I'm looking for some suggestions on a budget-friendly GPU to pair with my 9800X3D for competitive gaming at 1080p. Most people suggest using high-end GPUs for this CPU, but the games I play are really CPU-heavy, and I stick to low settings. Since I'm gaming at 1080p, I don't need a powerhouse GPU, but I want to avoid any bottlenecks with the 9800X3D. Any recommendations?

Another solid option is the 5060 TI. It should give you excellent value at 1080p gaming. Don't forget to check if you can get the 16GB version for better performance!
Honestly, just get the best GPU you can afford. Make sure to set a budget, though, since that really narrows your choices.
If you're into games like Fortnite or CS2, a 4060 or 5060 could work perfectly for you while keeping costs down.
If you’re not worried about budget, go for an RTX 5090; it'll perform great!
A 9060 XT with 16GB should also serve you well for 1080p competitive gaming. Just ensure you get the 16GB version for optimum performance.
