I'm looking for a GPU

LostyCraft

Good Morning To All,


So I am a college student and I built a system a little too late. I have everything in the computer except a GPU and you can figure as to why. 

If anyone is selling a GPU around MSRP I could use it. I not getting the best gaming experience just using the integrated graphics of the i9-10850k. I am at the point now where I will gpu a Nvidia GT 1030 if someone isn't going to scalp it.

 

Very Respectfully, 

Nathan Collier

Welcome to the forums!

Pretty sure the iGPU will actually run better than a 1030 so I don't quite recommend that. I'd recommend just waiting it out to find an MSRP 3070 or so. 

It doesn't, I get 12 fps on Destiny 2 and Ark can't run. Plus I'd rather have my CPU last longer when people start scalping CPU because it's coming. 128mb of vram can't run many games that I like to play. I can play games on Facebook and that's it.

OK, instead of buying a $100 GT 1030 I recommend buying a used Quadro k620 from ebay,

They are about $40 and offer the same performance.

Beggers can't be choosers, I guess I'm spending part of my budget that I have to work with. Thank you.

I have like a $700 budget to work with so that's why I asked here.

Yeah, I'd say buy a cheap card for now then get a slightly better card down the line.

I scored a GTX 980 for $250 a few months ago on eBay so sometimes deals like that will come along, I'd say just keep checking auction sites and that sort of thing

I looked and all the cards for me are 1k plus.

Yes, but you'll get a lower price for bidding. Have you tried sorting by price lowest-highest? Seriously, I do recommend a GTX 980 or something along those lines as a nice stop gap.

r/Hardwareswap is a good place to find decent deals. Ebay you either have to be lucky for bidding or pay scalper prices. With r/HWS you just have to keep checking.
