Currently have a nvidia RTX 2060 , what is the cheapest option to be able to run newer (unreal engine) games on not low quality...?

Also does GB matter on cards? 8 vs 16?
looking at the rtx 4060 ti currently...

If you must go for a GPU upgrade, I'd suggest you go for the RTX4070 Super if you're able to.

Where are you located, what is your budget for a new card(since the terms cheapest and budget are a relative term) and preferred site for purchase?

What are your current system specs? Please list them like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Wait until new GPUs launch this Christmas.

Or pickup a 4060 right now. Not the Ti, just the vanilla. Ti costs more but doesn't perform much better.
8Gb of VRAM is good enough for most games but MODS will eat up VRAM. So if you're playing modded games, start saving money for a 16Gb GPU.

I am asking/just saying that don't AMD CPU report differently such that where Intel is its reported temp that AMD is actually degrees to bad temps?

When you run this is that number going down or up as the CPU (logically) heats?

Basically just throwing an idea at to see if it sticks.
