I need a basic cheaper GPU for my pc

Non gamer no heavy usage ... Just work and browsing only

Currently using GeForce210 for many years but itchy a bit feel wanna something better

New or used GPU also ok

budget less than 300 ... Because i google mine GeForce210, its like 50-60myr only right now

build-in vid card is good enough work and browsing...
if that is really what you are looking for

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.

read the question already can know.

his system now G210

want something better.

u guys suggest iGPU??

change CPU + Mobo + RAM??? RM300?

get any used GPU <3 years rm300....

Any other low end card that is better than my current ?

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

My cpu i5 and ram have 16gb

just have a quick thought of better gpu saja

around that budget. new or used also ok

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

what the real usage of your pc? if not game, or make video, no point need gpu, unless cpu no igpu

i5 what series? i5 2300 and i5 12400 also i5

Did I say buy a new cpu?

i'm still using the old gtx 1070... completely adequate for my daily use.
u may be able to get a second hand one for around 300rm.

Mine i5 is 10400f bought during covid when my ex-cpu crash, so change most major thing

psu is 650watt just bought 2 weeks ago cos it make hdd clicking noise

i might be making some editing like using canva or so

other than that routine is just browsing and research for idea to make money saja

Which i5? If its i5-2400 or better. That iGPU also already more powerful than Geforce 210.
Damn, this one doesn't have iGPU. Do you need more video ports?

Oh really

igpu comes with motherboard right?

Mine is gigabyte b460m ds3h v2

I still plug my lcd to my external 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

if don mind, GT1030 also can, able to stream 4k video
not sure still selling or not

i put that on my old i5 2300 few year ago, able to play some light game, and does not lagging playing high resolution video

i said , iGPU is not viable for his Case.

if you can read x2

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?

and what monitor you use, and got what port, don end up buy wrong gpu need extra convertor

No reason to upgrade really unless you have hardware problem.

If you watch youtube or streaming site a lot, then maybe you are looking for VP9 and AV1 decoding which could be done by even tiny CPU from Intel like the N series chip, N100, N200 or N305.

I want to recommend these tiny system to you but the CPU is not faster than your current 10400. I think if you really wanted AV1 support, then get a 11th gen CPU to upgrade your current one.

try find used rx6500 xt or rx5500 xt. or even rx570/580

Igpu + lossless gaming

I only use igpu to play AAA games

Would still stick with brand new GT730 if no reason to change anything else

Otherwise GT1030 would be around RM400+ brand new for 4gb vram can get

Can still use but not ideal as GT730 no longer has driver support meaning its ady obsoleted. If going to spend money anyways better to get something current imo.

Yup i also agree

but seems that ts is adamant to retain most of the components and does not want to increase budget

so i think this will have to do until then

I just did some research ...

Currently have Gt1030 as suggested, and GTX 950

May i know which is recommended?

if not into gaming, GT1030 (lower power usage, and confirm is DDR5, not to get DDR4) is newer, even GTX950 (higher power usage) is better in spec
oh ya, just check your PSU 650w...

Be mindful that GTX950 requires 6pin PCIE power from PSU while GT1030 looks like it no need additional power. Not all PSU has this (esp office PSU) so for compatibility sake go with GT1030 it will last you a bit longer.

I mean he has a 10th gen Intel CPU... surely there has to be a 6pin power connector PSU. If its the 2/3/4th gen Intel CPU then it could be different.

Besides I think GTX950 dont have 6pin... GTX960 could be different

Some Dell prebuild office PC dont have even if with 10Gen CPU...

I saw GTX950 from TPU database ada PCIE power...

If you're mainly using your PC for work and browsing, something like a GTX 1650 or an RX 550/560 would be a solid upgrade from the GeForce 210. I used to have a similar low-end card and upgrading to something in that range made a huge difference without going overboard on the price. With your budget, you should be able to find a decent used one. Just make sure to check the condition before buying, especially with used ones – you don’t want to end up with one that’s about to die on you!
