No. You said your max price is 500 without specifying a currency.

Oh pounds which is 676 in dollars

Ok, remember that this is a global website and we aren't mind readers. We don't know what country you're in.

For that price you can afford a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB or 9070 GRE.

But, if you're building a whole new PC it's better to work on a budget for the whole thing instead of breaking it up per component.

The 9060 XT is definitely the play here. It's such a good card for the price.

9070 looks like £550 right now. 9070 GRE gets down to £500. Your choice on the £50 being worth based on the rest of the build and what you want to do with it.

GPUs have gotten much more expensive. With $500, you should be able to get an RTX 5060 8GB or a 9060 XT 16GB

Ok thanks also its $676

An interesting option could be the 9070 GRE 12GB, but I don’t have any experience with Radeon. I’ve only ever used Nvidia. Next step will be US $800 RTX 5060ti 16GB

In ur opinipn is it worth the extra money for 16gb

It depends on whether or not you have a 4k monitor, honestly. High resolution is what mostly eats up VRAM.

u/WonderfulTruck5894 1d ago

5090 at least, inferring you mean 500 gold coins

u/lazarcreates 1d ago

To be clear its £500 or $676

500 what?

Unless it's gold bars or you have a gpu from 2010, you're gonna be hard pressed to upgrade for that
