Hi there,

I'm upgrading my Z68 system and looking at adding a cheap graphics card but I've been out of the loop for a while and have no idea of the prices of things and what's good/what's not.
I'm going to be running an i7-2600/2700 on an Asrock Z68 Pro3 motherboard and I'm looking for a cheap card (happy to go second hand) for around £50. I may do some very light gaming but the main use is for doing basic CAD work.

If anyone could recommend something or point me in the direction of some good reading material I would be very grateful!

Thank you

Sure you can't raise your funds a little? £50 won't get you much if anything...

I probably could raise a little yeah but I thought I could get something decent for around that price, no?

you should be able to pick gut a GTX 750ti for that price second hand from members market or maybe a certain auction site.

Hmm okay thank you, I've seen a HD 7950 in the MM for £60 at the moment, is that any good
would you say?

I suppose a better question might be: what graphics cards should I be looking at to run Fusion 360 smoothly?

The HD 7950 is significantly better, its about par with R9 280. If you are not gaming then maybe something like GTX 730 would be also possible.
