I'm currently using integrated graphics and want a GPU that delivers strong FPS per dollar. I found what was listed as a Radeon 9060 GRE for $680 after taxes. I realize it may not perform as well as a 9070 XT, but GPU prices are high and this seems like a reasonable deal. Is this a smart purchase, or should I look at other options in the same price range?

Double-check the exact model first. The name may be a mistake for either a 9060 XT 16GB or a 9070 GRE. At $680 after tax, neither sounds especially compelling when a 9070 can sometimes be found for around that price, and an open-box 9070 XT may also be possible.
Some buyers have managed to get a 9070 GRE for roughly $608 after taxes and shipping, so $680 for the unidentified card doesn’t look like a standout deal.
If this is from a private seller or a used listing, be careful. You may lose the return period and warranty coverage, so a card that fails a few months later could erase any savings. Get the return and warranty terms confirmed before paying.
That price seems too high for the performance. A standard 9070 should be close in cost and would generally be the better choice. It’s worth comparing current prices across several stores before buying.
