My GPU Just Died - Need New Suggestions

Asked by GamerDude42
Hey everyone! My RTX 2080 just gave out, so I'm in the market for a new GPU, which I guess is about time anyway. I've got a budget of $600 to $650. Here's a link to my current build: [PCPartPicker Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PqnrnL). I primarily stream using Moonlight, usually on a 4K or 3440x1440 display. I also do some gaming and light Blender work. I've been looking into options like the RX 9060XT, 9070, RTX 5060 TI, and 5070, but I'm not sure which one offers the best performance for my money. I'm open to other suggestions too if these don't fit the bill. Thanks in advance for your help!

For overall value, the RX 90 series offers better frame times and lower 1% lows, which is great for gaming. If you're just doing light Blender stuff, the RX 90 series should be perfect.

I'd say go for the 9070. Itโ€™s one of the best value GPUs if you can snag it close to MSRP, usually within $100.

Definitely the 9070, but if the price difference isnโ€™t huge, check out the 9070xt too since youโ€™re gaming at higher resolutions.

If you care about visuals, go with the 50 series. But if itโ€™s pure performance youโ€™re after, the 90 series is the way to go.

9070 seems like the best choice if they were all at MSRP. But you might find a good deal on the 5070 for around $550, which could give you better frames for your money.
