I have a worse graphics card than you. Try me.

Have you considered replacing it with something like a GT 1030?
It's still a shit card but they go for around £20 on ebay where I live while being literally 10 times faster than a GT 210.
It consumes the same amount of power as a GT 210 too so you should be able to swap them out without needing a new PSU.

there may not be enough space; even for a 1030, it also just might be waaaay too fucking old to accept a card with a newer gen connectivity. albeit might as well get a 1630 if he is gonna do that, it's a bit better


My recommendation is to literally buy a used office pc with at least an 8th gen i5 cpu, and stuff in a used 1650 or preferably a used rx 580 since it's easier to find compact versions of those. It'll cost you less than US$175 if you pick good deals and will run games at far better frames
If you're intimidated at building anything, just look up the guide for that specific office pc, and follow it perfectly and nothing will go wrong. You don't need to spend big bucks to make something that will play games and run photo editors



my reccomendation is a dell optiplex or lenovo thinkstation or something

I think it'd work fine, a 1030 is about the same size as a 210 and PCIe is fully backwards compatible so it should work in a PCIe 2 slot. (And there shouldn't be a performance hit since the GT 1030's memory isn't fast enough to saturate PCIe 2)
If he could find a good priced GTX 1630 then yeah it'd be better but they're much rarer than GT 1030s and whether his PC's PSU could handle it would be a gamble since it's 75W unlike the GT 210 and 1030 which are both 30W. And he'd probably be CPU bottlenecked at that point.

Your used office PC recommendation would obviously be much better and a better deal overall but he's already spent $100 on the PC and it'd only cost about $30 to throw a GT 1030 into it.

I'd imagine that a PC which came with a 15 year old gpu would also come with a 15 year old cpu. probably a core 2 duo or quad. maybe a 1st gen core i5. damn. That shit would be unbearable to me

If world of soyim has 200 bucks laying around, I would definitely go for the office pc build. Us budget ballers stay winning
evandoe my own PC has a 12600k and an rx 5700 (which I BIOS flashed into being xt)

I feel you ma nigga (was stuck phonefagging for years but was not aware of the usedmarketpill due to being young and unexperienced with the world and also retarded but then I found out that a shop near me sells thinkpads for cheap so I got myself a 8th gen intel one so now I have x86 freedom (even doe literal backdoor in intel and amd cpus) instead of being on CUCKdroid)

This
Hop on Facebook marketplace and search up laptops
You will get a gorillion results for slightly old, but still perfectly viable thinkpads for like 125-200 bucks. It's a great option if you want a cheap laptop instead of buying a brand new chromebook

NUCOMPUTERGOOBAGABAS WHAT IS THIS
Don't use that bullshit userbenchmark btw it's the most obvious pro-intel paid shill that it even tries to "disprove" it at the bottom of every page

Unbiased hardware comparisons

Our computer hardware comparisons assist you in making purchasing decisions.

Technical city far better and is totally unbiased. You can trust me, if you don't, just search up whether or not userbenchmark is biased or trustworthy

It may be backwards compatible but you lose any speed gain with the older IO being constraint

honestly, i'd go for a $600 build with an rx 6600 and a r5 5500. it plays most games at 1080p o algo
 
I admire your dedication to the low spec gaming as even a RX 580 is like $40 nowandays on ebay

I didn't even know that such GPU exists
It's really good considering the power draw

i keep telling that nigger to upgrade, the 210 was bad even back in 2009. I hate how soytechtubers say the 6400 is bad cuz muh performance. NIGGER IT'S AN LPGPU THE FUCK YOU EXPECT?
