Hi all, my GPU went dead after like 6 years of usage, so I am just planning to replace it for now since I only use it to watch youtube videos and play games like Dota 2 and Diablo 3.

I am hoping to get some recommendations here, my budget is about $150 and the motherboard I have the Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, would like to seek advice from the experts here! :)

553? Just buy cheaper brands like zotac/palit/Galax. No difference in gaming. At most better than 1-2fps?

Just get the zotac gt 1030. Only brand with longest 5 years warranty, suits your budget, can play diablo 3, dota 2 watch youtube. If no stock, palit or galax is good alternative as well although with a shorter 3 years warranty.

check out lazada media mart's listing, understand got 8% off for msi & galax branded gpu.

Frankly speaking i think 1060 6gb is too overpriced, $100 more over 3gb version? Also, you may wanna check out carousell for valued buy?

1070ti on PUBG low settings on 1040p can hit 144hz refresh rates. Go figure what you may need for PUBG on high settings if FPS is not a concern for you.

Diablo 3 and Dota will run will on GT 1030 for sure. If you can stretch your budget a little bit more, the GTX 1050 2GB is much better.

Just go for whichever is the cheapest because this is a low end card, and don't need any fancy cooling or overbuilt components on it.

Zotac is good for the warranty, but correct me if I am wrong, local warranty is only 2 years, and remaining 3 years will need to send back to Zotac directly for RMA?

That changed ever since 10 series gpu came out. Now all 5 years just send to tech dynamic.
