GPU recommendation for existing system?

Budget (including currency): consider it around 150-200 USD

Country: Indonesia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: some gaming, video editing, CAD

Other details: 

 

Existing computer's here.

 

Intel Xeon E3-1225 v2 3.2 GHz 4C/4T CPU

ASRock B75M Motherboard

Hynix 8 GB + Team Group 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM (will onto 16 GB for 1080p gaming later)

480 GB Pioneer APS-SL3 SATA SSD

1 TB Seagate 2.5" HDD

be quiet! System Power 9 500W PSU

Cooler Master T20 CPU Cooler

60Hz 1366x768 monitor, perhaps I'll get a 1080p 120-144Hz later on.

 

Well, I bought those months ago for the sake of my final project after my daily driver laptop died. To be honest? I don't know if this actually would run good for future use anymore (although, it runs pretty darn decent on my current use-case), especially on how game nowadays got darn-good graphics that old-school like those would just... Don't cut it.

 

Well, as what's above, it lacks on any decent-graphical power, I barely can run anything here. Since GPU price's getting lower nowadays (for finally, albeit not much but it's there), well, I plan to save some for this machine. Unfortunately, I really don't know what suits my PC currently not to bottleneck too much (it's expected until I upgrade the CPU later on anyway), yet still good enough to use if I'm upgrading this PC to more recent components later on, like on 7-8th Gen Intel or 2-3rd Gen AMD Ryzen, or perhaps much more newer later on if it suits.

 

No, I don't expect on too recent components like RTX or such on those budget, even a 1050Ti or RX 570 (I played on both of those, at least it's enough on me) would still amaze me. I asked here because simply I don't know what to choose, especially on 'future-proofing' on 1080p gaming. Currently I play (on my brother's PC lol) Forza Horizon 5, Dota 2, Cities Skylines, RDR2, perhaps later on I'd get Hitman series, Age of Empires 4, BeamNG, and other such games on the future like Hogwarts Legacy.

 

Well, after all of that, can you guys tell me the one you can recommend?

 

Thanks in advance.

Humor me, as you should do.

For the super cheap side I'd say go with a Quadro k620, if you want more power perhaps a K2200 or K4200 would be good for you. You could also go with the newer M2000 or P2000. A GeForce card would work as well but for video editing and cad as the only things you're doing, you may prefer a Quadro.

(AMD also has their pro series cards but those are newer thus more expensive used than an equivalent Quadro)

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

Unfortunately, secondhand prices on any workstation-level hardware here are simply... Too high. Can't even find a decent Optiplex with the good price. 

 

Any possibilities if it's on either GeForce GTX or Radeon?

Yeah definitely there are GTX cards that would work, any possibility of a 1650, RX 580 that kind of thing
