I bought a used tower and now I am trying to run Adobe XD, but I can't download it because my GPU doesn't meet requirments. I need a GPU produced after 2014. My power supply is 320 W.

Any ideas on the best GPU for my situation?

Because your PC doesn't have a UEFI BIOS, which many of the graphics cards require that were made in the last few years.

 

No worries.

 

If that list of graphics cards you posted are what you need, then the AMD Radeon 6000 series is what the 6450 and 6570 are part of.

Hi:

 

The Radeon HD 6450 came out in 2011 or so.

 

I have the Radeon HD 6570 in my 8000 Elite CMT running on W10 Pro 64 bit.

 

It also came out around the same time.

 

Works great.

 

It was an optional card for the 8200 Elite CMT.

 

The Radeon HD 6570 is a more powerful card with a 128 bit graphics memory interface.

 

The HD 6450 has a 64 bit graphics memory interface.

 

The problem you may encounter trying to install a video card that came out in or after 2014 is the legacy BIOS the 8000 Elite has, may not support it.
