Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from a GTX 1650, but I'm on a tight budget. I've found a few options that seem pretty good based on their prices:
- MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X XS WHITE 8G OC, GDDR6, 128-bit (around $210-230)
- ASRock Radeon RX 6500 XT Phantom Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6 64-bit (about $190-210)
- SB570G-10GOC Intel Arc B570 10GB GDDR6 160-bit (priced at $220-240)
Which of these would give me the best performance for the money? Also, I came across a used GTX 2080 Ti for $300; is that a good deal?

If you can stretch your budget a bit, consider the RTX 3060 12GB, which you can find for about $250-300. It would significantly outperform your current card and the ones you're looking at! Definitely worth the investment!
Honestly, none of those options are the best deal for the price. For what you're looking at, you might want to explore the 6700 XT or 6750 XT as better alternatives around that price range!
Good point! I didn't realize I could get better performance for the same price. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I’ll definitely check out the 3060 more closely.
