[SOLVED] Upgrading from 1060 6gb to 3060 12gb

[Mahmoed Ghazi]

Doesn’t is worth it to upgrade from 1060 6gb to Palit NVIDIA RTX 3060 Dual 12GB GDDR6 ..
ram 16gb
CPU ryzen 5 3600xt
Mb b450
PW 700

Depends what you play, but almost certainly yes.

1280 cuda cores -> 3584 cuda cores (Same as the GTX1080Ti, plus more and faster memory)

I play mostly fps games like apex legends and cod

Absolute maximum FPS at 720p low settings is going to be limited by your CPU, so if that is the goal, then it doesn't make a lot of sense.

You should be able to increase the game settings or run at a higher resolution and probably still see some FPS improvement. Maybe flip ray tracing on your non-FPS titles.

Don’t understand

You've only provided half the information. What games you play, somewhat non-specific there as well. Resolution and settings and your goal are another matter.

Some people play first person shooters with minimal settings to achieve maximum FPS. This is CPU dependent.

Some people play at 1080p, some at 1440p, some at 4K. Faster your GPU, the higher your frame rate at a higher resolution. GPU dependent.

If you are already achieving 60FPS on a 1080p 60hz monitor, and you are satisfied, then upgrading won't get you much.

If you are running medium or high settings, 3060 would probably let you run ultra with high levels of antialiasing, getting a better picture while maintaining FPS. You can turn on super sampling and render the game at a higher resolution that is then downscaled to your resolution.

Ray tracing and DLSS become options with RTX cards. RT is very resource intensive but adds extreme realism to lighting. DLSS is actually a performance saver, by using an algorithm to render some content at lower resolutions and then upscaling using AI.

The GPU is capable of more work, what work is up to you.
