I purchased this unit for home, and I wanted to know what cost effective card would best improve the performance?
I do not play 3D games, but I do use Revit, sketchup, and blender for 3D

I was hoping to find a card that was under 40 bucks but I could go to 50 bucks if there was a strong price/performance ratio there.

thank you for your time and have a good day
 
Do those applications use CUDA cores? OpenGL how are those applications hardware accelerated?
 
If I'm not mistaken it is Cuda, but for professional multimedia graphics in 3D modeling and Photoshop rendering you are going to want a workstation card.

I went onto ebay and found this professional graphics card the Nvidia Quadro NVS 310 512MB for $30 and fee shipping.

I also found this PNY NVS 315 1GB for $40 with $6.80 shipping, so there are options.

Above the NVS 310 & 315 it starts to get pricey, but there is a fair price range on those particular cards.

Make sure you get the output you want.
Those you linked are DMS-59 or display port only.
 
NVS are limited cards and are not designed for 3D graphics. They're more for office workstations and can replace cards ( IGP ) which don't have enough outputs or screen resolution. New lowest NVS are not so much faster than Intel IGP. Better is to get GeForce.
