Which (not too expensive) graphics card please?

[Mel_P]

Hello,
I have a "spare" PC for the grandsons when they visit. It is:

intel quad core I5-6400 processor
Asus Z170-P motherboard
8GB DDR4 memory
SSD
on-board integrated graphics Intel HD530.

They play "Fortnite" and "Forsa".

I have a Nvidia graphics card (GeForce GT1030)that cost about £60 installed at the moment - not sure it is any better than on-board graphics.

What graphics card (available on OCUK) can I buy (e.g. up to ~£150) that would match the processor / motherboard please? They only visit every few months so not going to spend a lot!

Thanks, Mel

Well it's installed and Win 10 updated and driver updated to latest on web.

Will see what they think! Is there someting I can run to get a "test score"? Mel

Fortnite is free so could sign up an account and install that, whack all settings up to full and see how it runs

Ah but the trouble is being an old fogy I have no idea how to play Fortnite or how it should run! (let alone enter a competition to win £1m!).

Will try on of the others. Thanks, Mel

Resurrected.

I need another new graphics card of a similar quality as I have "stolen" the installed card (RX 570) for another PC. When I look for the AMD Radeon RX 570 it doesn't seem to exist any more. When I consulted OCUK via a web-note they recommended a replacement at ~ twice the price I paid for the 570. Is there a current equivalent for the RX 570 - at ~ price I paid please?

This is the system in question:

Intel quad core I5-6400 processor
Asus Z170-P motherboard
8GB DDR4 memory
SSD
On-board integrated graphics Intel HD530.

Suggestions to replace the integrated graphics please

Thanks, Mel

RX 580 in stock - £159.
RX 570 - no stock, obsolete - £148 I think some years ago.

i.e. not £50, not £200+.

What do you mean by "aided" ... please?

Maybe split the money so u can get another 8gb ram then rest with a gpu?

Unfortunately it's a cheepie board with only 2 memory slots so would need to ditch the 2 x 4gb and buy 2 x 8gb sticks.
