I'm on the hunt for an affordable AMD graphics card that can handle gaming at 5K resolution with a refresh rate of 165Hz, targeting the lowest graphics settings. I'm looking to achieve at least 165 fps in games like Doom The Dark Ages, Splitgate 2, and Marvel Rivals. The GPU needs to be compatible with Bazzite and work on a PCIe 3 motherboard. My budget's around 300-350 AUD. Any recommendations would be really helpful!
EDIT: After thinking it over, I'm actually wondering about a budget-friendly AMD ray tracing GPU that can run games at 2560x1080 resolution with 330 fps at 330Hz refresh rate, still supporting PCIe 3 motherboards and working with Bazzite.

No card can do what you're asking without some form of upscaling. 5K resolution at 165Hz is just too demanding unless you have top of the line hardware. You might need to upgrade your CPU too to hit those frame rates.
Honestly, it sounds like a tall order. There's really no GPU that can run at those specs, especially at 5K. Even the best cards struggle, and you might be pushing it a lot if you're aiming for that performance. Maybe lower your expectations a bit?
Yeah, it's probably better to focus on lower resolutions or settings if you want solid performance. Maybe check the 9600 XT; it could be your best bet under 350 AUD.
