I was looking to purchase a new GPU for my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite SFF with a budget of £70 and I was wondering if the Gt 1030 Low Profile GPU will be a good purchase to partner with my  i5-2400?
I want to run Roblox, Fortnite and Valorant at 175fps minimum, so would that do the job by purchasing a new gpu for £70? (currently the pc specs I have stuggle to get 100fps)

Or could I purchase a better gpu that would perform better?

Thanks!

Looks like folks are getting an average of 50.7 FPS with an i5-2400 processor.

This would be a better performing card, but I don't think you can get one for 70 pounds.

Would the RX 550 Low Profile 4Gb fit in my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite Sff and perform well getting me 170fps+ in games such as Roblox, Fortnite and Valorant?

HP Recommended

It should fit.

 

The closest I can compare it to your PC's processor is this result.

 

Doesn't look very promising...but not a large population of results.

I would search the internet for some YouTube video card reviews.

 

This one for example was installed on a much newer PC than yours, so it may be comparing apples to oranges.

Could you recommend any good gpu that fits my pc for £70?

HP Recommended

I'd go with the GT 1030 or the RX 550 because either one of those will be much better than the on-board Intel graphics adapter.

I mean i am currently using a Radeon Hd 8350 GPU right now, and want to upgrade to a better graphics card. Would the GT 1030 run Roblox, Valorant and Fortnite at 150 fps+? Also how much times better is the Gt 1030 than the Hd 8350?

HP Recommended

Sorry,  but I have given you all the info I can.

 

Either of those cards would be considerably better than the HD 8350.

 

Another drawback of your PC is that the PCIe x16 slot is only Gen 2 0, so either card which are both PCIe 3.0 will not perform at their maximum speed from a Gen 2.0 slot.

Last question, would this fit in my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC?

Would it perform better than the GT 1030 or will it perform worse?

I was thinking about purchasing this over the GT 1030.

Would the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (11265-07-20G) fit in my Hp Compaq 8200 Elite SFF pc? And will it perform better than Gt 1030 and RX 550?
