Suggest a GPU within 7k-8K

[Flash]

Long story short, i was using Sapphire AMD Radeon HD6670 since 2012, and it went sort of dead last week. Am getting artifacts within 5-10 minutes of using the system, and sometimes the display itself going blank - and the only option is to restart the system.



So that leaves me no choice, but to get a new GPU.
Please suggest AMD/nVidia GPU within 7k, based on my below config.

Check if you can find used GTX 950 or even 960 in that budget. If not, maybe new GT 1030 is your best bet.

GT 1030 will come in your budget.

 

[mohit9206]

Yes either 1030 under 6k or 1050 at 9k. There's nothing in between.

Thank you all.
How about GTX 750 Ti? Is it old?

GT 1030 performs between GTX 750 and 750Ti. So if you are getting a new 750Ti for under 7k don't buy 1030. 750Ti already is 3.5 years old and would probably be EOL next year.

Thanks. I will consider that. But this doesn't have VGA port.
Can I use this GPU via DVI-D to VGA converter with my monitor?

Since both the Monitor & GPU has female ports so you need DVI-I Male to VGA Male cable which is like this:CABLESETC DVI-I Digital+Analog Male 24+4+1 pin Cable to VGA 15pin Male PC graphics Card to LCD Plasma Projector With Nylon Braiding - Buy CABLESETC DVI-I Digital+Analog Male 24+4+1 pin Cable to VGA 15pin Male PC graphics Card to LCD Plasma Projector With Nylon Braiding Online at Low Price in India - Amazon.in

These days graphic cards don't have the the DVI-I port i.e. no analog pins.

So basically you'll have to buy an active converter. Since DisplayPort is getting popular these days, you can buy a DP to VGA converter. HDMI/DP/DVI-D to VGA converters are going to be a bit expensive as they do a digital to analog conversion.

 

[Nerevarine]

There are no passive "HDMI to VGA" converters, its never a direct conversion, using active conversion has a risk of reducing quality or refresh rate.
DVI-D can be converted because the connector comes with both digital and analog signals.

Increased budget upto 10K.
Any other GPU to consider, other than GTX 1050?

Well, a 1050Ti would be better but since your requirements aren't high, stick with 1030.

This post says, 550 performs lower than 1050.

A proper ranking involving recent performance analyses would show:

RX 550 - Baseline

RX 460 ~ 75-85% faster than RX 550

GTX 1050 ~ 80% faster than RX 550

RX 560 ~ 15-25% faster than RX 460

GTX 1050Ti ~ 25% faster than GTX 1050

If You don't want GT730, GT1030, GTX1050, RX550 which comes under 10k then what new GPU do you want?
