Hey, coming from my last post, it seems there are a lot of people who know their stuff.
I have a i7 2600, a GT 1030 and a 300W PSU. What's a low power GPU I could get that's actually decent (better than my current 1030)?
Thanks again,
Justin
Possible Bottleneck? New GPU?

This is solid advice assuming you have 8GB RAM. Will make a huge upgrade and only ~2-3% CPU bottleneck which is negligible as these aren't super reliable metrics.

What's your budget?
$100, can be off Gumtree or eBay, doesn't have to be new. I know. Weird.
You will be able to get a 1050ti off gumtree fo $100. I'd sell you mine if I was upgrading. Goes well for the price, even use the rift with it.
even use the rift with it.
1440p 80fps from 1050Ti ?
@dcep: No idea what fps but it plays games just fine. Son uses it mainly, but I play beatsaber and some robot killing game and it was ok.
Edit - just did superposition benchmark for be optimum, results - https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/268582/74964/img_20191…
Would actually do better with better cooling, it's throttling once it gets hot and I have it in a small case.
Also this is only a "normal 1050ti" without the additional power adaptor, so am limited on power it can actually pull.
Be careful of GTX 1050Ti's on ebay - if they are "new" probably fakes (BIOS hacked to look like 1050Ti)
consider a rx570 4gb
Literally uses 300w. Op has a 300w power supply.
1050ti. Probably just better to get one of the techfast deals though.
