Gpu upgrade advice

dhplayer

Hi, my 770 gpu has died. Looking for any advice on an affordable gpu capable of gaming @1080p. Budget €250. Was looking on amazon.de warehouse.

This is the computer.

MSI MAG B460 Torpedo

Crucial P2 CT1000P2SSD8 1TB Internes SSD, Bis zu 2400 MB/s (3D NAND, NVMe, PCIe, M.2)

Intel Core i5-10400F (Basistakt: 2,90GHz; Sockel: LGA1200; 65Watt) Box

Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G30C15U4B 3000 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Speicher Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL15, Schwarz

Corsair Carbide Series 100R PC-Gehäuse (Mid-Tower ATX Silent) schwarz

A 250€ cap limits you to a GTX 1650. If you could push that limit to 300€ you could go for a 1660 TI:

there can be quite a bit of difference:

I'd consider buying buy used.

Nvidia GTX 1660/1660 Super would be best. AMD RX 6500 XT or GTX 1650 Super would be ok too, but not as good.

Or the trusty old standby, the RX 570 / RX 580

(in performance: 6500XT < RX 570 < 1650 Super < RX 580 << 1660 < 1660 Super)

I would not do the 580, except for the fact it's pretty damn cheap. I just got done upgrading from the 390 which was recently dropped off of legacy support. They're both getting really old now; if you need a right now card though, the 580 will play just about everything on the market right now, to a reasonable degree at 1080p. I'd lean newer because of more years of assured driver support and less likely to come up soon against a title your card doesn't even know how to run. The 390 stopped doing details right in newer games: hair effects all out of whack etc. in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and bushes and grass in Horizon that just want to bounce and warp erratically.

This is €240 from amazon.de warehouse but with extra vat and postage probably about €290

Hi Mickeroo, I ordered the 1660 from Amazon warehouse. Found an old 660 that is functioning at moment. Thank you for the offer though
