I've been meaning to upgrade for awhile now since mine can't run DX11 games and I want to play some DX11 games, so if I just get a cheap one will that work fine? I don't really care about the graphics per se so if it doesn't look great oh well, will the game still run properly though or is it likely to run slower with a cheap card? |
In modern PCs, and consoles the GPU is king.
However the current gen consoles (the base units anyway) are very weak.
Even the low end PC GPUs will get the job done, assuming they are modern.
How much are you looking to spend?
What games are you looking to play?
A RX 560 - 1050 - 1050Ti would be around the PS4 -XOne range.
A 1060 6GB would roughly equal a PS4 Pro.
A 1070 is about a XxX in output.
You can always drop settings, resolution and / or cap yourself at 30FPS if needed.
