Dell Optiplex 9010 - i7 and 16GB memory... Need "less expensive" video card for gaming. Any suggestions?
#1
I've acquired a well equipped Dell Optiplex 9010 w/ an i7 and 16GB of memory. Reloaded Windows 10 and put Fortnite on it for my son who wanted to "try" this on a Windows PC over the XBOX ONE. Frame Rate drops to crazy low. The video card is a AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series so pretty out of date. Our main outside IT guy helped me spec out of video card and some memory about a week ago for an older Optiplex with an i5 and 4GB of memory. I just don't want to ask him a second time for basically the same question but a better system. After he saw the specs of my other system he looked for "lower cost" upgrades that were lower power consumption. Here is what he suggested between $50-$100.

EVGA GT 710 2GB DDR3 64bit Single Slot, Low Profile 02G-P3-2713-KR

XFX Radeon R5 220 625MHz 2GB DDR3 Low Profile Ready HDMI DVI VGA PCI Express Graphics Card R5-220A-2QHR

Any suggestions on something "slightly" better? $100-$150
