Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for the best budget-friendly graphics card to use for gaming at 1080p. Right now, I have the RX 6800 with 16GB priced at around $300, and I'm also considering the RTX 5060 for about $350. I know the AMD card generally outperforms the NVIDIA one, but I'm a bit concerned about how well it will perform in upcoming games once support runs out. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for a really budget-friendly option, I saw the 9060 XT suggested, but it's about $480, which seems above your budget. Maybe not the best fit for you now.
I’ve heard the Intel B580 is one of the better budget options, but I guess it's not available in every region. It might be worth checking out locally if you can find it.
Sadly, it's not an option for me here.
What’s your CPU? I’ve heard that some Intel options might also be worth checking out for budget builds.
I've got a Ryzen 5 5600.
Are you considering the RTX 5060 with 8GB or 16GB? The memory could make a difference depending on the games you plan to play.
I'm looking at the 8GB version for now.
How about looking for a used 3080? You might find one for a decent price, though I'd expect it to be closer to $400. It's a solid choice if you're okay with used gear.
I'm pretty new to building PCs and would prefer to avoid used cards.
Yeah, that's definitely out of my price range. I need something cheaper!
