Hi, I recently built a new PC with a 9600K but I am still using the gtx 960 so it's time for a new graphics card.

I game on a 1440P 144HZ panel and will use the card only for gaming.

My budget is around €400.

I play GTA5, escape from tarkov, Far cry 5 and new dawn, verdun, age of empires III and Rome II total war

Thanks in advance for you suggestions.

For that budget your only real NEW options for 1440p 144hz would be a 2060 or the new 5700 from AMD which will be releasing next month. 

 

They won't be getting you 144fps in every title though. For that you'd need to be stepping up to a 2070 or a 5700 XT at the least.

 

If you don't mind going the used route, a used 1080 or Vega 64 would do the job at 1440p as well but for a little less money. 

 

Personally, I'd go for a new option myself.

2060 is your best bet right now. Although its not ideal option for 1440p 144Hz.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow
