Hi all

I have spent the past week trying to decide on a card and I simply cannot reach a decent conclusion - too many choice out there.

I'm upgrading from an R9 380 - I play some guys but not major. Currently Division 2, Forza 7 and WoW.

Where should I be looking? I've lookd at the below but there are so many versions of them I'm still lost!
- RX 5600 XT
- RX 5700 XT
- 1660 Super OC
- 2060 KO

I'm going to get a Ryzen 3600 - my main monitor is 2560x1440 (60hz) and I also play on a 4k TV - but on the TV I usually set the res to 1080p.

Ok. Well, the 5700XT will be the fastest out of all models listed, though I don't think I've seen them go for £250 - as mentioned in your title. Maybe that was a typing error.

Make sure your PSU is in good shape.

I've not found the 5700XT go for 250 - that was just a list of cards I've looked at. I realise now the post might have been misleading..

I don't know if its worth spending the extra for what I play...

5700XT is the fastest of the batch and you can get the XFX THICC III (dont get the II) for £345 these days.
Otherwise 5700 even reference model (don't flash to 5700XT the ref model). You can find these between 280-300.
Bellow that 5600XT.

Used V64 (avoid Strix & reference model), or V56.
FYI you can buy a V64 Red Devil for £180 used these days, one has 4h left under the hammer....

Ofc you need some good PSU....
