My brother’s birthday is coming up and I’d like to upgrade his gtx 1050 ti, but want a second opinion on what I should upgrade to.

I am considering the rtx 4060 which is $296.06 USD where I am. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the rtx 40 series GPUs, especially the lower-end ones, but as far as I know the complaints are about the price compared to the performance, and as far as I know, this is the best price to performance GPU in my area.

His current specs include:

  • I3 12100f
  • 32GB of 3200MHz ram
  • 550W PSU
  • B660 Mobo (which does have PCIE 4.0)
  • 1440p Monitor

Some other GPU prices in my area include:

  • Rtx 2070 for $210.87 USD
  • Rtx 3050 for $222.05 USD
  • Rtx 3060 for $288.66 USD
  • Rx 6500 xt for $207.24 USD
  • Rx 6600 for $247.95 USD
  • Rx 6650 xt for $347.88 USD
  • Rx 6750 xt for $400.10 USD
