Looking to upgrade my GPU (lemmy.world)

During the pandemic, I rebuilt my computer but with GPU prices being insanely inflated, I decided to limp along with my old GPU (a GeForce GTX 760). The issue is that I have a 4k monitor and my current card can barely handle my desktop, never mind a game.

I have heard that prices are coming back down to a sane level, so I am looking for part suggestions. I am not looking to play new games or ultra high settings, but I would want to at least be able to handle older/indie games, on medium settings, at a steady 30 FPS.

Have you considered looking at graphics cards which prices are not overly inflated aka not nVidia cards?

Also what's your budget?

Also consider used. I buy basically all my parts used through ebay, for a fraction of the cost. Never had an issue. (And if I did, ebay and/or my credit card coverage would take care of it.)
