Ray tracing card advice.

[Superflyguyuk]

Hi
I currently own a MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB MECH OC Graphics, on a MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU.
I want to upgrade to a budget card that has ray tracing, as I want to be able to play the new Indiana Jones game, and this is the first AAA game I've been unable to run on my system.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, any other tweaks you could suggest to keep my system up to date?
Rest of my build is as follows.
* CoolerMaster MasterBox TD500 Mesh
* be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W 80 Plus
* Gold Modular Power Supply
* Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit

Thanks.

Your CPU meets the requirements, so just the GPU that's out.

You could go with a 9060 XT 16GB for a modest upgrade at a reasonable cost (~£330), though a 9070 would be even better.

What resolution are you playing games at?

Edit: wow, 9060 XT 16GB gets smashed in HUB's benchmark of that game, though I'd assume you can turn the settings down, to get better playability.

Hi
My monitor is HD only,
23,6 inch
165 Hz
FreeSync
1ms MPRT response time
1920 x 1080
I'm not bothered about 4k or higher etc as I really find it negligible difference (well it is with my eyesight lol).
But I can play pretty much every AAA game such as Cyberpunk on max settings and still get great FPS and fans don't go mad!

Budget cards and Ray Tracing don't really go together.. just saying.

I just need the ray tracing ability at a decent price point purely for future compatibility.

What's your idea of a decent price point?

 

[Superflyguyuk]

I'm hoping between £300-£500.

I'm hoping between £300-£500.

Purely from HUB's benchmark of the game in the video above, I'd say go for a 5070, just because it almost hit 60 fps and I'm assuming you can dial down the settings to make it work.

In most other benchmarks I've seen though, the 9070 is pretty close behind and the extra VRAM is nice to have.

Howeverrrr, in HUB's review of the 9070, they stepped up the resolution to 1440p and the 9070 and 5070 couldn't even achieve 30 fps at the 1440p settings they used. Ouch.

Would be helpful if someone who has played the game can chip in, with what their card is realistically capable of in this game, at a not terrible level of detail.
