I'm in the process of building a new PC and I'm looking for the best GPU around $400. I initially thought the RTX 4060 was a solid choice, but after some research, I found mixed reviews about its performance. As a video editor, I need something that can handle my workload effectively. What GPU do you all recommend? I haven't purchased any components yet, so I'm open to suggestions!

The 4060 Ti is actually closer to $400 if you’re considering some recent buys. And yeah, the RX 7700 XT is a solid competitor at the same price. But if you're feeling thrifty, a used GTX 1070 could be a great pickup too—just keep in mind performance may vary for heavy editing tasks.
It’s been reliable for years, but might not cut it for high-end editing needs.
For around $350, I’d say check out the RX 6600 XT. It’s solid and can handle video editing quite well. The 4060 Ti is also a good option if you can stretch your budget to $400. It’s really about balancing your needs and budget. But honestly, don’t overlook the RX 7700 XT, which is right at that price point as well. Do some comparisons to see which suits your workflow best!
I’ve heard the RX 7700 XT is a beast for video editing. Worth considering!
Yeah, both that and the 4060 Ti have their pros and cons for your needs.
I’m curious, how do you find the performance of a used 1070? I do mostly gaming.
