My GTX 970 is starting to show its age, and I'm looking for a decent upgrade. Ideally, I want something in the €50 to €100 range, but I understand that I'll probably only find used options at that price. What GPUs would you recommend?

Honestly, given your tight budget, it might be worth holding out a bit longer. Investing a little more can get you a much better GPU that will last longer.
So true! Waiting can sometimes lead to finding a real gem.
If you're trying to stay within budget, the RX 6600 or GTX 1660 Super should also be on your radar. They usually pop up used at reasonable prices and offer great performance for 1080p gaming.
Absolutely! Those two cards can handle most games comfortably, especially if your CPU is decent.
Yeah, and they won't require a major upgrade to your other components.
Check places like eBay for great deals. You might find a GTX 1080 or even a GTX 1080 Ti slightly above your budget but worth considering if you can stretch it a bit. They offer awesome performance for their price.
The 1080 Ti is a beast! I'd jump on that if you see one.
Definitely! The 1080 is a solid step up from the RX 580 too.
Since your GTX 970 is quite outdated, any newer GPU will definitely outperform it. I'd recommend looking into options like the GTX 1060 6GB or even the RX 580; both are solid choices and should fit your budget if you go for used ones.
Just a heads up, the GTX 1060 3GB is pretty underwhelming and not worth it. Stick to the 6GB version for a better experience.
Yeah, I definitely agree! The RX 580 is great, especially for the price.
Look for the RX 5700 or RTX 2060; those usually pop up in the used market for around €100 and are excellent choices. Also, check your local listings; you might find something unexpected at a good price.
Absolutely! Just keep an eye on prices; they fluctuate quite a bit.
Yes! The performance boost you'll experience going from a 970 is significant!
True, if you can save up an extra €50, it could make a big difference in your options.
