I've been using my graphics cards since 2019, and I think it's time for an upgrade, especially since I'm also getting a new 16GB RAM stick. I'm not quite sure about the specs, prices, or power requirements for a new graphics card and would love some recommendations that won't completely break the bank! Currently, I'm using an Nvidia GTX 1050 with 2GB of VRAM and an AMD Radeon Vega 8 built into my motherboard. Any suggestions?

Before you decide on a new card, it would be super helpful to know the specs of your current system. You should also consider your max budget and where you’re located to find the best deals. If you're not sure, try to list some details about your CPU, RAM, and power supply as well!
Given your budget of up to £400, you might want to consider graphics cards like the Nvidia RTX 3050 or the AMD Radeon RX 6600. Both offer great performance for 1080p gaming and should fit nicely within your budget, especially if you shop around a bit!
Sure! Here’s my current setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G (4-core, 3.6GHz base)
- RAM: 8GB DDR4 (expandable to 32GB)
- Storage: 120GB SSD + 1TB HDD
- PSU: 350W Corsair VS350
My budget is between £150-£400, and I’m in Northern Ireland.
