I’m upgrading from a 4770 to a 9600. This is my budget free living room PC build. I’m trying to keep everything even bottleneck wise.
Helldovers is starting to chug like I put water in my cars gas tank. My Gtx1060 is…old.
What GPU should I upgrade to? I was looking at 2080s for around $200.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
Yeah it’s hard to beat a free 5 generation CPU upgrade, good luck to you on the GPU hunt. You could also consider an RX 6650 XT or RX 7600 for around the same price as a 2080, TechPowerUp has them all within 1-2% of each other in relative performance. The 4060 is right in that same ballpark performance-wise, but obviously it’s going to be a lot harder to find one in that low-$200s budget.
Again, those are all gonna be 8 GB cards. If you’re looking for more VRAM and the 6700 XT or 2080 Ti at the prices I mentioned before are out of the budget, you could also look for a 1080 Ti, TechPowerUp has it at about 90% of the performance of a 2080.
So I’ve been checking out the 7600xt and the 7700xt. I thought those were $200 cards used. They’re going for $300?
1080ti comes with the caveat of trying to find a sfx power supply to host it. Well…I guess they all do. But I’ll need a 700 watt. I have a 500 watt right now.
