GT 730 4GB DDR3 128-bit

I paid $55 6 months ago for a 2GB version

Great card for HTPC and even to play some games if you don't get to pretentious (720p, low-medium settings)

What do you need it for?

Even if you weren't getting it for gaming. I personally would save up and get a GTX 1050 for around $95. It's 5x stronger compared to the GT 730. Also HDMI 2.0 support for 4k HDR screens, while the GT 730 is not capable of this.

Or a RX 460 for $80 would be also a good choice.

I was also looking at a 1GB DDR5 graphics card, but my CPU probably won't be able to handle the clock speed. Still though I'm staring at that 4GB and 128-bits. I'm not sure if that width will allow me to use all that memory.

I'm running on a Intel duo Q9550 , not sure if changing to a xeon would be any different.

Get a used gtx 760 for 60-70 bucks instead

Now why the fuck would I do that?

You pretty much have close to the top in terms of power for the LGA775 socket. Upgrading to the top processor (Q9550) would show little benefit.

While a GTX 760 is great for $60, the gtx 1050 requires half the energy to power it up, which is safe to assume any normal desktop power supply can handle it.

If you go to the AMD side you can find a 7850, which is about as powerful as a ps4 for around the same price. I picked one up for my $300 toaster build three years ago and it still holds up

Its a neat entry level card bud
i picked up a gtx 770 for 100$ (AUD)
i plan on upgrading once i get other priorities out of the way
