Thanks for the advice. I grabbed a gtx 1070 off eBay for $70 all in. The listing says it has two bad HDMI ports, but that's fine because I only use one monitor. Thanks

I'm looking to upgrade the GPU in my desktop. I don't game anymore so the PC is more of a workstation. What I currently have is a reason 4850hd. It's old, but it wasn't when I bought it. I had two in x fire for a while but one died.

The biggest limitation I have is running fusion360 is terribly slow when parts get complicated or I have multiple designs open. It's bad enough the my Asus rog laptop is faster and smoother at running fusion than my desktop even though my desktop has a now powerful processor and way more RAM.

So what I'm looking for is something in the sub $100 range that's better than what I have and will be better for fusion. I realize thats a pretty wide margin, but that's all the stipulations I have. I'm completely open to second hand cards of off eBay as well. I know that sometimes yesterday's to end card is better than today's economy hardware.

Thanks

Second hand P620 or similar should be good. A new sub 100 card is hard to find, let alone of it should be any good.
