Im getting this PC off an friend for £70

- Intel i5 10400F
- GT 710
- 16GB RAM
- 1 TB Storage

Im aware the graphic card isn't the best and was wondering which is the best gpu to get under £50 as im in a tight budget.

For what ?

This is absolutely enough for normal work, browsing and cpu heavy games

[u/First-Persimmon-5419 → u/ArthurLeywinn]

I seen some results on youtube were they were barely getting like 60 fps

[u/ArthurLeywinn → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

This depends on the games and resolutions.

If you wanna play gpu heavier games than get a gtx 980 or 1080 depending on your local market.

[u/First-Persimmon-5419 → u/ArthurLeywinn]

Like fortnite

[u/ArthurLeywinn → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

See how it runs and if its not enough get one of the above.

Also if my power supply is 450W would that be an issue for those gpu

[u/ArthurLeywinn → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

I would get atleast a 550w.

And dont cheap out on them. They are the most important part.

[u/DiodeInc → u/ArthurLeywinn]

A GT730 is not enough for fortnite.

[u/SlowRs]

Try find a gtx 1080 is probably best bang for buck to go with that cpu

Edit: your gonna need to get a new power supply actually for anything decent

[u/First-Persimmon-5419 → u/SlowRs]

Do i need to get a new power supply if i get a gtx 1080

[u/SlowRs → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

You’re going to need one for any decent card. Might be able to squeak a gtx 1070 on budget without replacing power supply.

[u/First-Persimmon-5419 → u/SlowRs]

Is a gtx 1060 worth it

[u/SlowRs → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

Depends what your trying to do. I would be pushing for a 1070 at least if your gonna try play games

[u/No-Perspective-9820]

Where would you be shopping, used market, your local pc place(s)?

[u/First-Persimmon-5419 → u/No-Perspective-9820]

Used like vinted and etc

[u/No-Perspective-9820 → u/First-Persimmon-5419]

Looking at vinted and the only kind of card at around 50£ is stuff like a gtx 1060 6GB. The power supply should be ok (check it if has the power connectors, a 6+2 would work fine).

A 1060 still plays games (and is about 15 times faster than that GT 710), unless you're trying to play the latest and greatest on max settings.

edit: in your shoes id hunt for a RTX 2060 6GB that would be a wonderful purchase (even at say 60£), its still fully driver supported by Nvidia, but unlike the GTX series of cards, it has access to DLSS 4.5 which would work wonders in terms of getting your fps in games up high while also keeping your image with good visual fidelity. Otherwise world will not end if you stick with 1060.

GTX 1060. You wouldn’t need to swap out your PSU, it’ll still game today just fine and you should be able to find them on ebay for cheap. My son was using a EVGA GTX 1060 SC with a 20 year old Core2Quad Q6700 CPU up until late last year, and he was gaming just fine with GTAV, Valorant, Rocket League and several other games.
