I'm on the hunt for a GPU that costs under €150. I was thinking about getting a 1080 Ti, but prices are rising too high for my budget. I need something that can handle Wii/WiiU emulation, run Minecraft with shaders, and do some light video editing. Since I'm leaving Ireland soon and can't save up much, I'm running out of time. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

The choice largely depends on what's available, but cards like the 5700 XT, 6600, and 3060 perform similarly—grab the cheapest used one you can find!
Consider the 2060 Super or 2070; they should fit your needs without being too outdated. Just keep checking local listings!
Unfortunately, our market here in Ireland doesn't have any 2060 Supers or 2070s at that price.
Have you thought about a 1070 Ti or a regular 1080? They still offer solid performance and should be within your budget.
You might want to check out second-hand options for a 1080 Ti. Places like r/hardwareswapuk or CeX could have some deals. Just keep an eye out!
I’ve looked, but even second-hand 1080 Tis are over €150. I can’t stretch my budget beyond that since I’m low on cash.
A quick check on eBay shows you might snag a GTX 1660 Super or a Radeon RX 5700 in that price range. You could also find a 2060 if you can manage a little extra for shipping. Don’t forget to search beyond Ireland for more options!
They’re all still way above my budget unfortunately.
