looking for a graphics card for 1080p gaming probably moba and those recent battle royal shooters. currently monitor just a normal ips but might change to a 1080p 144hz monitor soon. the system is an old i5-2400 not changing yet so just finding something to plug the hole for now.

I missed that rx580 for $199 so looking for a card that's similar. IT fair does not seem to have any promotions or anything. am thinking of getting the sapphire nitro+ rx 580 4gb from amazon prime now for sgd $250 since it seems the closest and don't see any other offers around. Budget wise would like to stick around $250 plus minus any other recommendations on what card to get?

If you don't mind 2nd hand.
Gtx 1060 6gb - 200sgd
Rx 580 4/8gb - 150-200sgd

Can check carousell.

I would recommend that you upgrade your cpu as it will prob bottleneck your gpu performance

Theres basically just 2 cards to choose from, RX 580 and GTX1060 6GB.

Then if you really want to save and comfortable with it, you can buy second hand.

Suggest upgrade CPU before thinking about new monitor. No point if you cant even get enough frames to utilize the high refresh rate

Reading from the reviews and Q&A sections, this comes with 3 months local warranty and 1 year international warranty. After 3 months, you will have to ship the card overseas for RMA.

You can consider this:

which i used on a i2500k for 1080P gaming and most at high or ultra setting BF4 or COD:BO4.
