Graphics card replacement for a 6 year old pc

Question

I bought my pc six years ago and now want to replace my graphcis card.

I'd like to play the upcoming games like Starfield and maybe The Elders Scrolls 6 with this new card. I'm looking for a product that costs around 300 euros and is compatible with the other pieces of my computer.

Here is my computer spec:

Graphics card : AMD Radeon 7850 HD 2 Go

Screen resolution: 1920 x 1080

Motherboard : ASUS H97M-E

Power supply: Antec Basiq 500 Watts

Processor: Intel i5 4690 3.5 GHz

RAM : 2 x 4 Go DDR3

Operating system : Windows 10

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You should take a look at the following graphics cards and decide which one is the best suited for you:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6G)
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

Or if you are an AMD kinda' person:

• AMD Radeon RX 570
• AMD Radeon RX 580

These are what I would recommend. Considering your i5 has only 4 cores and 4 threads, you won't get a lot of performance, there might even be a slight bottleneck if you opt for a higher end card from the list. I would however do just that, as if you later decide to upgrade the CPU & other parts when needed, you won't have to buy a new GPU again, these will be "decent" for 3-5 years.

Answer 2

Don't get confused. Go for

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

This would be best GPU for your configuration at $270
