Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a used graphics card to upgrade my slightly older setup that has an i5-9400F and a GTX 1650. I'm looking to spend around €100–140. My main goal is to game at 1080p, ideally hitting around 60 FPS on high to ultra settings, depending on the game. Also, do I need to worry about bottlenecks with GPUs in this price range? Thanks for your help!

With your budget, the increase in performance might be minimal. Just keep in mind that at this low price point, there might not be a huge improvement. Some folks are suggesting that an RX 5700 XT is available around that price, which might give a decent boost!
Honestly, for €100–140, you're really not going to find much better than a GTX 1080. But I’d recommend saving a bit more for the €200–250 range to check out options like a used 3060 (12GB), which would give you much better performance.
I picked up an RX 6800 (non-XT) for €300 last year, and it runs all the games I want at 1440p nicely. If you find an RX 6800 XT at a good price, that's definitely worth considering as it would outperform my card.
The used GPU market can vary quite a bit in Europe, but generally, the RX 5700 XT is around $130-150 in the U.S. and performs about 10-15% better than the RX 6600. That's a good option to consider if you can find it around your budget!
Yeah, exactly! You can definitely find an RX 5700 XT around that price, it's a solid upgrade.
