Best possible gpu upgrade

Go to solution Solved by Somerandomtechyboi,

Just buy a used 6700xt

Should be more than enough for 1080p and the extra vram helps if you wanna go 1440p in the future

 

Theyre around 280-300$ last time i checked on ebay, just make sure you can return em incase faulty

Country: Argentina

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p. Mostly anything free on epic games store. Some ligth video editing and streaming, nothing fancy

 

Other details :

i have a pc with this components:

- Ryzen 5 5600g

- GTX 1660 SUPER (That i bought used for around USD$80)

- 32 gb ram 3200mhz

- gigabyte A520M DS3H

- SENTEY 800w 80+bronze psu

 

While im perfectly happy with my current specs. I want to know in case of a future upgrade, what are the best GPUs for my pc, without changing any other component? I know a RTX 4090 would be super overkill, and i dont want to waste performance or money on components that either are too much for my psu or are extremely bottlenecked by my cpu

I would suggest checking the reviews of the latest AMD GPU.

It is not the most impressive but for its price with the recent price drop it has become very interesting.

I would however stress that waiting a few weeks might be your best option as it looks like a price war might be on the horizon.

I truly hope so as right now nvidea are simply being bullish and basically you pay or go away attitude.

AMD seem to be all over the place but do have some very compelling cards on offer.

their implementation of ray tracing is not the best but that does not mean they cannot run a ton of games with excellent results.

Another advantage you could use is that AMD do at least offer a perfomance gain when using an AMD combo of CPU and GPU.
