Is €250 enough for a decent gaming GPU in 2026?
Yes, for esports and older titles at 1080p — expect to keep settings at medium and turn upscaling on for anything more demanding. It's a realistic budget-build starting point rather than a card for maxed-out AAA gaming.
What VRAM should I look for at this price?
6–8GB is typical at €250. It's enough for 1080p in most current titles, though you may need to dial back texture settings in the heaviest recent releases.
