Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • RX 470 around 88% or so IIRC,
  • RX 470, 480, 570, 580 Any of the 4 that OP can get his hands on. Preferably one of the 8GB models. Price/performance they beat anything else as ultra budget cards.
  • RX 470, RX 570, RX 480, RX 580, GTX 1060 are all somewhat similar in performance, GTX 1650 is also an option, but like 25% worse than the other cards... Still a somewhat decent 1080p Budget Option though.
  • Technically it'll handle something like an RX 470 fine. So I'd definitely look at these cards.
  • Because otherwise I'd advise hunting for an RX 470. The 4GB version can be found for 30$. The RX 470 is about on par with a GTX 970 or 1060 (10% slower than 1060). Multitudes better than a 950 or 750ti. They don't even play in the same l...

Cons

  • I’m sure it was driver issues or maybe I just received a bad card but the micro stuttering was insanely bad from what I remember.
