Hello I'm SirJonjo and I'm looking for a affordable Graphics Card to go into my system, as I am currently running with AMD R7 Integrated graphics and a sad 50FPS on lowest settings. I know others are worse but I really want to boost this FPS without breaking my system or breaking the bank (money wise). Would anyone be kind enough to help me out with finding one :D https://imgur.com/a/31Wt7I2
How much are you planning to spend? A gtx 1060/rx 470-480 is a good budget GPU.
Just make sure you check your power supply to see if it can handle the card.
RX 550 or GT 1030 are super low budget. Both don't need an additional power cable and should work even with low watt PSU's. (250 - 300 Watts more than enough)
They will get you around 170 - 70 FPS in League, never lower than 70 FPS. I'm currently using a Sapphire RX 550 myself, due to the mining prices making many cards unaffordable when I built my new PC. For League only, the 2 GB GDDR5 RAM versions are more than enough.
Becareful with the GT 1030, as some versions come with GDDR4 RAM, do not get those under any circumstance, that's just nVidia ripping people off again. The GDDR5 version however is perfectly fine and performs just as well as the RX 550
If you plan on getting a GTX 1050 Ti, make sure it is the Ti version and that it has 4 GB GDDR5 RAM. It is the better card of all 3, however currently it has the worst price to performance balance of all, just because of how the mining boom f'd up all the card prices.
Get the 1050 Ti only if you plan on playing way more than just League / eSports type of games.
For LoL, Dota 2, Overwatch, Fortnite, etc. both, the RX 550 and GT 1030 are more than enough for at least stable 60 FPS at 1920x1080px and medium to maximum graphics settings.
If looking for something that should by a good upgrade but not break the bank you are basically left with either a GTX 1050 or look for a used GTX 970 or 980.
Not saying those are super great options but they are the options that seem to be closest to your requested price range.
If you only play league this should be enough to improve your FPS. IF trying to play some other games you might be wishing for more.
