Is the GT 730 the best gpu for my pc ?

[jakey]

so apparently the only cards that will fit my pc are single slot low profile pcie 2.0 cards, so out of all the cards that fit that description is the gt 730 the best ? ive seen some people recommend it in other peoples posts about similar systems but just want to double check before I buy one.

 

P.s. I know I should upgrade my whole pc or do some weird external gpu setup but no I'm not doing either, so no need to tell me to :-)

 

Forgot to say that I have a 220w psu so yeh....

I believe there are also 1050/1050ti lowe profile

And 750/750ti too

The lowest I would go is the RX 460 2GB, 1050 2GB or 1050Ti 4GB. Please don't get the 730 it's a waste of money.

I think the GT 730 is slower than the integrated graphics chip in AMD APU, or even slower than the intel HD 630...

 

I think the only reason they sell it is for you to use the extra ports at the back....

I don't recall single slot 460 tbh

Zotac 1050 Ti Mini works/fits great in almost every case. What's your case?

Looks sexy with that slim design

if there is no way around single slot low profile (short pcie bracket) cards, i recommend you change other things first.

 

from the owner of a GT640, these cards are not worth their money new, you get better performance per dollar buying a new case and a 750Ti than you get buying a 730 on its own.

They are all backwards compatible

may bottleneck his cpu considering he only gas a 220W psu, probably isnt the greatest.

What games are you planning on playing, if any?

[alca]

Could you list all of your current components?

They don't need extra power, they all run off PCIE power unless you get a factory overclocked one with a custom PCB.

csgo I get 35-40 fps with igpu on low settings so even if a card only gets me 60-70 fps that's x2 what I get now

Motherboards can't produce power out of nothing

then why does that link to a 460 say minimum psu required 400w then ?

The Gaming X is factory overclocked and has a custom PCB, so you'd expect  that to have an extra power connector for that however if you get one that has got no factory overclock and one without a custom PCB they don't need extra power.

Myb this will help in your quest

Buy the gt 730... Then burn it. Get a low profile rx 460 or gtx 1050

that gets 35fps on 1080p high, I'm getting 35fps on 720p low so would still be worth it
