Hi, I have a really cheap PC that my dad bought a few years ago. He's been using it for work and has now retired it. So I wanna slap on a GPU and use it for really low demanding old games.

After some research I picked these gpus (My budget is around 100 Dollars)

Gt 1030 (gddr5)-
Pros: Really cheap, Doesn't take alot of power.
Cons: bootycheeks

Rx 550-
Pros: Cheap, Better than 1030.
Cons: Worse than 580

Rx 580-
Pros: Best out of the three.
Cons: Takes alot of power and is the most expencive out of the three.

Also, I have some no name lenovo motherboard along with an 11 year old cpu (i forgot name). So is my gpu going to be compatable with these specs? If necessary I can go check the cpu model.

I think I'm gonna go with the rx 550 then

#

It's the perfect middle ground between the dooky 1030 and the power demanding expensive 580

#

But uhh

It's really not very good

#

Get a GTX 1060 or Rx 570 or 580 2048 SP

Nope, no rx 570's in stock but I found a gtx 1060 for 260 dollars! (I'm not buying that)

Are you looking used or new? Cause a used 1060 is like a 100

Since I'm gonna play really old games but I plan to use this PC for quite awhile

compact jewel
#

I'll look into it

#

And if I think I can do it then I'll take the rx 580

#

Thank you so much

If you get something that is bad today it will need to be replaced soon

Something like GTX 1060 or 1050 TI

Sorry for the late reply

#

I am getting the 8gb version

#

Also how much of my performance is tied to the cpu?

Games like CS2 and Valorant are more CPU heavy
