I'm looking to upgrade my PC's GPU and have a budget of under $350 SGD. In Singapore, prices for GPUs tend to be higher than in the US. I've been researching and found that AMD's RX 6600 and RX 7600 are solid mid-range options, with prices ranging from 300 to 400 SGD. I'm also considering a used RX 6700XT which falls between 200 to 300 SGD, but I'm a bit hesitant about buying second-hand. I came across an ASUS Dual Radeon RX 7600 EVO OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 for 309 SGD, which seems like a great deal. On the NVIDIA side, the only contender I found is the ZOTAC RTX 3050 ECO SOLO, priced at about 310 SGD. I'm leaning towards the RX 7600 due to its performance boost over my broken 1660 Super. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this!

If you can find a used RX 6700XT, that would actually outperform both the RX 7600 and RTX 3050. Buying used GPUs can be a smart move if you're careful!
The RX 7600 is significantly faster than the RTX 3050, offering about 75-80% better performance in most scenarios. It’s a solid upgrade for your budget!
Honestly, go for the RX 7600. It trounces the RTX 3050 in nearly every gaming situation, unless you're using software that relies on CUDA, like some Adobe tools. Otherwise, the 7600 is a no-brainer!
Any other GPU recommendations similar in performance for 1080p gaming? I feel like prices are really high everywhere in SG.
