In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses various graphics cards suitable for 1440p gaming across different budgets. Starting with the RX 5700 XT from the used market priced between $160 to $200, it’s highlighted for its ability to run most titles at 1440p with over 60 FPS on high settings and over 144 FPS for esports titles. However, buying new is recommended for better longevity and driver support. The RX 6650 XT is suggested as a new, more efficient alternative, offering approximately 15% better performance for around $244. Both cards have 8 GB of VRAM, suitable for most current games, though higher VRAM is advised for future AAA titles on ultra settings. The RX 6700 XT is introduced as a significant upgrade costing about $340, providing 12 GB of VRAM and better performance, particularly for AAA games at 1440p. The presenter emphasizes checking specific game benchmarks for detailed performance insights.
