What the title says. I can tolerate rather old cards that still constitute a decent upgrade, such as the better 20xx series or amd equivalents and what not. I will buy the proper psu to feed it before I actually buy the card.

If you plan on using you GPU at all currently don't buy Nvidia, the drivers are a mess and they've been blackmailing reviewers.

my nvidia gtx 960 (2015, closed driver, open is not complete) gets 35fps in counterstrike 2 and my amd hd 7750 (2012, open driver) too 35fps! xD fuck nvidia (linux bazzite)

Ahh I think that's what borked my system a few days ago. Corrupted postfix service and I had to spend an evening finding out how to re-install it and the driver, which I ended up having to reinstall twice.
