Hi guys! I need your advice. I know it looks like an obvious question, but for me the answer isn't such. I have an old PC, which I bought as an after-lease one. It is an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 which following configuration:
Now - I want to spend around 80$ for an used GPU, which will help me to play games fine (older games as Witcher 2 maxed out in 1080p). And in this price range here in my country I can buy cards like RX 5500 XT, GTX 1650 GDDR6, RX 580, GTX 1060. For pure perfomance I think both Radeons are the winners. BUT... well, the rest of the PC is pretty old and not gaming-tier. So the CPU will be a bottleneck. That's why I think maily about the first 2 cards. Powerful enough, very efficent, especially GeForce. Like a sweet spots for that config.
And here is my dilemma. 5500 XT seems to be a pure winner. Same money, more performance - easy choice over regular 1650. But I've read some topics which say that Radeons can have problems with old DX11 or even older games, that for this old CPU GeForce is better, less overhead, that AMD drivers are bad, that in general NVIDIA cards are better for other tasks not related with GPU. So my point is - looking at this config, what do you think? Is it really a truth? I want to have a seamless experience. Will my PC use the potential of RX 5500 over the GTX 1650? Or will they perform at the same level? If so, is this Turing card better suited for old games and won't suck in Warzone 2.0 also?
Would be grateful for your advices!
