Affordable upgrade

Post by GamingGranddad »

My new PC has a 6150LE inside it.What's a budget video card that I can get to be a upgrade from the 6150LE?
My budget is tight right now.Because,of bills.I'am seeking a PCI-E x 16 card.Priced about $60-100.00

Heres my new PC:

I am assuming that you want to stay with NVidia, so unless someone on here can offer you a used card for less money and trying to stay within your budget constraints here's one that I found on ZipZoomFly with free shipping: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... ode=324611

You may want to checkout Newegg's OEM/OPEN BOX or REFURB section , as you can save about 50% .

Ive purchased quite a few OEM/OPEN BOX and referb's items over the years from the Egg without one single return to date .

Just another option for ya :)

this must be a joke. you said you are on tight budget and then you get an upper midrange card and after that another one which isn't even compatible to run in SLI. why would you get 2 different cards for 1 rig?
Main rig: NZXT Phantom modded case with Danger Den WC, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite, Ryzen 5800X @ stock, 32GB Patriot Viper DDR4 3200Mhz 16-18-18-36-1T, AMD RX 5700XT + AlphaCool WC, ACER Nitro XV2 27", SP 1TB nvme PCiE GEN3, Samsung 2TB; Cooler Master MW Gold 650W, Win10 Pro 64

Nice to hear that you got a break for once :P

Put the rest of the money (and the rig's) to good use!
