My GPU recently stopped displaying images, and I've sent it out to see if it can be repaired cheaply. I'm weighing my options—whether to try to fix the old one or invest in a new GPU. I use my computer for a wide variety of games and am looking for a replacement that's comparable to my old setup. If anyone has suggestions for good replacement GPUs, especially ones that offer great value, I would appreciate it! Here are my specs for reference:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M AORUS ELITE
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
- Previous GPU: ASUS ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18
- PSU: Corsair RMe Series RM750e 2025

If you have a Micro Center near you, there's a good deal on a 9600 XT 8GB for $255. It could be worth looking into!
Based on your Ryzen 5 5600, an RTX 3060 12GB would be the best upgrade overall. The RX 6600 is a great budget option, and if you want to push for 1440p gaming, consider the RX 6700 XT, but it's pricier. Just keep in mind to check the prices based on where you're located!
I appreciate all the feedback! I’m narrowing down my choices. I really need that warranty for peace of mind, so I'm leaning towards something new as opposed to used.
Consider getting a used 5700 XT for around $140—it'd be a solid upgrade with nearly double the performance of your RX 570. If you're really pinching pennies, you could get a used GTX 1070 for about $80; it's still a decent step up, giving you about 1.5x performance boost.
What’s your max budget for a new GPU? It might actually be more expensive to fix your RX 570 than to replace it, depending on local prices. If you're on a tight budget, fixing it might be the way to go, but if you're looking to upgrade, knowing your budget helps find the best option.
