I'm looking for advice on choosing a GPU for my current PC setup. Here's what I've got: an i5 12400F processor, an Asus PRIME B760-PLUS D4 motherboard, 16GB of Corsair 3200 DDR4 RAM, a 500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD, and a 1TB HDD. I primarily game at 1080p and have vision issues, so I don't plan to upgrade to 1440p or 4K. I want to play older games at ultra/high settings and newer titles at decent FPS, like RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and MGS Delta. I've set my budget to 300 euros max, and I'm considering buying second-hand. I've found a used 6800 XT for 250-300 euros, but I'm unsure if that's a good deal or if there are better options available for 1080p gaming.

Honestly, the 6800 XT is still a strong option, and you shouldn't worry too much about the support issue. You will get solid performance for your favorite games. I also believe 8GB of VRAM will still keep you going for a while, but it might not be 'future-proof.' Just be aware of the newer titles that are pushing VRAM limits!
The 6800 XT would be an amazing deal at that price! However, some people are concerned about AMD cutting support for RDNA 2, so you might want to consider something like the RTX 5060 Ti or even a newer 9060 XT if they're within your budget. There are some decent choices in that range, just make sure the performance aligns with what you play!
Yeah, the pricing can be tricky right now, but for 1080p, you should also keep an eye on sales events like Black Friday—might snag a better deal!
Totally agree! I think the 6800 XT can handle most games just fine, especially for 1080p gaming. Just check for the latest reviews regarding the games you're interested in!
