Best budget graphics card you can buy in 2017 to 2018
Hai guys this is Yedhukris from youandthis...before we start I just give you an advice to take a look at our services.....
The things I should be Mention you....
1.On the case of price if you are looking for gaming please don't go below 80 dollars which is 5100 Rupess.....because the other less that this can be called as display adapter for systems..which is very old.
2.Do pick carefully on AMD Gpu when you have an Intel Cpu! I mean carefully!
3.make sure you have a decent power supply unit(PSU)...because with our power no one will works...and also for a budget graphics card 600watts psu is a overkill..might be an overkill.
4. Don't compare graphics card with lower end cpu they works differently they donot care each other then why you are doing this to them?
5. Don't go to SLI or cross fire with any budget card....that will kill there performance...twice
6.Don't go higher than 1080 p with budget graphics card.
7. 4gb is better that 2gb vram
8.always choose higher memory type like ddr5 is better that ddr3 and gddr5 is better that ddr5 and don't compare It with your mother board supports like your ram which will be on ddr3 but a graphics card with gddr5 can work very well on that.

This card is a beast and is one of the latest releases from Nvidia in 1000 series. This is the fastest graphics card on this list. It’s the mini edition and has 3gb of gddr5 memory and is similar to the 1060 6gb edition. While the Rx 480 matches the performance of gtx 970, this one is near to the gtx 980 but as the Cuda cores and memory are cut out, it will perform slightly better than the gtx 970 and a little slower than the 980. So definitely it’s faster than the RX 480 4gb.
3gb of memory is enough for maxing out most of the settings at 1080p like details and shadows but textures in some games like middle earth shadow of Mordor require 6gb. So you can’t max out that setting. The core clocks are also massive. It easily reaches over 1800Mhz in games and provides an extra boost. This card is for 1080p 60 fps maxed out without any compromise and there shouldn’t be any reason for not getting it.
This one is shorter and can fit into any case, be it a Mini-ITX case or a mid-tower case. The heatsink is very basic just like the older generation and has one 90mm fan on it. The card has 6 pin power port and requires less power as compared to the previous generation cards. As the price of this card is just $200, I don’t think it will be a good choice to go for the RX 570 unless the RX 570 costs less than $180.
The RX 570 4gb is one of the Rx series cards which falls in between the RX 560 and RX 580. This card features 4gb of VRAM as well as 8gb of VRAM but the cost of that with 8gb VRAM right now goes up as high as the 4gb version of RX 580. So, this one makes a perfect graphics card for the money under $200* and makes a strong position in this list.($200 is its regular price but right now it’s over $250)
This card is not just an entry level card but actually, a solid 1080p card which can play all the games on ultra settings. Some games will not get you 60+fps maxed out settings but if you lower some settings down, I am sure you will be close to 60 without any problem. This card unlike the RX 560 is not weak as it seems in between the RX 560 and RX 580. It’s pretty close to the RX 580. It easily beats the Gtx 1050 ti and is very close to the previous version of RX series card which is RX 470.
With this card and you will get the latest technology, 100% DirectX 12 compatibility and a much lower power consuming device. Its memory interface is 256 bit which is double than that of RX 560 and features 2048 stream processors that are more than double the amount present in RX 560.
You can also get the Gigabyte’s Aorus GTX 570 4gb if you want to save $20
When you want to play the games at 1080p ultra settings, you can not compromise with the VRAM. It’s a fact that all the latest games like GTA V, the Witcher 3, Rise of the tomb raider etc. use more VRAM than simple games like CSGO or Overwatch. It makes more sense to go with a 4gb card if you don’t want to compromise with the graphics quality.
The GTX 1050 Ti is the successor of GTX 1050 and is 20% faster. Most of the specs are same but Cuda core, memory size, and clocks are different. But they are based on the same Pascal architecture and belong to the entry-level family. It’s a very good card for the price you pay as it’s an intermediate between gtx 1050 and Rx 470. Although Rx 470 is much faster but I feel that Nvidia has filled in the gap between the $110 and $170 price range by introducing a $130 card.
The EVGA SC edition is completely identical to the EVGA GTX 1050 and can be fit into any case. So for compact gaming PC’s these two are very good choices and will be best for budget gaming builds with a small mini-ITX case. As this is factory overclocked, you will get a small boost in performance as compared to the other brands like Zotac.
Gtx 1050 2gb is one of the best releases from Nvidia and is based on the Pascal architecture GP107. This is the most power efficient graphics card from Nvidia’s side and similar to the RX 460 it has a TDP of 75 watts and has no 6 pin or 8 pin power port. It means that there isn’t headroom for overclocking with this card. But as Gigabyte right now is the only brand which is the cheapest among all, it’s fairly a good deal.
With GPU boost you will still get a little performance boost which may not be very big but definitely, I agree with not providing these with extra power ports for overclocking as these are entry level cards and they won’t give you a boost from 40fps to 50 fps.
This card has 2gb of gddr5 memory, 640 Cuda cores which are equal to the gtx 750 ti maxwell family graphics card which is present in the same price. But when you compare the performance of GTX 1050 with that of GTX 750 ti, it not only beats it by up to 40% but also beats the more expensive one gtx 950 which shouldn’t be the priority of any gamer right now.
If you want a card that can play all the games on ultra settings at 1080p with 40-50 fps, then this is for you. And if you like 60 fps then you can put the settings to high instead of ultra and still enjoy good graphics with buttery smooth 60 fps.
It’s a 4gb version of the RX 560 above is almost equal to the GTX 1050. Although GTX 1050 beats it in some titles as most of the games use dx 11 but when it comes to the dx 12 gaming, it kills the GTX 1050 in games like Hitman and DOOM. But the most important thing is the 4gb VRAM which is essential for many games to max out at 1080p. Although it can not max out games but 4gb VRAM is good for future proofing. That’s how this AMD card has improved. This is gonna be the best graphics card for under $150 from AMD.
The card is very good for 1080p gaming on medium to high settings. Games like the Rise of tomb raider, Doom, Hitman are it’s favourite and coming soon games that will use Dx 12 will make the owners of this card happy. The 4gb version will cost around $130 which is right now high because of shortage. For budget gamers, this card is perfect for esports games like CSGO and Overwatch.
This card is very much power efficient and requires less than 75 watts to operate but still, it has got 1 six pin power connector. The card has a very good cooling heatsink and is much silent when both the fans are run at a speed around 50% which will still give enough cooling.
Rx 560 is the latest graphics card from AMD and is 100% DirectX 12 and Vulkan compatible. This card is an entry-level card which comes just above $100 and replaces all the previous cards from AMD as well as Nvidia in this price range. Previously I used the RX 460 on this list. But as that card isn’t available right now and the newer version is faster. The RX 560 is the king of graphics cards for $100 and competes directly with Nvidia’s GTX 1050. As AMD has increased its core clock and Stream processors, it will boost fps in games a little bit.
In games like Hitman and Doom, this Rx series cards including this one give a great boost in performance. The best thing about this card that the TDP is only 75 watts which mean it will draw mainly power from the PCIeX 16 slot itself and there isn’t any 6 pin or 8 pin power port on it as compared to the Gigabyte version of this card which is unavailable right now. As compared to the RX 460, the RX 460 had no power ports similar to it and consumed 75 watts, so you have a similarity in terms of power consumption.
The card has a basic aluminium heat sink and single fan cooler from MSI. It is not a big card but still looks great with white accents on black cover. It has 2gb of memory and a 128-bit memory interface which makes it as a good entry level budget graphics card for playing games at 1080p high settings. Almost all games will perform over 40 fps on high settings but games like CSGO and Overwatch will have no problem running on ultra settings with 60+ fps.
The things I should be Mention you....
look out notice:
2.Do pick carefully on AMD Gpu when you have an Intel Cpu! I mean carefully!
3.make sure you have a decent power supply unit(PSU)...because with our power no one will works...and also for a budget graphics card 600watts psu is a overkill..might be an overkill.
