My PowerColor Radeon RX Series handled Fortnite just fine. I used the auto config setting and it cranked everything straight to max 😳
Thanks for the tip 👍

Head. Is this EVGA
PSU enough?

But let’s be real, that case is still on the smaller side. It says it can fit cards up to 250-300 mm long

Thanks. I’m leaning towards that used Sapphire card. Will it actually fit in my small case and on my motherboard?
I also need to see how Skyrim holds up once I crank the graphics settings. 😁

I'm looking to pick up a new GPU so my son can actually play Apex. It’s way more demanding than Minecraft. He can run Minecraft on the absolute lowest settings, but it looks terrible. As for Apex? It glitches so much it's basically unplayable.
The specs:
Dell micro tower
ASUS, s1150,
8GB DDR3 (2x4GB) Kingston, 1600MHz, CL9, HyperX, KHX1600C9D3B1K2
Intel Core i5 with Samsung SSD and XFX GPU
Intel Core i5 with Samsung SSD and XFX GPU
EVGA
Dell Monitor, 21inch 1920x1080
The PC is about 5 years old. I'm assuming he just needs a better graphics card.

I was planning to spend around $500 by a certain date, but I have zero clue what to look for. Is it even worth buying used right now, or should I go new? He won't be playing constantly anyway—he's capped at an hour a day.

Thanks for the help.
