What GPU Should I Get?

[lukemcfc]

Hey there,

 

Look I know I have a ghetto amount of RAM and a ghetto GPU. I was thinking about a 1050Ti Low Profile Or 1050 Low Profile and an upgrade to 8GB RAM. I would not like to go down the AMD route. My budget is 200 in total for the extra RAM and GPU. It would be appreciated if you could leave a suggestion down below! Oh and the mobo only accepts low profile GPU's! I would like to be able to handle FIFA 18.

 

My PC

Lenovo ThinkCenter M82

Intel Core i5 3550

4GB DDR3 RAM

500GB HDD

AMD RADEON 7400 SERIES

 

MY CINEBENCH

OpenGL: 12 fps (in need of an upgrade)

CPU: 450cb (which is fine for me)

get the 1050ti

what do you mean by your motherboard only supports low profile gpus?

Sorry, it doesn't have space for a bigger GPU.

It only supports half slot cards. I'm guessing the PC is a slim factor design. But a there are half height 1050ti's a good example is the main card

Yeah, its my case, what GPU and RAM would you guys recommend. It is an SFF machine. All has to be under 200.

I would recommend the msi gtx 1050ti low profile cards. It should not be more than $160 and the extra 4gb of ram should be no more than $40. In theory you have the money and you might not have to spend all of too

Yeah you should be fine playing that game just fine. If I were to guess it would be at full detail level at 1080p and over 60fps. That game is not that demanding I think. What speed does your ram run at?

There is an image of CPU-Z down below!

There might be a slight issue, since your PC uses pretty slow ddr3 ram at 800mhz it is more expensive to buy 4gb of ram that runs at 800mhz. I would say buy 4gb of ram at like 1600mhz but I'm not sure if the computer will underclocked the ram and run it at the same speed as your other ram.

Okay, could you reccomend specific RAM? Like could you supply a link?
