My recommendations for budget priced sub-$200 graphics cards with 8GB of VRAM in April 2023
Even in the wake of the GPU shortage, it still doesn't feel like a great time to be upgrading. New graphics cards are more expensive on average, and yet game development might have you feeling like you're being left behind. There are some great options for those looking to upgrade their old GTX 1060s and 1650s without spending over the odds, and in this video I'll talk about a few of the best.
