new low for the a770 asrock card, unfortunately it is 8gb instead of the 16gb but at least it has great cooling.

3060 Ti for ~$470
That would be my pick.
Intel GPUs sit at about the 7600 level at the moment with a wide variation, shifting up towards the 3060 Ti by the day.
Look into the 6650xt or 6700 if you want something around this price but with less features than nvidia.
Imo the ARC gpus are really only better value than amd if you need the vram or AV1, and this one doesnt have the vram
A750 is $199 USD at the moment, so if it hits $320 AUD here it's the bargain (currently $355ish on eBay), and the RTX 4060 Ti is worth it at say $500 max, and that would extend to $375 for the 4060 when it launches.
People will scream about Intel optimisation and how performance varies from 3060 Ti/3070 level right down to just below the 3060, but every time Intel does a dedicated optimisation pass on a game, the A750 hits 3060 Ti levels while having AV1 encode.
Overall IMO it's equal to the 7600 & 6700 from AMD going forward, and surpasses the 6800 in RT. Intel are shaping like the #2 going forward if AMD can't step it up with RDNA4.
there's a part of me that wants to get one of these for fun, it's just unfortunate the 16gb model is so much more expensive.
this or 4060ti?
