Need a video card, anyone have one sitting around?

Post by Redfive »

I inherited an older PC that has 12 GB of RAM and a decent processor but the video card is only a GT 545.

I'd like to get a better card, but I have no idea about current hardware so I thought I'd see if anyone has a 1-2 year old card sitting around?

I have no idea what it would be worth but I'd be willing to discuss. I'd also be willing to gift something to you on STEAM if that would work.

I'd prefer 2GB of RAM but again, I have no idea if that is asking too much or not for a trade. I'm trusting you guys to make it fair.

Thanks!

As always, I will recommend the Tom's Hardware hierarchy chart for edification purposes.
You can use this hierarchy to compare the pricing between two cards, to see which one is a better deal, and also to determine if an upgrade is worthwhile. I don’t recommend upgrading your graphics card unless the replacement card is at least three tiers higher. Otherwise, the upgrade is somewhat parallel, and you may not even notice any worthwhile difference in performance.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
