Hi,

at the moment, you can't get any decent card for a reasonable price.
If AMD also is an option, you could try the AMD webstore. They sell their cards for the "normal" price.
Or you try to find a complete PC with your desired card in it, buy that and sell the rest of the hardware.

Last I check, AMD is generally a better space heater than Nvidia (case and PSU are small)
FS19 is Nvidia optimized (granted a card in the performance range Im looking at probably can brute force performance)
And I’m not sure if AMD has yet to figure out how to make a functional driver.
I hav found EVGA cards to be roughly at MSRP pricing, just the key is to find one (just like every overpriced card)

Thinking about buying a GT 1030 card to make the system usable while I attempt to acquire an actually good card and then either sell it or find a different PC to stick it into.
Any thoughts?

Well I think it is capable of running it, just might be at @DairyDeere graphics levels. So definitely something to think about.
Just $150.00 for a GT 1030, is a bit, well ridiculous even with a semiconductor shortage.

Hi,

both nVidia and AMD heat your space quite well in this performace area... You're getting around 200W, whether you choose a slightly faster 3070 or a 6700XT. The latter having 12GB of RAM, but a slower connection.
Also the drivers are similarly stable by now.

You could also get a used card, but the prices are also too high for the performance.
I got a AMD R9 270X 2GB for 60€ when FS19 launched, and it worked well, running the game at Very High in FullHD in 30fps.
I replaced it with a GTX960 4GB recently. The game runs a bit faster, but the loading times feel longer... But you don't get a 960 for a resonable price either.

It outperforms the minimum spec (GTX 650 I believe) and by far our performance my laptop which has ran FS19 with the settings bottomed out. Think it may be better than DairyDeere’s potato actually.
And my CPU is overkill so the GPU should have plenty of time to work.

Yeah, mid-2017. I ordered one when they launched to put in a small form factor machine. Avoid the slower DDR4 version which appeared recently. Overall performance around that of a GTX 750.

It'll play FS19 alright.

In my old PC rig, I have two NVIDIA 760 GTX working in tandem they are said to equal an Nvidia TITAN at the time but still can handle FS19 with ease.

Does FS even support SLI? A 760 isn’t absolutely terrible on its own. (I’m guessing a single 760 is doing the whole game)

If it is on its own, it is doing very well then because I had it on full setting, everything to the max.
