Hey everyone! I've been using an RTX 4060 with my Intel i7-12700F for 1440p competitive gaming (mostly Overwatch) for about three years now. While it has served me well, I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my graphics card as I believe it's holding back my CPU's potential. I want to make a worthwhile upgrade here. My budget is between $400 and $750, and I'd prefer a white GPU for aesthetic reasons. Ideally, I'm looking for something that can get me at least 210 FPS on medium/high settings in Overwatch. Also, I found a 9060 XT OC 16GB for $586—should I go for it? Thanks!

The 9070 XT or the 5070 are both great picks, but avoid the 5060 Ti; it struggles with 1440p unless you're using DLSS. Stick with the stronger models for the best experience!
If you can find the RTX 5070 Ti at a reasonable price, it’s a good option too. Just make sure it fits your budget!
You can find 9070 XTs on eBay within your budget, and they outperform the 9060 XT by a decent margin. If you're looking for value, that’s the way to go!
For mid-range GPUs, AMD usually offers the best value. The 9060 XT is decent, but I'd recommend checking out the 9070 XT if you can find it. It's your best option under $750!
I’m eyeing that 9060 XT OC for $586. Do you think it’s worth it?
Consider the RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti. Both are solid options for your needs, although the Ti might be a bit over budget right now. Ignore the negative opinions; they pack good performance!
Is the 5070 Ti really that disliked? I just want something that performs well for my setup.
