I'm currently using a RTX 2060 with 6GB of VRAM, and I'm looking to upgrade to improve my gaming experience at 1440p. I'm particularly interested in games like BeamNG and Satisfactory and would prefer a GPU under 500 AUD. What options do you recommend?

For 1440p gaming, the 4070 series or 5070 are also exciting options, but they might be above your budget. However, they are fantastic for future-proofing your setup!
Check out the PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT. It's slightly above budget at $529 AUD, but it offers a lot for the price with 16GB of VRAM, which is excellent for your gaming needs. It's worth the stretch if you can manage it!
What does your overall system look like? Other components can impact performance too. If you're rocking something like an i5-11400 with 16GB RAM and a 650W PSU, it should pair nicely with any of these GPUs!
The RTX 3070 or the RX 6700 XT could be solid choices too. They provide a significant leap in performance over the 2060. Just be sure to keep an eye on the prices, as you might find something in your budget!
Yeah, those are definitely worth considering, especially since you're aiming for current-gen performance. Look for deals!
If you're looking for solid options, you might want to consider the RX 9060XT (16GB) or the RTX 5060 Ti if you can find a good deal. Both are great for 1440p gaming and should serve you well!

Totally agree! I recently picked up the 9070XT for $885 AUD, but the RX 9060 XT at $529 AUD seems like a great price for a new card with so much VRAM.
