    Hola all, Downloaded Civ 6 trial and was told I need to upgrade the graphics card

    Currently running a AMD AM3+ 970 4*DDR3 GBE LAN 4*USB3.0 ATX MOTHERBOARD with 16 GB memory.

    Not looking for anything mad as not sure if I would play Civ 6 that much anyways. Still play Civ 5 to death.

    So any recommendations appreciated.

    TIA,

    Al Morris.

    What is the rest of your spec? What is the current card?

    Processer is and fx300 with 2 GB NVIDIA cheapo card. Built this PC myself for Photoshop a good ways back. Don't really use PS anymore, mainly Civ 5 and the kids on Roblox.

    Probably worth getting something like a GTX1050, can get for €95 2nd hand here with 2 year warranty.

    Would run those sort of games at high/ultra.

    If you're looking to spend less something like a GTX750Ti can be had for about €60 on Adverts and would do the trick, though a good bit slower.
