Hey guys i'm back again and this time I wanted to ask a few questions. I just recently bought a Optiplex 990 from a seller on Ebay since I saw that a lot of people were able to get a few mid-tier graphics cards working on it that my current mobo cant: Which is a Intel DQ67sw. The mobo is a MT from the Optiplex 990 and its just the board Im planning to swap out my ram and my cpu into it from before though with my graphics card I wanted to know which ones I can get. I plan on recording and I found out a bit early in the year that Nvidia has shadow play which I use to record some of my videos with no additional lag aside from it saving every now and then. I wanted to keep Nvidia for that reason though some people told me to go with Radeon since they have a similar mark up like Shadow play. I saw that the Optiplex could sustain a 960-1050 ti but nothing much else. I havent seen much Radeon side but I would like to know what Graphics cards I should get. Its still on its way but I wanted to see which ones i Should go for. I don't play AAA games aside from maybe a few old ones. I mostly play E-sports games and the works, though The absolute max i wanna go for in terms of range would be maybe high settings on Tomb raider just as a ended range.

This is the mobo i bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253476046886?_trksid=p2380057.m570.l6345&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI253476046886.N101.S1.R1.TR1&autorefresh=true

1050ti is probably good enough for you.

 

Don't bother with AMD since most of their cards are being hyper-inflated because mining.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
