I'm planning to upgrade from my Radeon RX 580 on a budget of $400. I've heard good things about the RX 7600 XT, but I'm not very knowledgeable about graphics cards and there are so many options out there. The recent announcement of the Oblivion Remaster has motivated me to finally make this upgrade. Are there specific things I should consider to ensure compatibility with my PC? I will be upgrading my CPU later, but right now the graphics card is my main concern. Since my current setup supports the 580, will it easily accommodate the 7600 as well? My CPU is an Intel Core i5-8400 running at 2.80 GHz. Thanks for your insights!

If you're looking to stay around $400, the 4060 Ti seems to be one of the best options. It's powerful and should give you a solid performance boost. Just be careful about prices, as I've seen it listed much higher in some places, around $800, but you might find it for closer to your budget if you shop around.
You can check out this [benchmark article](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html) for a clearer picture of how different GPUs stack up. I recommend looking into the 6650 XT, 6750 XT, 7600 XT, and the 4060 Ti. They all offer a good balance of performance for their price. Just make sure to check which offers the best value for what you’re willing to spend.
I'm currently deciding between the 6750 XT and the 7600 XT since the 4060 Ti is a bit out of my price range too. Quick question though: Is it worthwhile to go for 12GB or 16GB of VRAM, or should I just stick with 8GB to keep costs down?
