    Hi Guys,

    Looking for some recommendations for a good GPU for a build with following spec ...

    Motherboard: MSI B450 AM4 Tomohawk Max
    CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor
    Case: NZXT H510 Mid-Tower PC Case
    RAM (Memory): TEAMGROUP T-Force RGB DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz


    ** It will be mainly used for music recording, Photoshop, web development, coding, so not too graphics intensive but would like a good, reliable GPU.


    Thanks in advance for any help

    NVidia 1660Ti or 2060.

    Why? If all you need is to drive a monitor or two, you should not pay more than 50 euro. Like this.

    Cheers for help so far lads, I wouldn't mind spending €100-€200 for something half decent. I'm not into gaming, but there will be intensive photoshop/graphics work done on it .....

    Any other ideas?

    A 2060KO would be the ideal AFAIK - you might get one secondhand when the madness ends. It's specifically the KO you want - some shenanigans with the chip makes them excellent for serious applications that use CUDA acceleration.

    I wonder if the photoshop/graphics work here will actually really leverage a gpu? If not then some "cheap" fanless card with enough of the right outputs, otherwise I'd say the music recording angle means you want to make sure it has fan-stop. Up to €200 and buying new I'd guess a 1650 super with fan-stop (do they exist) would be as good as it gets.
