What Graphics card would be perfect just to use for around a week?

Citrusflavour01

My 3060 ti won't be arriving until another 2 weeks at least. Is there a really cheap nvidia GPU I can buy quickly and use for just 5-7 days until I get my 3060 ti? I don't care about re-sale value, I just want something to start my pc for the time-being. I don't care if I have to use a 1024 x 768 resolution on my 1440p monitor and if I experince lags.

 

I know I can buy a cheap GPU on ebay and recieve it within 7 days, and by the time I recieve the temporray GPU, I'll be letting go of my current one on the 27th. Sorry if I made it complicated. So basically by the time I receive the temp GPU, I will by then have one week until my 3060 ti comes.

Just look for the cheapest card you can find with a PCIE x16 slot and an HDMI output on eBay, marketplace etc. Buying new is nearly impossible. Do you maybe have a laptop or know someone who can just lend a computer to you for a week? Buying a card just to use your own computer for a week seems like a lot trouble.

Take the week and do something else. That way when you get your card your pumped up to use it and enjoy it that much more.

I agree with this. Go outside. It's only 5 to 7 days.

I would recommend a gt 710, it's dirt cheap (also crappy) but it will run fine enough. I agree with the previous comments though, take a break if you can and wait for your top tier gpu.
