Need help finding a good GPU

[King_Minor]

I am looking for a GPU upgrade so that I can play Horizon Forbidden West when it releases on PC. I am wanting to spend between $200 and $300, but I might spend a bit more if I can't find anything that works. PSU wattage isn't a problem, I recently got a 850w psu from a friend in preparation for this upgrade.

 

These are the two I am currently looking at, but I want advice weather they are a good deal.

Also found this one which I think is a better deal than the 6700xt up there. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/249116154884830/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

They seem expensive for used cards with no warranty, compared to the new prices from major retailers.

 

What are you upgrading from?

I am upgrading from a GTX 760. (Understandable if you had to google it)

If you're on a tight budget, the 7600 XT 16GB is widely available new around $300. When new, 6700 XT and 6800 are getting scarce and prices are creeping up.

 

From a GTX 760, even a 6600 non-XT would be a massive upgrade.

How does the 7600xt compair to the 6700xt and 6800xt, Also I am willing to buy used if It means a decent increase in FPS over what I could afford new.

The 6800 is on par with most other used listings. If I had to choose I'd go for that, remember with facebook marketplace you can haggle. See if they'll take $300 for it, if not $325, etc. The cheapest used one I could find on eBay was $339.99 before tax and shipping. However, any of them would be a massive improvement over what you have currently.

Thanks, I will see if they accept that.

7600xt is about the same as 6650xt so still roughly 30% slower than 6700xt with also less VRAM. 

 

6800XT is significantly faster card than either of those.

Thanks for the reminder, but intel hasn't been in the dedicated GPU buissness for me to feel comfortable with one.

It is a corsiar RM850, white theme. Better than the 500w EVGA one that I was using.

okay, still Intell has tendency to occasionally lose 100fps on same game against a similarly priced GPU as far as I remember, even with driver updates

exactly, like I said, not everyone wants to play roulette, I'm not saying Arc is bad, it's just inconsistent
