Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Hello! I’m upgrading my GPU from a Tuf Gaming 4gb 6500 xt, but I haven’t quite decided what to upgrade to. My plan is to buy a gpu that can handle 2k at >144 hz. current system: Ryzen 7 5800x Asus Prime x570 Pro Tuf Gaming 6500xt 4gb 32 gb Corsair vengeance 550 watt PSU 1TB Samsung 980 Evo Pro 240mm Radiator for CPU cooling 3 Corsair fans Corsair 4000D Airflow RGB There are a few GPUs that I’ve found on Ebay (I’m buying open box/refurbished). Attached are their names and prices. Please feel free to give me your opinion, or if you find a better GPU, here are some loose requirements: Price: <450 USD w/ shipping VRAM: >= 12 gb RGB: minimum, rgb is a nuisance to control. Thank you for any consideration and feedback! Edit: Also need to upgrade PSU, budget is 200 USD, any recommendations? Narrowed down to the 3 6800xt cards.

Thank you for any consideration and feedback! I'd simply consider the 7800 XT. Its slightly higher than your budget but worth the potential. The gap between the 6800 XT and 7800 XT isn't that large right now but considering how much performance the 6800 XT gained over a couple of years of driver updates, I think its worth it. You can even run it at a lower TDP and get near equivalent performance for substantially lower wattage that'll fit into the rest of the system.
