2560x1080 upgrade options?

[Spuddy]

Hi all,

I've recently upgraded my system:

• Ryzen 7700x
• Strix B650e-f
• 32GB DDR5 6000mhz

But now I need a new GPU to accompany it. I was running an RX580, but have just gotten rid of it as it was clearly bottlenecking everything else and running at 100% in pretty much everything I was playing!

I'm still using my EVGA G3 650w PSU, so that's something to keep in mind and I doubt I'll be upgrading my resolution for a while yet. I am also keen to keep FreeSync capability of my monitor too.

What's a sensible option here? Happy to go brand new or 2nd hand.

Thanks!

Budget upgrade from RX580 for 1440p gaming?

I upgraded my monitor and my card is struggling with high settings at 1440p. Rx580 GPU 16gb ddr4 3200 memory Ryzen 3600 processor 650w gold power supply Asus rog strix b450 motherboard I have looked at the rx 6600 and the Intel Arc a750 is it worth it ?

You have lots of good options depending upon your budget. VR and RT may restrict your choices

What's your budget?

But by what you have said, I would go 6700xt/6750xt as 650w is the minimum for that GPU. It's the best GPU for it's price and would last you a while at 1080.

The A750 should be more than good enough for much less money.

Yeah the Intel GPUs are becoming a viable option now for lower midrange cards.

Lots of people are still wary though as they are still so new to the market.

I'll take a look at those thanks, if PSUs weren't so expensive I'd also upgrade that to accommodate a beefier gpu. Dont suppose the lower end 7XXX series are on the horizon anytime soon are they?

Does the A750 support FreeSync on any monitor? Intel GPU is not something I'd considered previously tbh

I know what you mean about the prices of PSU's I have been looking at them for my sons build and your looking at about £100 for a good one.

The lower end 7000 series cards should hopefully be out soon, but not sure when.

agreed with this, the 6750XT is a good 1440P option.

Intel is also starting to become an option.
