I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card. Right now, I have a GTX 1660 Super, and I'm not sure which model to go for next. My budget is roughly $500 (excluding tax). Any suggestions?

If you're near a Micro Center, theyโ€™ve got the RX 9070 XT Challenger for around $579. It's a bit over your budget, but it offers great performance for the price!

ValueSeeker199: A 9070 XT for that price is an awesome deal!

Whatโ€™s the CPU youโ€™re working with? If you're using something like the 9060 XT model with 16GB, that could definitely be a good fit.

Have you checked the NewEgg door buster deal? They have the GIGABYTE Eagle GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB for $449 right now, might be worth considering!

First, it would help to know the specs of your entire system, especially your power supply. Also, is that $500 budget in the US?

For a $500 budget, I'd also suggest looking at the 5060 Ti or the 9060 XT with 16GB. They should give decent performance without breaking the bank.
