Most newer games' minimum requirement is set at GTX1060 and above.

Though since your CPU is kind of outdated and will bottleneck anything as powerful as 1060 and beyond, I'll suggest you to go with basic low/mid setting card like 1050TI.

Though one warning, current pricings for GPU (even those cheapo entry cards) are too ridiculous to be worth buying, even those 2nd hand or old mining cards. If you happen to find one 1050TI around, it will likely cost more than RM650, and it's hell not worth for the price (at most I'll pay RM550 for it, and that's IF I'm despo).

Best investment ever was buying the nitro + rx580 8gb used for 600. Now its 2K. Gila babi that pricing.

Pretty much all cards inflated 1.5-2x  it's worth thanks to this GPU scarcity.

1060 which cost only 1k+ when it's launched 6 years ago is worth the same price in year 2021. During the previous mining crash, miner 1060 goes under RM500 each card...

2060 which cost under RM2k back then now pushed more than RM2k.

Now is the worst time to be in need of GPU. I rather invest in a PS or iGPU than buying into these scalping madness (though I cukur this allow me to let go my old 1060 without depreciation for a practically free ownership of past 6 years sweat.gif )
