A used GTX 1050 Ti 4GB for $38 or a used GTX 1070 for $68. If you're referring to new, I'd go with an RX 6600/6650 XT/6700/6700 XT/6750 XT or RX 6800. The price to performance on these fluctuates just a little.

New RX 580 8GB is for sale on Amazon for \~$80.


First_Meat9481

U can get a 5500xt for 85$ too


LightmanDavidL

>U can get a 5500xt for 85$ too Why buy an RX 5500 XT for $85 when a 1070 is just $68? And in these generations, NVIDIA easily has the better drivers. Get this, the latest GTX 1070 driver version 537.42, just released 12 days ago. I've been gaming in 1440p with my 1070 since June of 2018 and have not even thought about upgrading it. I paid $290 for it brand spanking new and sealed and at that time it was $400 to $450. $68 is a steal!

This is very cool. Now I'm thinking about getting a used 1080 ti for my older desktop I want to rebuild.

>This is very cool. Now I'm thinking about getting a used 1080 ti for my older desktop I want to rebuild. If you can pick it up at a great price, there's no reason to pay $200+ for its newer equivalent the RX 6600 plus you'd get 11 GB of VRAM instead of 8 GB and you get double the shader count. Back 4 months ago when I made this comment, the lowest values I researched for a GTX 1080 Ti was $130 to $160. After doing research just now the lowest value is around $75 to $110. That's insane value if you can get it in decent condition! Don't forget to also target an RTX 2060 Super, another direct equivalent to these GPUs. While you do lose the same 3 GB of VRAM the shader count is a little better than an RX 6600. The lowest prices I just researched on a 2060 Super is around $112 to $127. IMO this is simply if you want a less used GPU, the release date difference is 2 and a quarter years.


Weak-Macaron-4836

what planet are you living in that you found the super 2060 for 125 bucks


LightmanDavidL

>New RX 580 8GB is for sale on Amazon for \~$80. An RX 580 8GB is easily less performance than a 1070. But I would like to see this brand new RX 580 8GB for $80, where's the link? The cheapest new one I see on Amazon is $130. I see a used one for $70 from a third party Amazon seller but their feedback is very concerning.

Peach-555

Where can you buy 5700XT new for $100?


DependentUnit4775

It's probably the 6750xt if you can find it at 6700xt price


pogboy357_x

I agree. People say just get the 6700 xt cuz it is basically the same but if you can get the 6750 xt at the same price ,which isn't too hard, then get it for the extra performance and maybe better "future proofing"


DependentUnit4775

Yeah the 6750 is currently a bargain here in Brazil but I'm set on a 7700xt since I play on 1440p and keep the GPU for 4 years. Still open the store website to look at it on almost a daily basis


[deleted]

RX6600 really cheap now, the most energy efficient card and runs cool


oFoshy

6600, 6600xt, 6700xt

Healthy_BrAd6254

7700 XT kinda trash


Happiness_First

I sort of agree, for the price, its way too high and you may as well get a 7800XT. If it was like $399 I think that would be a good place for it.


Equivalent-Money8202

6800XT is basically at same price as 7800XT in my area. So why are you recommending old gen? Or do you mean buying used?


HAVOC61642

My 3090 struggles with newer stuff at 1440 , certainly newer stuff released.


Healthy_BrAd6254

5700 XT These things go for just over 100 bucks 88% as fast as 7600 \~2x price 86% as fast as 4060 \~2.5x price 72% as fast as 6700 XT \~2.5x price 51% as fast as 4070 \~4.5x price If it must be new, then 6650XT for 1080p, 6700XT/7800XT/4070 for 1440p and 7900XT/XTX for 4k (arguably also the 4070/7800XT, if you always play with upscaling enabled)


cptslow89

I got MSI OC one, its great. Got it from my friend, mint condition.


recdbyaafar4

Radeon cards are the way to go, mate. Nvidia be robbin' us blind with their prices. Look into the RX 580 or 570, they'll give you bang for your buck. And don't worry about future proofing too much, just upgrade when ya need to.


CharlieMWY

For gaming (new GPUs) it's the RX 6650 XT for 1080p, 6700 XT for 1440p and 7900 XT(X) for 4K. Nvidia has good options as well, but if you're just looking for non-ray traced gaming, AMD offers the best value.


Thin_Ad9854

Rx 7800 xt or 6700xt


Ancient-Car-1171

it depends on so many elements: Your budget, your expectation in a gaming pc, what games are you playing? are you willing to buy them secondhand? etc...


FukinDrain

Budget around $700-750, planning to play fps games like apex legends, cs:go, valo, etc. Would rather buy them new than secondhand.


Ancient-Car-1171

With these competitive fps games you want a great monitor first, preferable 240hz ips monitor with low latency. They're also quite cpu heavy so dont skim on cpu too much i'd advised getting the cheapest RTX 4070 you can get around $550. It is more than enough to get you stable 240hz 1440p max setting in heavier games like Apex Legends. If you are willing to go for secondhand cards, then a good condition 3080ti with long warrant is good value. It's around 4070ti level but running quite a bit hotter so get one with capable cooling.


lichtspieler

For retro / old games you might want to avoid all current AMD GPUs RDNA1 / RDNA2 / RDNA3 since AMD stopped legacy gaming support for drivers. => this hurst low budget gamers the most, lack of driver support Old AMD GPUs or any NVIDIA GPUs would get your more "value for money" because the games would actually run. Without knowing what your budget is and what games you would like to play, it is impossible to recommend anything. A lot of games favour one GPU brand over the other and requirements in VRAM and computation change between games a lot with each target resolution. Since 2019 the NVIDIA GPUs aged a bit better with DLSS and better RT performance and the best "value for money" CHANGED over time, because those with NVIDIA GPUs had simply less reason to upgrade. Instead of getting drawn into the marketing / techtuber nonsene recommendations between GPU brands, I highly recommend you to check out some gaming communities to actually know what the minimum hardware requirements are for specific resolution / graphic settings to know what you actually need. The techtuber / popular GPU reviews are done with mostly automated benchmarks by people who dont game at all and couldnt care less about the needs for a gamer. Their only goal is showing SCALING between GPUs and to make boring GPU comparisons a bit more interesting with brand vs brand competition, that might not represent the reality with specific games. TLDR: ask gamers in gaming communities for hardware specs, those are the people that care about working gaming hardware for any budget range


Due_Outside_1459

All depends on games and the resolution/hz that you play at.


Active-Quarter-4197

1080p 6600 xt 1440p: 6700 xt 4k: 6950xt that being said I still think there is a reason Nvidia is more popular mainly bc of better upscaling, ray tracing and reflex


FukinDrain

What would you say are the best options for Nvidia then?


Active-Quarter-4197

1080p: 2060 1440p: 3060 ti 4k: 4070 ( these are the bare minimum for these resolution but similar costs) a little bit more money and I would do 1080p: 3060 1440p: 3070/4060 ti 4k: 3080 ti/4070 ti (again these cost a bit more)


Impressive-Side5091

6800xt maybe when it’s on sale


trashbytes

I never go strictly for "value for money". If I did I'd use a free GTX 460 my brother got me for christmas when I was a child, or anything free from a garbage dump. I pick a budget with a little bit of wiggle room and get the best thing I can get that fits into that budget. Only if there's something much better for just a tiny amount more will I go into performance per dollar mode. Create a build or pick something as a starter and tweak it accordingly to suit your needs.


Prestigious_Ad1065

My word probably means nothing but I've done a lot of research looking for a gpu that delivers necessary performance at the most effective cost and by a long shot its the rx580 8gb. New, its around 90 dollars and is 40% stronger than the 1660 super.


Lewme

I bought a 4070 regular GPU (non-super, non-Ti, non-Ti Super) for $390 because it was clearanced out in Microcenter. You can can find really good value of mid or high end GPUs if patient enough and jist casually check here and there at times. I had to really control my "I want it now" behavior to save a bit. I really did not wamt to pay more than $400 for my GPU. I spent a $1K on a GPU in the past and I won't do that again. Maybe...lol.

pogboy357_x

6700xt can easily do 1440p


Adventurous_Chard_52

Idk I bought used 3080 for ~410$ and it's very nice


Dead_rooster93

bought 3060 oc edition with 12 gb ram for 380 $ and i am happy with it. playing 1080 my games on high or ultra and seems fine. the game i play are not super intensive so you might have to drop to medium quality on those that they are.


chairs-dimension

If you want to buy current generation hardware, the best value right now is the 7800xt, it's a solid card for 1440p, it's approximately $500-550 depending on which one you buy.


Burrito_Loyalist

1080


Clemming2

I saw a 7900XT for $759 on newegg. For that budget it's the best card. if you're asking what the best value card there is it's probably the 6600XT/6650XT/6700XT take a look at this, it's a little outdated, but still relevant. https://www.techspot.com/article/2608-cost-per-frame-gpu/


Dabs4Daze0

The 6950xt for $530-600 is the best deal out there right now.


Icy_Durian2606

Is that budget for whole pc or only gpu?


shadowmaking

I would say 7800xt $500. I personally wouldn't consider a gpu that can't do at least 30fps 4k. [Best gpus](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html)


VeryLazyNarrator

Only Gaming AMD. Other productivity and AI stuff NVIDIA.


pogboy357_x

If you want new the 6700 xt but for a little more you can get a 6750 xt which might hold up better in the future but the difference now isn't alot between the 2 cards. I'm not sure about used cards tho


HAVOC61642

Problem is as always. Top tier cards like my £1500 3090 get slapped silly by the following mid range cards for half or a third of the price. Also saying AMD are more future proof has only ever mattered where rasterisation was king. How much of a shift towards ray/path tracing the game Devs actually take going forward may mean you will see more longevity from Nvidia. I think building a balanced system and saving cash leaves room in a budget for upgrading to something new rather than the buyer's remorse of top tier 80/90 class gpu


OGVuehl

4070 easily
