Hello kkywannabe!

Upgrading your GPU within a price range of PHP 3,000 to PHP 5,000 can be a bit challenging, especially considering the costs of newer GPU models. However, you can still find some decent options that will offer a significant improvement over a 2GB GPU, especially if you're open to considering second-hand or older models. Here are a few suggestions:

1. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - This card typically has 4GB of VRAM, which is a step up from your current 2GB. It's good for light to moderate gaming and should handle 1080p gaming decently. Look for used options as new ones might stretch your budget.

2. AMD Radeon RX 560 - Another 4GB card, the RX 560 is comparable to the GTX 1050 Ti in performance. It supports DirectX 12 and Vulkan, and can also handle 1080p gaming at moderate settings. Again, second-hand might be the way to go within your budget.

3. NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 - If you're not heavily into gaming and need a GPU for general multimedia use, the GT 1030 could be a good budget option. It usually comes with 2GB GDDR5 memory, but it's a newer generation compared to other 2GB models.

4. Look for Second-Hand Deals - Platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Carousell, or local forums might have people selling their older GPUs as they upgrade. You can sometimes find good deals on models like the GTX 1060 3GB or even an AMD Radeon RX 570 if you're lucky.

Make sure to check the compatibility of the GPU with your existing system (power supply unit capacity, space in the case, etc.) and whether the GPU you're considering has been well-maintained if you're buying second-hand. Also, consider the warranty status and the return policy if buying used.

Lastly, prices can vary based on location and availability, so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on multiple sources and possibly extend your budget a bit if a slightly higher investment means a considerable upgrade in performance.
