Unless your card doesn't support higher resolution or new video ports. No point spending for basic use. Even built-in graphics on CPUs today are more powerful. And RM300 gets you another low end card.

I thinking for it to cater in future use, but i know gpu is for gamer and im not.

Maybe some work that may require slightly better but of cos not mid range or above punya gpu

If you really have to get a better GPU but within same budget and not changing your mobo

either GT730 - Around RM300+ but then like what above suggest may not worth it or RX550

another option would be GTX1650 if you willing to spend closer to RM500+

u need to make sure PSU can supply of course

Which i5? If its i5-2400 or better. That iGPU also already more powerful than Geforce 210.

Nope. iGPU these days comes with CPU. But your CPU doesn't have it. Just get GT 710 or 730. Aisurix RX 580 8GB at RM382 comes with Displayport X2, HDMI x1

Wow thanks. I just learn new thing about Displayport. I thought HDMI is always latest.

I will do some research on these suggestion

I lost track of the GPu model like GT xxx GTX xxx

I once remember 25 years ago i thought XFX cost RM1k++ with a nice package of X shaped box

I can read. You already assume I didn't.

Also, clearly you never use iGPU from recent CPUs for work and browsing.

Searching your existing GT210. Its been dated badly having VGA, DVI, DP ports. For your current usage which port your using? Even low end GPU today have HDMI and DP, if yours using any of the legacy ports you will need a converter which may not be ideal.

If you want direct connect to GPU, your limited to GT730 or up to 1030 or Radeon equivalents, which is also quite ancient by today as iinm only GT1030 still has driver support from Nvidia but even then not much longer.

Frankly if your GT210 isnt dying and your usage didnt change which you still happy with, and your not changing to a new monitor which doesnt have your legacy ports, why want to change?
