Do you already have a 3060?

No, im looking into buying a new card the one i have current is a MSI 1650 lol My current specs are CPU - i7 - 10700F Memory - 16 gb ram kingston GPU - MSI 1650 (Ventus XS) PSU - 400W Motherboard - Asus Tuf gaming B460M Plus (Wifi)

Ah ok. I’d prefer the 7060, but FYI you’d likely need a new PSU for either.

MainConfident8394@reddit (OP)

yeppp im gonna buy a new PSU too, around 550W

The used market for 7600s has been great. It’s a good card but you might find a 6700 cheaper if you hunt I got a 6800 for less than 200

oh wowwww, really it would work with my CPU right? I need a good card for under 300$ thats why lol

[-]

HankHippoppopalous@reddit

Yup. For sub-300 I'm snagging a 3080 or 6800 off ebay. Theres an XFX Speedster for 289 right now, thats a solid deal cuz its got warranty from eBay

BTW are the radeon cards only just good for gaming or is it like NVIDIA where its good for gaming and everything else

theres no such thing as a bad card, only a bad price point, and 209 for that card is a bad price point - its a 5 year old card that had an MSRP of 309 lol Radeon RX are great for everything just like nVidia cards

[-]

HankHippoppopalous@reddit
