This excludes most second hand ebay cards since their prices are not aligned on any base

 

Also, i'm positive you cannot get anything decent sub 40$, nothing with DirectX 11 support at least

[grimreeper132]

There aren't any good ones, and you can't really get many for under $40 from retailers only off ebay so it doesn't really suit your criteria either

 

if you go second hand you might get a GTX 750 or 750 ti within you budget

[emosun]

maybe like an old HD 6870 or something

the GTS450 is a card that is almost $40 or lower on ebay mostly all of the time

[The Tan Stallion]

you can get EVGA GeForce 210 Passive 1024 MB DDR3 which is pretty dumb, nothing else for 40$

Crossfire 5450s, anyone?

oh comon guys...

here i pulled 6870/6850 randomly out of my head but now it's starting to look like the actual answer lol.

if you bid you could do a 6870 or a 6850 for under 40 maybe.

gt 710 for just over 40

I was joking...you know that, right?

 

But for under $5, crossfired 5450s might actually be your best bet...

5450s are really crap, I pulled one out of my parent's old computer, it has the tiniest heatsink i've ever seen and it's from the year 2010

if any of you want it: just pay for the shipping and I'll send it to you for free (I live in the netherlands)

I’m not sure anything exists in that price range... a voodoo 5 is selling for more than that

If only I had some disposable income I’d build a retro gaming PC with a $500voodoo 5 card. I wanted one so badly as I was growing up

[Darkseth]

AMD HD 7870 / 7950 / 7970. Should be used at 40-50 bucks maybe? Still decently useable. And there should be many out there.

 

New: Forget it. Even the cheapest low-end cards should cost more.

[minervx]

none.  at that point, just stick with integrated graphics

[Connor Price]

You could POSSIBLY get something like a GTX 470/480 for 50 bucks. Maybe. But you'd need a good PSU and to ideally be living in a freezer so it doesn't melt itself.

No, seriously. HD 530 beats the GT 730.

buy yourself a AMD firepro w4300 and you would be all set.
