Hello forum members,
I'm new to the whole GPU market stuff, and need some help on looking for a GPU that can fit a micro ATX well, but is also cheap enough and performs well enough to run things like... Hmm, example, a somewhat modded low to medium graphic Fallout 4. (Though not the kind of thing I'd play, but that's somewhat the target)
I'm pretty tight on budget at the moment which is why the budget requirement.
The borderline requirements I'd need for such kind of GPU would be:
- Size enough to fit (or leave some space) in a 30cm x 17cm x 35cm case (11.8 x 6.7 x 13.8ish) [Note: It's an Alcatroz Azzura Neo V]
- Preferably more than 2GB, either 4GB or 8GB. Though if none else, 2GB is fine
- Price below equivalent of US$150 (much better if below US$120) either new, new old-stock, or (normal condition) used. I live in Asia, so reference for price might differ
- Can be coupled to a PSU capable of 500W (or better, less) with relatively no problem. Maximum usage that doesn't exceed that and regular usage that doesn't eat too much. Not really gonna overclock it anyway.
- Low to no overheating issues on extended period of use (good cooling on it's own, either single or dual fan)
- lord almighty does Windows 7 matter in the choosing process? And manageable driver installation
- Reliable (good reliability usage review, lasts long, or in general good enough build quality to not crumple apart when being pushed near the limit just for a second)
- Relatively ok noise output level (though if it's quieter it'd be better, of course)
Not sure what other specs I'd need to be concerned about on that except for DDR type (which for some reason I can't find on my PC? Might need help identifying that too since I've tried so many ways from the internet that doesn't work)
Any help's appreciated!
