Finding good gaming performance under $200 can be challenging. As you get toward the more value, lower-end GPU spectrum performance starts to fall off drastically at the higher resolutions. You are bound to the more common 1080p or even 720p for a good gaming experience. It’s just the sacrifice of saving a buck.

However, it doesn’t have to be gloomy down here, in fact with a good factory overclocked video card, and some overclocking potential it can even be quite fun for a hardware enthusiast.
