go in a cheap pc I’ve setup for school
