Hi

I'm looking for a low-end AMD graphics card for my backup rig. Just something cheap, should play TF2 at 20FPS on Low settings on 1080p. AMD is preferred. Thanks.

The chipset is AMD 760G with a Sempron 145. It has some problems rendering the Ubuntu desktop, actually.

I'm in Eastern Europe, I think that there would be some problems with shipping.

Sorry  I thought you were using Intel

But anything can run that at more than 60fps

Well, HD7640G needs medium-high settings to get there at 1366x768.

My GT6200SE did something like 40fps, and it's so old now that I had trouble finding drivers for it :S

 

Anything will run TF2 :)

Do you have a budget?

Well, my local store has 1 Gigabyte HD6450 left, but as I can only order stuff in September, I probably have to go for a Sapphire 5450, which is just a little more expensive.

300s were pretty much OEM-only 200s, I have a spare GT330 that I've been testing stuff with.

5450 or a 6450 whichever you are fine with, both cards can max tf2 out at medium settings, the 6450 can max the game(2xmsaa) on most maps over 60fps.
