Super Budget GPU

[pithball]

I am looking for a really cheap GPU, (under $50 CAD).

I don't care if its used or new, just needs to be working, I just want something that can play CSGO at 60fps 1600x900 at minimum settings.

I need the GPU to not use any power connectors and have a low tdp for my prebuilts 300w power supply.

how does it perform?

Wait save up for a week of so and get a cheap 750ti, they go for 65 usd and will work for at least a few more years

ok thanks

don't buy anything new at that price  because it's no better than integrated graphics.  Find something used!

used 750Ti or r7 360

here is a used 750 for 60us

 

plus if you just need csgo at 60fps integrated intel graphics can easily push 75 at fairly high settings

 

holy $hit the Canadian dollar is worth so little, last time i checked it was like 1.10 us

That won't play CSGO at any framerate

In my experience that isn't the case (I have one to test), we are talking 900p here

I will try my best to at least give OP a GT 730 GDDR5, because that's double the power or more (384 CUDA cores), as such way better value for money. Some can be found for $50 US or $70 CAD.

There is no such thing as GTX 710
Please do write the correct way to avoid confusing, GT 710 and this is one crappy card, I think that buying any used 500's series GTX a better deal.

I would definitely save up for a GT 730 GDDR5. You can find them starting at $70.

(note that the DDR3 versions of the GT 730 are nowhere near as good, they easily have 1/3 of the core count).

 

Or you could look for cheap used cards on the ballpark of an HD 6670.

Thank you for proving I'm right? lmao

 

*edit: @Faster_Speeding Oh don't worry, I know they are the same 700's family however saying get a GTX 710 to a "noob" will end up having him looking for something that doesn't exist which will be frustrating, nomenclature has its value, cheers!

I still don't really know what to get though, @faster_speeding recommends a GT 710, and than other says its bad, someone said a 730, then someone said a 6670.

I personally recommend an used GTX 550Ti / GTX 560 if you manage to find one that fits the budget, the performance will be superior to any GT card.

*Edit Sorry didn't remember you need one that requires no PCI-e power supply connector, ehhh that makes it tougher in the worst case scenario though the GT730 will "destroy" the GT710 if you go with that

Cheaper, faster, and new instead of refurb
