What would be a good $50 graphics card to use for a few months until newer cards come back in stock. Seems like all gtx 1060 and 1070s are sold out along with amd cards. I have 16gb ram and a Ryzen 1500x right now for my build. Just need a card to tide me over until all other cards are back in stock at MSRP.

Can't go wrong with a GTX660, like actually, check it out. I used one as a place holder until I got my actual card, ended up falling in love with it and still use it to this day. Ebay or craigslist will have some great deals on then. They fetch around 80NZD, so probably around 50 USD.

Found a GTX 550Ti for 37 shipped. R7 360 is about $80. I'll probably end up throwing it in my wife's home-work computer I built her (g4560, 4gb ram) after I get a RX 580 or GTX 1060 6gb

Get the 550 Ti.  The 740 isn't that much better.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
