      I would suggest looking into a used Nvidia card instead. Something like an RTX 2080 or 3080 (or one of their variants), depending on your budget. DLSS alone makes these vastly superior to anything AMD has on offer.

          I bought an RTX 2080 last year for around 200 bucks. It’s still very competent at 1440p. There are only a few games that lock away the highest texture settings due to this card only having 8 GB of VRAM.

              A 2080 is still more powerful than base PS5 and Xbox Series X, so it’ll likely do fine for the rest of this console generation.

              What’s the rest of your hardware like? I’m asking, because a slow CPU can rather drastically limit the performance of a GPU.

                I rebuilt just after the pandemic so that’s good, graphics cards were still too expensive though so I kept my college card from the previous build
