I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, but I'm on a budget and can't afford the latest models like the 5070 or 9070 XT. Here's my current setup: R7 5800x CPU, B450 Tomahawk motherboard, 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM, an 850W Gold PSU, and a 2060 Super 8GB GPU. I mainly play CS2 and want to dive into newer titles like BF6. What GPU would you recommend that fits my budget?

If you're mainly playing CPU-intensive games, upgrading your GPU might not show a significant boost in FPS for the investment. But if you still want to upgrade, a 40 series GPU like the 4070 Super could be a good option.
It really depends on your budget. If you’re looking at around $400-$450, consider a used 3080 with 12GB. I upgraded from a 3080 to a 5080, but the 3080 still performed well on BF6, averaging 95-100 FPS at 1440p with medium settings.
That sounds like a solid option! How did you find the 3080 performance in comparison to your new card?
