I moved an Arc A750 into my new build and am wondering what GPU would be the best value upgrade for around $300. Is there anything worth buying at that price?
What GPU should I get for around $300 with a Ryzen 7500X3D?

The Arc B580 12GB is one to check if you can find it within budget. The extra memory is appealing, but compare benchmarks in the games you play against your A750 before buying. Whether it's worth the swap depends on the actual price and how much performance you need.

Honestly, I'd keep the A750 a bit longer and save for a bigger jump. An RX 9060 XT 16GB has been suggested as a more substantial upgrade, though it's well over the $300 target. Prices vary, so check what it actually costs where you live.

If you're open to used cards, look for an RTX 3080 or a 4060 Ti, including the 16GB version if one shows up near your budget. Availability and pricing are very local, so compare listings rather than assuming either will be easy to find for $300.
Check the seller's return policy and ask whether the card can be tested. A used option can make more sense for an A750 upgrade than spending the whole budget on a modest new card.

For a new Nvidia card, keep an eye on RTX 5060 pricing. It may be a little over $300, though occasional offers can land closer to your limit. It's an 8GB card, so weigh that against the performance gain over your A750.

The 16GB version is the one to price out here. The 8GB model may be cheaper, but it isn't the same memory configuration.
