Which GPU for £300-ish

[CrawF8]

I'm putting together a pc for my son. He mostly plays Fortnite.
What GPU should I buy in the £250-£350 price range?
Thanks!

What is the refresh rate and resolution of the monitor?

What CPU and power supply does he have?

For 1080p/60, I'd get a RX 6600.

Thanks. I've not built it yet, just collecting the parts.
I5 12400, and 650w power supply.
Monitor TBD.

I5 12400, and 650w power supply.

In that case, I'd consider the 7600 XT 16GB (as close to £300 as possible), or 6700 XT 12GB (same, but it is hard to find).

 

[CrawF8]

Thanks! I'll look into those

I would recommend a used RTX 3070 as it's quite a powerful card for 1080p, they are around £300. It's possible to get one with a warranty.

For that price point, at 1080p/60fps then 4060 is absolutely my recommendation. Quiet, efficient and acces to DLSS and frame generation to punch above its weight.

Close with the 7600 XT but don't be fooled by the larger VRAM as it doesnt really matter with their specs: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-rtx-4060-vs-amd-rx-7600-xt/

Crikey, I was going to recommend a 6700XT but have just seen the prices. The £299.99 plus Starfield deal that I got looks even better now.
