I'm finally ready to upgrade from my old GTX 970. I have an i7-9700K CPU and two Asus VQ248QE 1080p 144Hz monitors. My budget is under $500, and I'm considering an Nvidia 3000 series card. Any recommendations for a good GPU upgrade? Refurbished cards are fine too. Thanks in advance!

If you're leaning towards the 9060XT, it makes full use of the x16 PCIe slot, which is great for older systems. The 5060Ti is also a solid choice, but tends to be a bit pricier. It’s all about brand preferences too, so make sure to check reviews!
Both the 5060 Ti 16GB and the 9060 XT 16GB are excellent options under $500. The 9060 XT usually performs better with older hardware too, and I've seen it go for under €350 in some places. Just keep an eye on local prices!
That's a great thought, I’ll look into local pricing!

I should note I also have the ASUS TUF Z390-Plus, so I hope it still holds up!
