Question New Builder looking for best GPU for 1440p Triple Monitor iRacing – Budget Under $1,500 ?

[RS1775]

Hey everyone,

I’m building my first PC and need help choosing the best GPU for iRacing on triple 1440p monitors. I’m not very tech-savvy, so I want to make sure I’m getting the right card that will give me smooth performance with high settings and solid frame rates. My budget for the GPU is under $1,500, and I’m looking to buy now.

Here’s my build so far:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
• Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
• Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0

I’ve been considering the Asus TUF GAMING OC Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB, but I see it listed for $1,538.88+, which seems really expensive for an older card. Is this price even worth it for the performance, or is there a better option at this budget? Why is it still so expensive?

Since this is my first build, I’d really appreciate any guidance on what would work best. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Assuming you're located within the USA, you can look into this;

You should in turn pair this PSU with your build;

With the leftover funds, you could also swap the CPU to a 7800X3D.

GPU prices are pretty terrible right now, if you can wait a few weeks it may be worth it, depending on the availability of the RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 ti.

Depends if you want ray tracing or not. Only options would really be the 4090
