Super cheap low profile graphics card?????

So i am looking for a super cheap (<$25), used graphics card on ebay and it needs to be low profile to fit in my optiplex 745 sff. The goal is to run csgo with at least minimum requirements. Any suggestions?

I'd use an iGPU at that point if you can

I highly doubt any graphics card below 25 will be able to run csgo even at the lowest settings. The graphics below $25 used barely have even 1gb of vram. Give it $50 and you could find a 550 ti or a 750 ti which will run csgo a low settings well.

And yes, if you cannot pay over $25, just run it off the integrated gpu because gpu performance is extremely low below $50. Those graphics cards are ancient and unsuitable.

reasons to have such a low end card, hardware video encoding (intel's IGP video encoding quality isnt exactly great compared to nvenc for example), more monitors or specific things like HDMI 2 or display port with bandwidths that IGP boards dont come with? some AMD and Intel doesnt have IGP even at the mid to low end especially AMD where IGP is dependent on chipset or if you have FM based socket.

 

It could be a server with no display, so perhaps a GPU could help from time to time.
