Price range is anything up to around £100 really but ideally it'd be closer to £50 bc I need to save atm

Second hand preferred as I don't want to spend much. I don't really care about playing graphics intensive games at high settings for now, just need something that will (hopefully) last the GPU shortage.

Preferably AMD as my monitor is freesync, and something that can handle two monitors (or should I just plug the other into mobo? Idk)

I mostly play League with my gf so it needs to handle that and preferably at 60fps (low settings is fine), other than that the most graphics intensive games I'll probably play would be No Man's Sky, Dark Souls 3 but I don't mind much if it can't handle them.

The most important thing is that it can play games smoothly and will last at least a year or so. I don't know much about different GPUs as I only dip my head into that world when I want to upgrade.

All help is greatly appreciated, pls save me from the embarrassment of barely being able to play Terraria while my gf has a setup that slaps games around on ultra 1440p 144fps :(

    Price range is anything up to around £100 really but ideally it'd be closer to £50 bc I need to save atm (like... I could drop £250-300 on a new one but I'd rather just wait until prices are not so inflated, since replacing my current card with a used version of itself is currently 50% more expensive than when I got it new lmao)

    Might be getting a RX550 for £50 which seems alright, not a great card but it'll manage

    You can use YouTube to check footage of people paying games on certain hardware too

    Oh wow, there's a guy getting around 50FPS in DS3 from a RX550 and an i3 with half my RAM. This might be the one
