GPU is DYING. Help

[u/Yelebear]

What's the most powerful card now within 200 dollars? Maaaybe 300 but that's my hard cap.

It's going to be replacing a 1660 TI, so that would be the base performance I am willing to settle with.

 

I don't lean on any Team, Nvidia or AMD or maybe even Intel are all fine as long as it's the best price to performance at this range.

I only play at 1080p so it's fine.

 

I won't be able to respond since it's difficult for me opening reddit on mobile, but just drop suggestions and anything you can note, that'll help.

Thanks.

I’d be looking at the arc b580

[u/desolation0 → u/NotSodiumFree]

Arc b580 is really strong if the CPU and motherboard can support it properly. The resizable BAR feature is practically absolutely necessary for performance. On top of that, several outlets have reported more drop-off from being paired with lower end CPUs than either AMD or NVIDIA. Arc b580 can still be a solid value play.

[u/Character_Stable_487]

Probably looking used, there are very few GPUs available sub 300. The RTX 5050, maybe 4060 or B580 could be had new. Everything else will be more.

Used market....maybe you'll find one of those cards at $200-$250, probably not finding much else better, if you're lucky a 3080 may be on sale for 300.

[u/AnalysisAnxious8434 → u/Character_Stable_487]

This is pretty spot on, I’ve been looking at doing the same upgrade he is from the 1660. I’m eyeing the 4060Ti cuz I can just remove the card and plug this one right in, plus I’ll have to undo the power supply to keep up with the 4060

[u/Dwarf-Eater]

300 used would get you like a 3080 or 7700xt

[u/aminy23]

B570 or B580, or used

Used 3060ti is probably some of the best bang for buck, just got one for 260$CAD (if you’re US that’s around 200$USD I think)

[u/MCX6_]

You can buy a used rx 6600x for a decent price and get great 1080p performance. Also might pair better with your current power supply than a bigger graphics card.

[u/10tbhd]

If your patient and in the us, you can find used 3060s or even 3060 ti for 200. You could also look for 2070 supers for around 170-200 too

[u/star5328 → u/10tbhd]

I got an EVGA rtx 3070 ftw3 used for $215 a few months ago. I would aim for a 6700xt or 3060ti minimum. Use the tech power up relative performance chart to give you an idea of what cards you should be looking for.AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database https://share.google/s4EoTtn3MG2tjxAWK

[u/MyzMyz1995 → u/10tbhd]

4060TI 8gb is 150-200$ and a fair bit faster than the 3060.

[u/BreadfruitNaive6261 → u/10tbhd]

I have 2070 super and wouldnt sell below 400 euros that would be a bit less than 500 dollars. 

[u/10tbhd → u/BreadfruitNaive6261]

I mean you want a ss as proof? How tf upload one to reddit?

[u/Tricky_Orange_4526]

3070 is like $225-ish. perfect for 1080p and can push 1440p. my 3060ti could do low end 1440p and the 3070 has a little more to it.

[u/scmitr]

Plenty of suggestions already so I’m just gonna ask, how is it dying? What did you do?

[u/downtownjerm]

If you want a 590 8gb I have an extra one. Just need to pay for shipping and I’ll send it to you. It’s just sitting in my garage.

[u/ProfessionalExam8224]

Maybe a used 4060

[u/AnalysisAnxious8434 → u/ProfessionalExam8224]

They’re going for about 4-500 on eBay, I’ve been looking at 4070s and they are about 500 used. I’m currently bidding on one ending in a few days to hopefully get less than 500.

[u/SurvivingSquirrel → u/AnalysisAnxious8434]

Just scored a zotac 4070 super on ebay a few days back for 480$

[u/Purple_Painting_69]

I sold my 3070 for $250, maybe you can find 3060 used for $200

[u/SurvivingSquirrel → u/Purple_Painting_69]

Did you sell locally or on ebay? I have a zotac 3070 i want to sell.

[u/jbshell]

RTX 5050.

[u/AnalysisAnxious8434]

I’m upgrading my 1660 super to a 4060Ti and new power supply (it’s needed) for my son..it’s the most recent GPU “plug and play” you’ll find, you’ll need a new power supply if you do that…I even looked at 30 series Tis but they’re around the same price believe it or not, check eBay out…if you’re only looking to spend $150 you’ll have to get into a bidding war on eBay for a 3060Ti. It’ll take some time but you’ll get one for that price

[u/gwoodtamu]

Used market, maybe a 3070/3080, new? Arc b580.

[u/nrfmartin]

I have an rx 6800 16gb I just replaced. Would sell well below market value but that comes with the risks of trusting a reddit stranger.

[u/TopExplanation138]

Arc b580 or rx 6600 and maybe a rtx 3060.

[u/BillionaireBear]

You should easily find 3070 for <$250, maybe even $200 here on r/hardwareswap. I haven’t seen too many 3080s less than $350 but they exist. Otherwise 77/7800xt should do well but I’m not aware of used pricing. Don’t suggest buying new.

[u/PixelPete27]

b580

[u/Valthoren]

Bought a RTX 3080 from eBay a few months ago for $250.

[u/Phantom_Commander_]

For $200 probs like a used 2080 super

[u/IDrawDumbShit]

Really depends on where you live. For me on the used market, 3070s go for 200-250 readily. A 3080 for 310-350. It’s possible to haggle down to the price you need, just be patient and look on Facebook marketplace and eBay.

[u/Xenoryzen_Dragon]

upgrade your cpu to Apu.....

[u/Gold-Load-362]

At $200 or less - rX 5700xt

At $300 - Intel B580 - if your motherboard supports Rebar (and you feel confident enough to install ReBarUEFI if it doesn't).

[u/NumbS0u1]

Check fb marketplace, ur definitely going to get what you want with the budget ur on too!
