Given that buying a GPU now is a horror show, what would experts recommend for a new build?
I won't be doing any lc0 computing.
Current card it Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost, which I'm happy with in terms of resolution and ports.
GPU recommendation.

Re: GPU recommendation.
Price is definitely an obstacle. I'm looking for functionality of my current 650Ti.

Re: GPU recommendation.
I would advice to buy a used card. And not x050 but 70 or 80 instead.

Re: GPU recommendation.
Why buying a GPU at all? The new AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an integrated GPU that is more powerful than your old one.

Re: GPU recommendation.
For my office machine 1 to 2 TFLOPs and 2 GB VRAM are sufficient, I can also play old game titles with 2K from the 2000s, the new integrated GPUs on CPUs from Intel/AMD/Apple are in the 1 to 2 TFLOPs range, as discrete, used, low-end graphics cards I can recommend the Nvidia GTX 750 and AMD Radeon HD 7750, both in the ~50$ range, worth to mention - Windows 11 will require DX12 capable hardware, and of course - professional workloads require pro GPUs.
***edit***
And beware of GPU scams from some Asian dealers on eBay.

Re: GPU recommendation.
Wow - very impressive for £325 - link!
I'm guessing that would be good enough to give Leela a "reasonable" amount of processing power, right?
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory

"Windows 11 will require DX12 capable hardware"
I assume this means that before upgrading to Win 11, I will have to upgrade my Geforce 650 Ti to a GPU that is DX12 capable?
OK, that is the key point. Here is the list of AMD GPUs that are DX12 capable.

Re: GPU recommendation.
I don't think so because AMD has totally missed the boat of using GPUs for ML. That's an Nvidia-only ecosystem. However, the OP didn't want to use Lc0, that's why the 5700G is a valid option.
