So I've got an AMD fx 4300. What graphics card should I get?

[ꑭCaliph of Hyperboreaꑭ]

i've recently ordered an AMD fx 4300 processor. what graphics card should i get along with it to run this game at atleast 50-60 fps? has to be under £80.

[Kleiner's final Form]

for 80$ i'll sell you a toaster, will work better than what you would actually get for that.

Depends on your motherboard and what it can fit, but you're gonna struggle to find a decent card at that budget. Maybe a GTX 1050 2GB, but only if you're lucky and can find one on sale.

TF2 is not really gpu intensive.

Lol. Why buy an fx in 2017?

Depends on what you want it for. If you plan on playing TF2 and don't mind the performance hit in other games you can get away with a 700-gen card without too much detriment. If you're looking to play other titles that don't run on Source I'd recommend getting a 900 or 1000 series (I'm not sure if 900 has been completely outdated yet, look at the prices and make your own decision). Even a 1050 would easily be good enough to never hit a bottleneck in this game, and would perform respectably on most titles provided you're willing to turn the textures down a little (I use a 1060 and on low settings I've never noticed screentear despite using a 144hz monitor).

It's a damn good upgrade from a i3 540.

I'd recommend an i5 6600k if you can afford it. Will produce fantastic framerates on any Source game, and won't bottleneck elsewhere. Excellent quality for an i5; what the i7 6700/7700 are based off.

This MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 did not cost no 80$
Dx90 2639 frames 14.186 seconds 186.03 fps ( 5.38 ms/f) 10.907 fps variability

Why would you get the FX-4300 over the FX-6300?

Yes
Your GPU does something in a game that runs on the Source engine

I ran a 144hz monitor with my old setup, which used a GT 440
Your GPU handles particle effects in TF2. That's literally it. Hence why the rest of the time I could churn out a consistent 200, but would bottleneck so hard I'd hit 50 if I looked at a medibeam.
And I STILL killed it as pocket scout

[Alexalmighty]

get a gt 1030 or a used 670 or higher

I would say a Navidia GTX 780 ti or up

Even though I don't have one I have heard its very good. If you'r wondering I have a gts 250(don't get it,it's not worth it)
