Hello all! Hope you all are doing good! I want to buy a non branded low end gaming pc, preferrably ill buy corei3 or core i5. The problem is that i dont know which GPU to buy with it? I want to run games like Call of Duty Advanced warfare, Arma, Tom clancy's rainbow six siege etc so im looking for a GPU that is GDDR5 and 2GB of VRAM supported. I currently Live in Karachi. The budget for the GPU is 12000 PKR but any suggestions will also be appreciated. Awaiting for help. Thank you!

Yes i was looking for both these cards and i'll try to buy them first because they both are 2gb ddr5 and 128 bit i think, so they are good

If you want only new and your budget is strictly 12k then I'm afraid GT 1030 and RX550 are your only choices. RX550 is generally faster but read some reviews to see which one performs better at games you like.

However, I would recommend you to increase your budget a little bit and get GTX 1050 at least.

You didn't mention anything about GPU being new, so as the guy above me also said, get RX 550 if your budget is very very tight. However, you might consider having a change of heart and increasing your budget by a lil bit to get a GTX 1050 which is better than both of these GPUs.

In used cards, you can search for GTX 960 2GB, it's a bit better card and could be have at around 12K.

I don't think anybody is selling used GTX 960 for 12k. I was looking for a used 960 for a relative and could not find any 960 even close to 12k.

Not eactly 12K. Something under 13K.
I got one recently the 4GB version at 15K :). If he is lucky he'll get at around 12-13K, the 2GB version.
Besides, OP has some other options, too, like 750Ti 2GB, 270x. However, his preference is new only.

@Nomad "If you want only new and your budget is strictly 12k then I'm afraid GT 1030 and RX550 are your only choices. RX550 is generally faster but read some reviews to see which one performs better at games you like."

GT 1030 is 64 bit and a bit low version for my games, RX550 seems like a good option but i want to know what is the difference between Gigabyte Radeon RX 550 and ASUS RX550? Are they the same just different manufacturers? What manufacturer is the authentic creator of this card? and what card should i be considering Gigabyte or Asus or AMD? Because they both are are different prices..

Thank you for your time!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
