I just upgraded to a 12600k and are looking to upgrade from my gtx 1650 next since I know it’s severely under powered but I’m not sure what to buy. I’m currently looking at the amd rx 7600, rx 7600xt and the rx7700xt which it a little over my budget . I’m open for suggestions but I would prefer to stay off eBay mostly because I just want the card to work.

It’s more convincing my dad to let me buy off eBay

#

I forgot to mention im doing 1080p

#

Then I'd pick up rx 6800. A tier lower, but if 1080p it won't matter much

spiral pike
#

I was looking and I can get a 7700xt for a similar price ;should I go with that one since newer generations theme to be faster

spiral pike
#

In what way

#

And when I said for under 400 I meant 400 as the max I’m willing to spend but I don’t really want to spend 400

#

@hybrid breach

#

But for 1080p that’s not gonna make that much of a difference for me

spiral pike
#

Or the at if I can find it at a good price

#

Will a 850 watt psu be able to handle it

Even with my cpu pulling close to 180

placid imp
#

the most power hungry components are gpu and cpu

#

you‘ll pull around 400 watts

#

it‘s plenty

spiral pike
#

Figured but card I’m looking at doesn’t tell me wattage

spiral pike
# placid imp yep

And would you also agree the rx 6800 would be a good pairing with the 12600k

placid imp
#

especially for the price

spiral pike
#

I’m not going to buy this card but what are thought on rx7600 with my cpu for only 1080p

#

@placid imp

#

Asking more because that was the card I was looking at originally

placid imp
#

both are good for 1080p but the 6800 has a bit more power

#

i'm recommending a used 6800

spiral pike
#

At this point anything is better than my 1650

placid imp
#

that too

spiral pike
#

Although it’s good enough to get by

#

I can run some games at a mix of ultra and high

#

I think it was ghost runner

#

But it’s fine for now I’m more just planning for when I have the money

spiral pike
#

It didn’t preform well paired with my 7400

placid imp
#

7400 what

spiral pike
#

i5

placid imp
#

it‘s age apropriate

#

don‘t see a problem+

spiral pike
#

Maybe it was just the games I was playing

#

But I heard the 1660 super was supposed to be a better match

#

I never borrowed my dads gpu to test tho
