I'm currently using an RX 5700 XT with a Ryzen 7 5700x3d and getting about 110 fps on low/medium settings while playing Arc Raiders. I'd like to upgrade my GPU to achieve high or epic settings with good FPS. Here are my specs:
- RX 5700 XT PULSE
- Ryzen 7 5700x3d
- 144hz monitor (I won't be upgrading this)
- 32 GB DDR4 RAM with a B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard
- 650W PowerSpec power supply
I'm looking for recommendations under $300, but I'm open to GPUs that will fit well with my build.

Are you gaming at 1080p or 1440p? If you're sticking to 1080p, your best bet under $300 might be the RX 9060 XT 8GB, which should give you a decent boost. Otherwise, if you're gaming at 1440p, consider saving a bit more for the 16GB version, which is closer to $400.
Just a heads-up, though - the B580 is more of a side grade to your current 5700 XT, so you might want to look at options like a used card instead.
What resolution are you running? If it's 1080p, the RX 9060 XT 8GB should work well for you. But if you're aiming for 1440p, you'd need the 16GB version for better performance, even if it’s a bit pricier.
Would getting the 16GB card and using it on a 1080p monitor be a waste?
I play at 1920x1080p.
