Upgrade Advice

[Justnotsleeping]

Currently I have a Gigabyte GTX 1650 Super Windforce OC 4GB which is ok for things which are not too demanding but playing new games like AC Valhalla makes the frame rates suffer a unless i turn down settings. Using a 1440p VA monitor (refresh rate up to 144hz)
Also with the likes of Cyberpunk and Far Cry inbound over next few months would like to have something to run these well.

Obvious choice for me is a RTX 3070 or the new Radeon 6800 when they are released. However, given that RTX 3070's are as rare as unicorn poo and I would expect the Radeon 6800 to be the same, realistically I'm not going to be able to get hold of one of these until well into next year.

I figure that maybe I just don't worry too much about that and get a card that will be decent to tide me over but still better than I have now (and save me money by spending £300 instead of £550!), especially given I have just shelled out and am in the queue for the new Ryzen 5800

Any suggestions for a medium term card for around £300-350...ish!

My initial thoughts were the Radeon 5600XT or RTX 2060

Thanks

3070s aren't that rare. Almost every day somes card pop on different retailers. Just keep an eye on all of them and within a week I'm sure you'll get one...

I got a 3070 FE just by keeping an eye on the nvidia site. Just got to be patient

I've given up on getting a FE card...I think they seem to have stopped selling them! They need to start making more of their own cards avaialble.
