Graphics card suggestion?

[GenialGiraffe]

I need a graphics card to pair with this (link). My budget is around $80, and I'll buy used unless the benefits of buying a new card are really that great.

You could probably find an R9 380 on /r/hardwareswap for $80 - $90

If you can't go for a R9 280/290 on eBay or something.

if you can stomach an extra $20-40 then you could get an rx 460

With a good overclock the chip won't hold back the graphic card, used 380 would be perfect if you can find it

With nothing else to go on besides you needing a GPU, i highly recommend a new fanless passively cooled GeForce 710.

Skylake can perform that well on integrated graphics, that's a waste of money.

Yah buy an used GTX 480 or GTX 560 Ti for the price of a brand new GT730 card and end up with higher performance.

Maybe his board (also not referenced) does not have integrated graphics... I've got nothing to go on other than the OP needs a GPU.

He linked that he got the G3258

so that's a CPU and a motherboard model?

Sorry abiut the limited info, here's my board. https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813130730

Used 390 or 600 series of nvidia cards

Regardless of CPU, there is basically zero reason why anybody would spend the same amount of money on a 710 over a 380

If i was going for a silent low power build that didn't require heaps of power, i can see PLENTY of good reasons to choose the 710 over the r9 380.

 

since @GenialGiraffe hasn't told anyone what's wanted out of this GPU, ...I mean this is a POORLY worded and, frankly so far poorly answered, topic.

You're not wrong, he didn't really give us anything to go off of.

For a silent build, you're spot on but who actually builds those

My only complaint is the gigantic power difference, a potato can render more frames than that

[Goldensapling]

A full list of things that work well that you could probably get for ~$80 : 

R9 380

R9 380x

R9 280x 

R9 290

R9 290x

GTX 780

GTX 770

The Radeon versions of the R9 cards

eBay, Craigslist, GPUShack, and /r/HardwareSwap are your friends

Sorry about no real guidance, it's for my friend and they were very vague
