I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for 1440p gaming and I have a few options in mind. I'm avoiding NVIDIA cards due to their high prices. Here are the GPUs I'm considering:
1. Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT for 32,703 lira (around 764 USD)
2. Gigabyte 9070 for 29,999 lira (approximately 701 USD)
3. Sapphire Pulse 9060 XT for 18,500 lira (432 USD)
4. ARC B580 for 12,800 lira (299 USD)
I have 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 750W PSU (CX750). My current games include Roblox, but I'm planning to dive into Battlefield 6 and maybe some AAA titles in the future.
Ideally, I want to run most games at 60 FPS or higher without dropping settings too much. I'm also a bit concerned I may be RAM limited, so any advice on that would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards the cheaper options but want to ensure I'm getting good value for my money, especially considering the prices listed.

For something like Battlefield 6, I'd definitely recommend going for the 9070 XT or better. It's essential for handling that kind of game at higher resolutions.
If you're watching your wallet, the 9060 XT 16GB is a solid choice for the price. However, if you can swing it, the 9070 XT is a fantastic option and will handle ultra settings with ease! The 9060 XT should still deliver around 60-90 FPS at medium to high settings.
Go with the 9060 XT if you want to save money. It'll still perform well for 1440p gaming, usually hitting 60-80 FPS in most titles without breaking the bank.
The 9060 XT should give you 60+ FPS in most games at 1440p, but make sure it's the 16GB version. If you think you might upgrade to 4K later, then go for the 9070 XT instead!
I was thinking the same; both cards have solid points!
If you’re mostly playing Roblox, almost any decent GPU will do. But since you want to play bigger titles, the price difference points to going for the 9070 XT if you can afford it!
Right! Roblox is more CPU demanding anyway. But for AAA games, you'll need something beefier.

But wouldn't the 16GB system RAM affect performance?
