Hi all,
I recently bought a Dell system that has a Ryzen 7 1700 and an RX 570. I don’t game, just planning to use it for home use, watching movies, light photo editing, etc., but I plan to get a 27” 4K monitor (maybe 2K, but hopefully 4K). I plan on selling the 570 since it’s way more card then I need. So, I need to replace it, but not sure with what. I was thinking:
GT 1030 ~$60-70 (low profile or regular? Does it matter?)
RX 550 $90-100 (2Gb or 4Gb?)
GTX 1050 $115
GTX 770 ~$90 used
Would any of these work as well for my needs as the others? Should I get a newer card because of better technology, of just go by what has better benchmarks? Want it to last as long as possible. I’ve found some on eBay, but not a huge savings, and not much locally on Craigslist. I wasn’t sure which older cards would compare to these, and if they would be a better deal. So many models/numbers...
Thanks so much!
