[SOLVED] Looking for a graphics card that can run demanding games (Rust, Escape from Tarkov,) at medium settings (and possibly a CPU to pair it with).

Solution
Rust with a 5800x and a 3060 can hit ~150 fps at 1080p
Rust with a 5800x and a 3060 can hit ~100 fps at 1440p

Generally speaking if you are gaming at 1080p, you would want a faster processor, and a modest GPU
As you increase your resolution, you become more reliant on a GPU and less on CPU, so if you choose 1440p or 4k, a 3060ti or 3070 might be more appropriate, but you could pair it with a 5600x.
