RX460 would be a good option, expect 1080p 50FPS on Medium/High

Also consider R9 380 (a bit better)

It's a lot better, the only difference is with the 460 you get more VRAM, which doesn't really matter when the card is less powerful than a GTX 950.

If he is willing to go a little bit over budget he can get a 4gb one

Neither of those are good choices because they don't have DX12 support which is pretty important going into the future.

Ehhh what? They both have dx12 support. Even though gains aren't that big on GCN 1, a 7970 would still beat a 460

Well current NVIDIA cards DX12 support isn't great, the 680 will barely have true DX12 support, and the 7970 like the 680 won't have to the same degree support for DX12.

EDIT: and they're old power hungry and hot cards.

Im sick and tired of the crappy performance from my iGPU. Time for a real GPU!

 

I have a budget of $130. Whats the best Graphics card?

if you're in the US this is the best card you can buy new within your budget, it's slightly faster than the RX 460 and will work better with the i3-6100 because nvidia drivers are simply more efficient CPU wise:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487159&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

The card is 119$ with the rebate card...benchmark RX 460 vs GTX 950

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-950-vs-AMD-RX-460/3510vs3641

 

That said, in that price range i think you should consider shopping for a used graphics card, that way you could get even more performance for your money...the cards to look for would be:

Radeon HD7950/7970, R9 280/280X/285/380

GTX 680 or GTX 770

 

 

| CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v  |  Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING  |  CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 |
| GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC  |  RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz |
| Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 3 VR
