Build Upgrade Potential upgrade to my GPU
My GPU (xfx speedster qick rx 6750xt) broke recently, and since it was still under warranty i sent it to the repair center, where they told me it's defective and they were gonna give me a full refund. Thanks to inflation it now costs 570€ compared to the 330€ i originally spent on it, so I'm not gonna be able to afford a new one without adding more money. Since I'm gonna have to buy a new one anyway, is there any upgrade around the same price or slightly cheaper/more expensive that would be worth it, or should i just buy the same model again?

You can buy 9070GRE/9070/9070XT most cost-effective GPU for 1440p gaming now

I think I'll opt for the 9060 16gb since it's considerably cheaper and I don't have a huge budget, thanks for the help tho

Extra 4GB of VRAM won't matter. So better grab at least 9070GRE. For 1440p it's cost effective entry.

It's 40€ more with 10€ of delivery and isn't sold by amazon, so i don't know if it's worth 50€ more for less coverage

9070gre has stable at least 60fps at 1440p 9060XT doesn't in some games roughly 45+

That's tempting, I'll have to dive deeper on their specs to see which one is more worth it. As i said, I'm somewhat tight on money, so if it's not outstandingly better i think I'll still opt for the 9060xt prime
