Upgrading my GPU

Hey All! I‘m currently looking for advice on upgrading my graphics card for better performance. At the moment im only planning to play games at 1080p with keeping 1440p as a possible option in the future. I‘ve already looked at plenty of options at my price point (250-350), including AMD, Nvidia and even Intel. Is it worth considering the A770 as an option or should I rather go the traditional way by going with AMD at that price. I should also add that I‘m from Europe and the average power consumption shouldn‘t be too high.

My current system:

Ryzen 5 5600x

GTX 1660

B550 Gaming Plus

EVGA 550W Gold

32GB DDR4-3600 

Would love to hear any advice!

not at 250-350 usd cuz you can get a used 6800 or new 6700 xt for that money which are both better by quite a margin

You could go 1440p with either gpu above but there would be less of a bottleneck at 1080p with the 6700 xt

I would go for a 6700xt at that price point. Unless you're going to use it more for productivity work, the A770 just doesn't make much sense in a gaming build when the 6700xt exists, and a 6700xt will be perfect in that build. Save yourself the headache of Intel GPU driver issues.

If it's a good unit it'll be fine. I would get the 6700 xt either way since it's new (that's just how i am)
