I haven’t upgraded my PC in a long time and I’ve always been very frugal when it comes to getting PC parts. While I don’t think I’ll need to upgrade for some time still, I’m curious what y’alls opinion would be on a relatively cheap ($300>) upgrade would be, if one exists at all. Preferably AMD but I’ve heard linux support for Nvidia has improved quite a bit since I last had one.

Thanks to @B0NK3RS@lazysoci.al I realize it would help if I shared the rest of my specs: an MSI AM4 motherboard (I don’t have the model but I believe it’s a B450 or B550 tomahawk), 24 gigs of ram, and a Ryzen 3600 X cpu.

    Thanks. Other people say 6700XT is possible and it’s a good card and will pair nicely with your PC. I’m not in the US so can’t comment on price but even a RX6600XT/6650XT 8GB is great for 1080p as an alternative.

      Yeah I’ll consider both, I don’t see myself going above 1080p anytime soon, but more future-proofing with the higher VRAM is a nice idea.
