I'm basically shopping for this current build's last ever video card. I'm gonna OC my 4770K (3.5GHz) to match a 4790K (4.0 GHz) and OC the memory (unknown specs on that as of yet) to give this build one last contract in it's HOF career.

I didn't feel the need to upgrade from my RX 570 / 24" 1080p monitor as much as we needed another monitor in the house so I went ahead and bought something that would be as future proof as I could afford. Now I'm trying to drive it as effectively as possible under the circumstances.

I don't know what AMD is looking like but as far as nVidia, 2060 is about as middle of the road as it gets. There's only the 1650 and 1660 and its Super/TI variants below it.

Where the AMD 5600 XT stacks up in the series



Where it stacks up among modern cards



The more I think about this the more that the 5600XT seems like the right option for the current computer.
