[SOLVED] PC upgrade recommendations

[carrymetrue]

I was considering upgrading graphic card for my current setup, but I'm not too sure what to get. More specifically, what's the best GPU that I can get that wouldn't completely bottleneck my system?

Current Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700
Ram: 16gb ddr4 3000
GPU: Radeon HD 6850 (really old model)

*side note: I was originally considering a rtx 3060ti or a rtx 3060 once it releases. I don't have any restraints regarding my power supply or budget.

I mean 3060Ti would be a great option.
Dont get 3060,that extra 4gb of Vram isnt going to be better in gaming then 3060Ti.
GPU's mostly use max 6-7gb of Vram depending on the resolution,at ultra/on settings.
Those 12Gb of Vram are for like a workstation use rather than gaming.

I have a 1200 watt gold efficiency corsair psu. It's reliable enough for literally everything.

I'm only considering the 3060 cause it's a better value alternative which might factor into my decision making. However, I'm also curious to what's the fastest card that I use without having major bottle necking.

Even the 3090 wouldnt be a problem for a 2700.

That's interesting. Are there any commercial gpus that out perform the 3090?

In gaming,not really.
For workstation use,of course

I see. So in general a RTX 3090 is the best of the best rn. Let's talk about performance for the buck. What gpu would I get the most value from?

Alright, any advice on getting a gpu at retail as of rn? Retailers seems to be constantly out of stock.

I heard that this out of stock thingy for new RTX 3000 is supposed to 'end' around april,but the prices are going to be higher for them after that.
So spam that F5 and good luck.
