Some AMD stuff is kind of cheap rn. You can get the 6700XT For around 340 USD. And it’s good performance wise I think. Granted you are on something where you don’t need it imo. I was on something a lot less powerful which is why I made the plunge.
For budget builds the 6600, 6600 xt and 6650 xt are some other good choices. 6600 seems like the best value (price/performance) GPU right now for ~$180 USD.
I had a 1070ti since 2018 and it has run everything I have purchased just fine.
I thought about checking out this ray tracing stuff the kids are into, but is there a card under $300 that anyone recommends? It also would need to be mini itx as I have a tiny living room gaming PC.
1080 here. I’m really happy with the decision I made years back. Some games are terribly not optimized, but that won’t make me cash out for a new piece of hardware.
And anything that’s actually worth upgrading from my GPU is going to be even bigger and block the front panel pins on my new motherboard I was gifted last year. Yep.
Still rocking my 1070ti. I mostly play overwatch 2 and Minecraft so it works ok for me now. Also I’m broke and can’t afford the upgrade.

Sorry but I’m not sure you’re going to get any good ray tracing experience for less than $300.
AMD probably has the best general use GPU in that price range.
Intel probably has the best (with a big asterisk due to driver and directx issues) gaming GPU in that price range.
It’s just hard to recommend buying a GPU right now imo.
Figured, I am happy with what I got 🙂
