I have the Asus ROG STRIX B360-F gaming and was wondering what graphics card under 300.00 with 8 GB and preferably by Sapphire cause I never had any issues with that brand. Thanks.
 
Solution
Is an owner of a Sapphire 580 i understand why you like Sapphire cards.

Unfortunately sapphire only makes amd cards. Amd doesnt make any card around $300. You either would have to get the 8gb rx5700 for $375 or go for an inferior amd rx590 8gb for around $200.

The 2060 outperforms the 590 by a lot. The 5700 outperforms the 206 by a fair bit.
For 1080p/60Hz ? How about getting the RX 5700 or an RTX 2060 Super GPU ? Do you also have a compatible PSU with you ? Though, I'm not sure whether you can get these cards within 300 of your budget.

Which currency is that ? USD ?
 
Now I'm not a die-hard gamer, but the newer games are pushing the graphics card I have now which is a few years old. Also I would like to stick with Sapphire cards cause I have never had problems with them.

To run really hot and loud. Like just 5 min ago the rx5700 sapphire pulse cards went out of stock.
