Cheap GFX upgrade

    I upgraded my whole system about 2yrs ago but left out the gfx card at the time because I didnt have the spare money and I don't need something powerfull for gaming as I don't game.

    The card is a ati x800xl from about 10yrs ago? It's been acting up a little lately, get a bit of artefact and and had a few bsod's when watching youtube and having a vid load up in the back ground so I think it's due replacement.

    I don't have much to spend (under 50 if possible), don't mind 2nd hand either. Few requirements I have are that it's silent, needs to be ok for photoshop/lightroom/autocad/revit, work under a linux distro, decent tv (and hdmi a bonus) and an "upgrade" to the x800xl, I think any recent card from the last few yrs will prob be an improvement?

    Looking at adverts I'm none the wiser as to what might be suitable :confused:
