drxenija: Great news everyone! NVIDIA releases RTx 5050 for only $250
Saw it appear in my local store recently!
Finally a card that I can afford!
It is affordable, but is it worth it?

Mixed results as you can read
That is crazy. B580 is about 350$ CAD right now.
I mean RTX 5000s should have excellent DLSS and Ray Tracing.
Nah, i would probably go for the RX 9060 XT OC 16 GB in your case. It is close to 500 CAD but surely a very capable 1080P card, even better than the B580, especially with the new Adrenaline drivers.

In my country i could never get this card so cheap but for you it may look pricey.

Do not go above 1080P, it is just not your budget. Although this card surely can handle some 1440P gaming with reduced settings. You may not want to use much RT but this card got some RT performance which is able to handle many RT titles for certain, at medium RT at least.

There could be even better deals available, i dunno.

Besides: The 9070 XT is about twice the price but not always twice the performance, just in some rare cases. So, it is less bang for the coins, and the 9070 XT is surely a 1440 P card.
