I’m looking for a new GPU, finally upgrading my 1060 12gb. I have a £600 budget, would like it to be fairly modern and atleast 12gb vram, anything over 128 bitrate too.

Let me know your current GPU if it meets specs, and what your opinion of it is!

I’ve been considering the Intel Arc A770 but a bit nervous about the drivers

    These are your options for your requirements:

    Pretty much the 6800XT at a good price or a 6800. That is about it. A770 is good if you don’t play any older (like pre 2012) games and don’t mind some things breaking sometimes.

    Maybe a 3070 16 gb version if you really really really need CUDA.

    That specific price bracket and specs are sparse

      Hmm I do tend to play older games more often then new ones, so maybe intel isn’t as good as an option as I thought.

      Will look into the 6800xt

    Been pretty happy with my month old Radeon RX 7800XT. 16GB VRAM, holds its own in Starfield and Cyberpunk (ooh the raytracing…), and haven’t had any issues with it.

    Looks to be around £550 there.

    Not my GPU but my friend’s. He has nothing but good things to say about it. $600 USD which translates to ~£540, but obviously buying it over there the price might be different .

      Turns out to be £616 on UK Newegg but that isn’t so bad, will need to check it’s compatible with my system and power draw isn’t too much, but thanks will look into this one!
