Susan Anderson77 said:I picked up a PC a few days ago, but I already realized I need a GPU upgrade. Right now I'm stuck with an AMD Radeon HD 7560 D, and the card I actually need is a 6570 since that's what works with my Dual Graphics setup. I checked eBay and Amazon, but they're all listed at $167, and I saw one on Craigslist for 320, but someone grabbed it first. Now I'm just hunting for a site or a shop where I can snag one for less than $167. As long as the site is legit and takes PayPal, I'm good. Thanks in advance 🙂.
Why the sudden upgrade? What kind of RAM are you running?
Dual Graphics isn't exactly a game-changer, honestly. If you're going to spend the money anyway, I guess it might be better to save up a bit longer and just grab a decent dedicated card.
PCI Express x16 refers to the slot size, while PCI Express 3.0 is all about the bandwidth. It might actually come in handy, especially since that card isn't exactly a powerhouse.

Wait, since when do Gigabyte cards come with three years of coverage?
So, here’s the deal: you should be fine to play without much trouble. But look, nobody’s got a crystal ball to predict exactly what the requirements for something like GTA 5 will look like. Who knows? Maybe it’ll turn out to be some unoptimized mess like GTA 4 and you won't even be able to run it...
You’re probably gonna need the 2GB version if you’re running anything higher than 1080p or if you’re rocking a multi-monitor setup.
The HD6570 is okay for games, but for that $167 you could probably snag an HD6670, which is a way better pick. Toss in another $5 or so and you can grab an HD6670 with GDDR5 memory:
Doesn't really matter, either one of those two should handle it just fine. The Corsair is modular and comes with an extra year of warranty, though I guess it does cost a bit more.
