Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a new GPU and trying to stick to a budget of $500 max. I really want something that can consistently give me at least 60 FPS on all the latest games at 1440p with medium to high settings. I'll be honest, I'm not super knowledgeable about PC parts — all the different brands and models like Asus, Nvidia, ROG, etc., are really confusing to me. If you have any personal recommendations or experiences, I'd love to see links to what you suggest. Thanks!

You’ll struggle to hit high-quality 1440p at 60 FPS with just a $500 card. If you're looking for solid performance, you might want to consider the RX 9070 XT, but that’s usually over your budget at around $700. If you are okay finding used options, you might get lucky!
I’d recommend the RX 9060 XT 16GB. It should give you decent performance for the price, around $420. It’s a good choice for 1440p gaming if you can settle for medium settings on some newer titles.
I’ve heard the 4070 is around the same price as the 9070. Which one would you say is better?
