10 Best Graphics Cards Under 400

God tier on all accounts buy it if you want a cheap card thats reliable and the price is good for the speed you get. Small enough for all mid towers. Fps is 100+ on almost every game on high settings

Actually amazing! I built a gaming computer for my mom and the moment she played on it she was in love with the graphics. The quality of the graphics are just amazing. The noise level is quiet it’s like you don’t know it’s even on. The performance is spot on! Speed is the best. The size is perfect for the gaming case and it was super easy to install!

Installed the ASUS Dual RTX 3050 6GB OC Edition in a budget-oriented build paired with a mid-range Intel CPU. Setup was straightforward, and the card powered up without any driver issues.For 1080p gaming, performance is solid in esports titles and lighter AAA games at medium to high settings. More demanding modern games may require adjusted settings, but overall frame rates remain playable. DLSS support helps improve performance in supported titles.The dual-fan design keeps temperatures controlled, and noise levels stay reasonable under load. Power consumption is also modest, making it suitable for builds that don’t require a high-wattage power supply.This card is best suited for entry-level gaming systems, office-to-gaming upgrades, or compact builds where efficiency and cost balance matter more than ultra-high settings.Overall, a dependable option for users targeting smooth 1080p performance without stepping into higher price tiers.

The card is great for my Ryzen 3 5300g(pretty old, and that’s my next upgrade), and the installation took 5 minutes. Temps are great, and it’s a major upgrade from a Nvidia GT 1030. You do not need an 8-pin connector or adapter. It’s fast, has great video quality, and is very sturdy. Highly recommended!

It’s not bad if you can grab it for around $130.00; with a curve I am at 950Mv @ 2040Mhz & + 121 on the memory. Works with Game Ready Drivers and regained 264 & HEVC Encode/Decode and 32-bit Physx for my older games along with giving me some more head room when running LM Studio with my RTX 5070 all for 48w.

Sabía lo que compraba y la instalación en lugar de una todavía más humilde y vetusta Quadro P620 se ha realizado sin problemas, he descargado sus controladores desde la página de Nvidia y a funcionar.Se nota la mejora respecto a la anterior y sirve para ese equipo dedicado a la fotografía, videos sencillos y música: mejora por la VRAM y el aumento de capacidades en edición fotográfica y buena independencia entre GPU y CPU, imprescindible para el tiempo real en audio.He temblado en estos días al leer algunas experiencias, y yo no se puede decir que sea afortunado (en este mes inicio vuelta al tratamiento por Mieloma, estoy a la espera de una operación de cataratas y he tenido que revivir ese equipo al que se le fue un disco Nvme, el de sistema, un disco secundario perdió el formato, se fue la gráfica y un módulo de memoria).Pero pedí el día tres y he recibido hoy, día siete desde Inglaterra, que no celebran la epifanía, vale; pero rapidez, bien embalado (en una caja con cierre magnético muy mona) y con la chapa trasera en formato Atx que no todo el mundo envía.El único problema es que te lo envían por UPS, y hay que olvidarse del seguimiento detallado de que el reparto está a siete o tres paradas, es más ha ladrado el perro y he pensado que no he llegado a abrir a un reparto, he llamado a ups y te dan un número de los que hay que pagar a 1,5 pavos el minuto con el hilo musical de espera.Voy a pedir que se me informe de lo que se envía a través de mensajería que no sea de Amazon, y ya veré si me conviene o no, desde luego, después de la tortura que he vivido para recibir una Fractal por Correos express (veinte días o más y mintiendo) no acepto nada que venga de esa empresa de malas artes.Para mí esta gente de Inglaterra, muy bien. Y estaba temblando también con el tema de aduanas actual por el Brexit.La gama ésta de rtx A400-A1000-A2000 y las superiores y en versiones Ada, muy consistente, no para jugar aunque hasta con la mía se puede si no se abusa de resoluciones altas, representaciones ultra realistas y velocidades de cuadro muy rápidas. Hay pruebas en Youtube

Very good GPU for budget pc builders. It could handle most of the game perfectly fine. Noise level is very quiet and perfect. It build quality is very strong. Graphics quality is good, could play most game in 1440p and 1080p. Overall review is 10/10, very good gpu.

Haven’t had the chance to install it yet still waiting on my motherboard but it looks amazing and if it’s anything like my 1060 from GeForce im sure I won’t be disappointed

Installed the GIGABYTE RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12GB in a mid-range gaming build and it performed exactly as expected. The triple-fan cooling design keeps temperatures under control even during extended gaming sessions, and noise levels stay reasonable under load.The 12GB of VRAM is a major advantage compared to some newer mid-range cards with less memory. It handles modern games at 1080p ultra settings comfortably and performs well at 1440p with optimized settings. For content creation tasks like light video editing or GPU-accelerated workloads, the extra VRAM also helps.Build quality feels solid, and installation was straightforward using a standard 8-pin power connector. No driver issues during setup, and stability has been consistent.If you’re building a balanced gaming system and want solid performance without jumping to higher-priced GPUs, this card still offers strong value — especially for users who benefit from the larger memory capacity.

So far so good. I have a 2015 Windows 10 build that was not able to handle anything new in the way of video games. Photoshop was was still doing a good job. The video card I had in the computer was not even the best card in 2015 by a long shot, Gigabyte GTX 960, which is usually in last place for modern video cards. The GTX three fan 960 was able to play every game I threw at it until I bought Death Stranding for my new Alienware gaming laptop with an RTX 3060, which ran the game quite well.I also use either a 65″ Samsung 240hz 4k TV, or a 32″ Dell 165hz 1440p model to view games. The newest game that sent the GTX 960 into a tailspin was Last of US Part One. This newer version is miles above the original Playstation version on PS3. I pulled the 960 out of the computer after going to the Device Mgr and removing the old drivers. OOPS, forgot to go to the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS to finish the job, and had to start all over again by putting the 960 back in the computer!! Rookie move, but I don’t do this for a living, and we get too excited about new stuff, right?I still long for the old days when these companies put start up discs in the box. I’m not even sure there was an instruction manual on how to get the thing installed. Even though the drivers were old, you could still get all the software that sent you to NVIDIA to update everything. WTS, it was a breeze going to NVIDIA and having them download and install the new drivers and software. I did a lot of research on this purchase. 1xxx and 2xxx NVIDIA versions had great specs, but were either used or refurbs, or the same price as a 3060. The GTX 960 was from a 2015 launch date. I was skipping the GTX generations of 1xxx, 2xxx, and going to the 3xxx series. Problems arise here by going to far beyond older motherboards and operating systems. The computer was already using DirectX 12, so that was good. I had 32 GB of RAM, and that was very good too. The main problem I saw was going from pcie 3.0 to pcie 4.0 with the RTX 3060. All the other versions after GTX 960 up to GTX 2xxx are on the pcie 3.0 standard. The RTX 3060 uses the newer pcie 4.0 version. Everything I read on the subject said that the RTX 3060 was in no way going to flood the 3.0 pcie port for some kind of bottlenecking. You will read tons of info talking about the dangers of bottlenecking . The next generation cards above are the RTX 4xxx and 5xxx use the 4.0 and 5.0 pcie versions, and that was too far for me to go with my old Windows 10. I tried to put Windows 11 upgrade on it, and Windows said NO way.Once I got everything installed and drivered up, I played some Tomb Raider Risiing on 4k Ultra settings. The game looks incredible and played fast. The benchmarks on the game were an average of 55fps in 4k. The real test was my new version of the Last of US Part one Remastered on Steam. The game was only playable at 1080p with GTX 960 installed. The RTX 3060 ran the new Last of US Part One game in 4k Ultra with it rendered in 2560.x1440p. I don’t exactly know how that works, but that is what the graphics settings auto loaded within certain VRAM limitations. Obviously with a newer computer running the latest CPUs, Mobos on 5.0 pcie, 64gb of RAM, and other new features, complete 4k wonderment might be possible? My old Windows 10 was using a very good i7-4790k Intel processor, which is still a very capable processor today. Intel processors are into 14xxx numbered units now, which is well beyond my 4xxx i7 processor. Competant gaming and computering can still be had with old equipment and updated upgrades. Eventually, what will kill this computer, like Windows Xp-7 will be Google not supporting it anymore. Steam games, same thing, once Google stops supporting it, you need to go to Windows 11 or 12 eventually.Bottomline, don’t toss out that old Windows 10 computer too fast. With a few well placed upgrades like this RTX 3060, yo can revive an older unit on life support. I have no doubt that this revived computer will be good for a few more years. One other item I forgot to mention earlier, I’m running a Samsung 870 EVO on the Windows 10, and other research is telling me that the Ray Tracing on RTX cards run a lot better on fast M.2 SSDs. I only have a 500gb SSD drive and don’t have enough extra space to add a newer game with all the massive GBs they come with. What is the immediate downside here, Last of US P1 takes an interminable amount of time to load from external storage. I had to load this game directly on my laptop to get a normal load time. So I ordered a new Samsung 990 M.2 on AMZ with lightspeed capability. Ray Tracing is very intense and needs fast storage to process all that wonderful lighting effects. So one upgrade can lead to other issues that need solving. My new 990 M.2 will be here soon for Ray Tracing goodness. Half Life 2 even has an RTX version that I’m dying to try out also. So far, the garaphics from Last of US Part 1 are literally blowing away whatever anyone ever saw on PS3 at 720p. The updated visuals are ridiculously better without Ray Tracing working to its optimum. Another note, my laptop got a new infusion of RAM to 32gb, and that also made the new game run better by a mile. Don’t be afraid to upgrade that old computer. There are some good prices for new computers though. If I notice anything earth shattering once I connect up the Samsung 990 I will try to update this review. For $200-$300 you can breathe a lot of new life into old computers.

This affordable little video card works amazing it does exactly what I needed to do. The games I play with it runs smooth and fast. Anyone asking about a video card to bring their systems up to a low end gaming platform I would suggest this every time.

Got it fast. Nice card new AMD R7-350 giving it a 4 star only because it isn’t windows 11 compatible I orded not realizing you can’t download AMD Software for this card you can only dowload drivers through Windows Update for windows 11.

I’ve had the GPU for about 6 months now and have had 0 problems. if your looking for a cheaper graphics card that’s also popular and good, this is definitely the one. I can easily get 240fps in any game, and graphics are overall amazing.

I’m running an old i9 9900 with a 2070 (got this about 6-7 years ago as a gift) that up until a few days ago, was running just fine until recent driver changes or just overall age. the old 2080 was just not having a good time playing titles like Division 2 or Helldivers 2. Everything else was decent, although it’d start dropping frames on Warframe as well.So, I dropped the game settings lower. Division 2 was fine after that, although after a week, it started having issues again.With Helldivers, it didn’t matter what settings I had it on. The old card just couldn’t handle it without going into full Lockheed assembly line levels of fan usage.Warframe’s frames (HA) were noticeably bad at this point.Sadly, the old 80 just started getting hot enough to smell like hot metal.But, as one would think, finding a new “old” video card can be rather expensive. Thankfully, this one came up with a pretty decent price. Well, a very GOOD price, truth be told. While the 3k series is on the chopping block soon from loss of driver support, this should be sufficient for my needs until I can afford a new system.Installation went about as well as it could be done. Although I would warn folks to make sure your old drivers are removed before doing this. If you know, you know.Pros: It’s quiet for the most part, even under load. Once it does reach a point that it can be heard (and it will), it’s not all that noticeable unless you’re listening for it. List price is good, and while I could have gotten it the same day, I had other things going on that needed to be taken care of.Cons: Well…it’s a 3k series. It’s old, and support should be winding down soon.So far, this one’s been taking everything I throw at it and just keeps chugging along. I’m content with this purchase.

This card was an upgrade from my 6GB GTX 1060. The 1060 was a great card, but this is worlds better. First off, I had an MSI OEM 1060, so this looks better in my custom build. The fans are so much quieter because the old card was blower style. I never have issues with overheating even when overclockd. I used to get about 30FPS in beamng low settings, now I get about 80FPS in Normal-Hifh.

The media could not be loaded. El envío fue bastante rápido además la caja llegó sin ningún tipo de daño y lo más importante la tarjeta gráfica funcionó sin ningún problema y rinde muy bien pudiendo jugar absolutamente a todo en 1080p con gráficos en alto a más de 120 fps y eso sin activar la generación de fotógrafas.Muy buena conpra

Do not purchase from this company unless you are completely sure this will work for you. Went to process a return and stated we will be charged a 25% restocking fee, which is an outrageous fee for something this expensive.

Terrible price, especially since the 4070 has dropped to 550, and a 4070 super fe is 599 at bestbuy
