I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card with a budget of $450. Here's my current setup: I'm using an Asrock B550M HDV motherboard, a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM, paired with an RTX 2060. I need a GPU that can handle both productivity tasks (primarily using Adobe software for creative work) and gaming, so I'm hoping for an all-rounder. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

If you can snag one in that price range, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB works great for both gaming and productivity. But if you’re strictly using basic programs like Excel, the 9060 XT with 16GB could suffice too.
You might want to consider the RTX 4070 if you can find it within your budget. It’s a solid card that should serve you well for both gaming and productivity for a few years.
Is it still a good option for 3+ years? I plan to keep my graphics card for a while.
Check out Facebook Marketplace; you might find a good deal on a 40 series card. My brother scored a 4070 for $400 several months ago! Just be patient and nice when reaching out to sellers.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into that.
Thanks for the input! I actually use Adobe software for my creative work alongside gaming.
