So I just started playing MHW last night, and it seems to run smoothly on my setup, but I don't have enough VRAM to run it in anything but Low graphics mode. I assume setting it to Medium or higher will make the world explode? I have 2GB of VRAM, and Medium+ seems to require 3+.
Anyway, I'm wondering if upgrading only my GPU would help with this, or if doing so might cause the rest of my system to be a bottleneck.
Also, I'm thinking instead of doing a big, expensive upgrade (I usually upgrade all parts at once), I could just find a cheaper GPU that's maybe a year or two old. Would that work, or is the game too new for this?
Any suggestions on a card? I'm thinking maybe something in the $50 range, just to see if this will improve the graphics. Not sure if I'm aiming too low here though.
Thanks!

Edit: LOL. Okay, I'm browsing GPUs on Amazon, and the $50 thing is looking ridiculous now. Perhaps $200 is the lowest! But the question remains, even if I do this (something in the 1050-1060 series), will the rest of my system be a problem?
