Question

Choosing a low buget GPU

Oct 11, 2013 6:46AM PDT

My GTX480 has recently passed on ( Rip ). However, I need to get my PC up and running pretty soon. I don't really need an upgrade but I need something able to run at the same speeds or better than that of the 480. I do game and do some rendering.

The catch: I need it for 200 or less.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt your going to get any better than that card at the 200 buck area.

Looks like equal to or slightly better than the 480.

If you have more bucks then the mix changes.
