[SOLVED] Radeon cards?

[dohc97]

I upgraded my 9 year old PC just 3 days ago. These are the new parts I got:
AMD 3700x
G.skill 32 gigs ram
ASrock B550 mobile
Loan Li 205 case

These are the parts that I salvaged from the old PC:
Corsair 850w PSU
SSD
2 HD
Old GPU, can't remember, 570 something

I am looking to get that GPU upgraded, just don't know what to get. I don't game, but I do a lot of photo editing. I'd like to keep the new GPU in the $300 range.

Thanks.

There are tons of cards that will handle photo editing for under $300. My wife is a photographer using Photoshop, Lightroom, and other professional photo editing solutions. I put a GTX 1050 ti in her machine just a year or so ago, and it handles the workload without any issue. Just make sure whatever you select is compatible with you mobo... Here's a link to the card i put in her machine..

You did say Radeon, so the card comparable to the 1050ti would be the Radeon rx580 for example:

I have an RX580, and do LOTS of photo editing/CAD/video.

This Sapphire card got me interested.

Before I posted here, I was actually looking at this Sapphire 5600 XT card.

Unless you are a pro that does editing for a living and time = money, I would not bother spending more money on a newer video card. The CPU should be plenty to do editing jobs without adding GPU acceleration.

RX 580 it is then.

Thanks.
