I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 3 3100 to a Ryzen 5 5600X and I’m looking for some solid graphics card options. I’m mainly interested in AMD cards, particularly the RX 9070, but I’ve read about some potential bottlenecks with it. If you have experience, what would you recommend? I currently have a GTX 1660 OC in my build, but I’d like to know what else could be a good fit!

Don’t stress about bottlenecks too much! Just go for the best graphics card that fits your budget. The Ryzen 5 5600X has plenty of power to keep up with most GPUs unless you’re targeting ultra-high frame rates.
Honestly, the best card you can buy is usually the way to go. If you’re playing at 1440p, you might hit limits with your GPU anyway, so don’t overthink it too much!
A few things to consider:
1. What’s your actual budget?
2. Why not keep an open mind about different brands? You shouldn’t just stick to one.
3. What resolution are you gaming at? This will impact your choice a lot.
My budget is around $500 or about 20k-30k peso. I prefer AMD because I’m looking to switch to Linux, and I like their software support better than Nvidia’s, plus I don’t want to deal with needing a Gmail account for GeForce Experience. I’m gaming on a 1080p 144Hz monitor.
