I'm looking for a good budget graphics card to pair with my Ryzen 7 7800X3D that can handle 1440p gaming at around 120-240 Hz with mid graphics settings. I'm considering options within the NVIDIA 4000 series and AMD 7000 series but am curious if there are cheaper alternatives that still offer solid performance. I've heard the 'Super' cards have some advantages, so I'm interested in any recommendations you might have!

If you're open to the idea of used cards, keep an eye out for a 4070 Ti Super, or even just the standard 5070. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by their performance!
The RX 9070 is actually only about 10-12% slower than the 9070 XT, yet it usually costs around $100 less and has the same VRAM and features. That's a solid option if you're looking to save some cash while still getting good performance?
Is that extra speed really worth the price difference in terms of gameplay?
The non-XT version of the 9070 is also a solid choice! It has similar VRAM and features as the XT model but with lower power consumption, making it a good value alternative.
The Nvidia RTX 4000 series and AMD 7000 series have been out of production for over a year now, so finding them new at decent prices could be tough. But if you can snag one used, the RX 7800 XT is a great choice for your needs!
What's the main difference between the 5070 and the Ti version?
