im pretty stupid when it comes to figuring out what cards are actually decent, and for what price, etc.

also, do these things even work? https://www.***ca/itm/for-NVIDIA-GTX970-Video-Graphics-Card-Game-Graphics-Card-192Bit-DVI-PC-HD-Video/132451048045?hash=item1ed6b29a6d:g:w0kAAOSwMK9aR0AG

but anyways, im trying to upgrade from a hd 7750. My budget is $150 CAD, looking to hopefully get something shipping from within canada, but if not its all good.

we need to know your psu wattage.
But the mobo should support it either way, as to whether or not you'll experience a bottle neck is totally dependant on your cpu.

Psu is being upgraded to a 650 regardless, got one for 15 bucks. , cpu is the i5 3570

no point right now even lowend cards are upped in value

There's plenty of points to upgrade ms debbie downer. For example, in the used market (which im looking at), theres an individual selling a 650 ti for 50 bucks, which i know is better than my card im just looking for the best noticible upgrade for my price range.

Here's a place to compare...

used market even has people upping the price cause of the shortage

you should save $25 and go for a 1050. it's %140 better than ur card and you should see good gains


but definitely keep an eye out for used

update, i found a used asus strix 950 for 125 CAD, so 100 bucks usd, not bad right? I bought that and got that cpu, just waiting on everything to arrive now.
