Hi first post here,
I greet the whole community.
I would like to "refresh" my system with a new video card, for gaming :)
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 OC Edition 6 GB GDDR6

Gaming at 1920x1080 resolution, MONITOR MSI Optix G241 Esports Gaming IPS Monitor - 23.8 Inch, 16:9 Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS, 144Hz

My specs:
CPU i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz
GPU: GeForce RTX 2060 OC Edition 6GB GDDR6
RAM: 32GB DDR4
MOBO: MSI z390 A pro
POWER: COOLERMASTER MWE 650W v2 full modular GOLD atx 80 plus
CASE Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower Case

I would like to know if, with a budget of 300, 420 EURO , I can find a better card than the one I have installed.
If I will have benefits or may have a bottleneck, and if it is worth upgrading.
I intend to keep this PC for at least 3 more years.
thanks for your help.

Yep, RTX 4060 or RX 7600 at the low end. RX 7600 XT 16GB is basically the same as an RX7600 with double the RAM. Only useful in a handful of situations. RX 6750 XT would be a decent choice as well.

Maybe squeeze in an RX6800 depending on how big your case is and what power supply you have.

Depending on where you live, a Rtx 4060/oc would be a good bump up for fps at around $300.
Thank you for your answer.
On Amazon I see that there are many, in your opinion among the various models and brands, which is the one with the best frequency and maybe even silent? as a better brand and model I mean.

ty. i have a

In your opinion, again for 1920x1080, which one is the best in terms of performance among all those mentioned? as a card and as the best brand

My friend he offers me an RTX 3080 OC 10GB GDDR6X, used for 2 years for 450 euros. Do you think it's a good deal?

Still need to know your power supply. I can assume it can run a 2060 so we have that information, but if you want to go bigger it may not be enough.

Italy, your best choices are still the 6750XT 12GB at 400 Euro, 4060Ti 8GB at 422 Euro, but more reasonably would be an RTX 4060 at 320 Euro or RX 7600 at 289 Euro

I would lean towards the RTX 4060 if you are familiar with Nvidia.

That is plenty for the cards listed.
very very ty.
I'm sorry if I bother you with one last doubt, my friend.

For RTX 4060 in my country on amazon I have these choices.
https://www.amazon.it/s?k=RTX+4060&...id=3QHX7KBD4JBNS&sprefix=rtx+4060+,computers% 2C310&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

In your opinion which is the best between GYGA MSI etc?

and for the above post, my friend who a and offers me an RTX 3080 OC 10GB GDDR6X, used for 2 years for 450 euros. Do you think it's a good deal?
i I intend to keep this PC for another 2-3 years, the card it offers is already 2 years old. I'm sure it wasn't used for mining. what's your opinion? Would I use this card on my system or is it too much?

This by far and away the best performer of those mentioned. Is it worth 450$ though. Maybe, as long as he hasn't been abusing it.

Most of the cards mentioned will be able to max out most games at 1080p.

However, if you ever change to a 1440p monitor, then that narrows the field a little. The 380 new seems to be coming in about 550$, at least as far as I can see doing a check on Amazon.

About the normal price for a 3080. 650W PSU is a little small for a 3080 at 320W max draw. You could set a lower power limit and it would still well outperform all the cards we have listed.

In terms of longevity, it will still be capable of gaming for the next 5 years at least.

Very thank you to all, BEST forum ever!

I finally decided to follow your advice. I'll get an RTX 4060 today.
However I'm a little confused there are billions :D of versions of this card. :)

I read that the best are the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 8GB Twin Edge OC, for example or other like also the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 4060 OC Edition 8GB, and other brands.

in terms of performance in your opinion, what are the 2 best choices which one should I take as the rtx 4060? taking into account that I would also like something SILENT :D if possible.

They are all similar. Particularly the dual fan versions. Typical to just go with the cheapest one. Not usually a lot of heavy scrutiny on the entry level GPUs.

If you pick up an MSI one you might need one less RGB control software, assuming the card has RGB, or your motherboard for that matter.

You may want to double check GPU length if you look at any of the triple fan ones. Really overkill for such a small GPU though.

I would stay away from Gigabyte cards they have been dodgy lately IMHO. Any other 4060 brand is fine. You can buy a base model, download and install MSI Afterburner and overclock it to match any overclocked model that costs more.

I've always gone with MSI, EVGA (RIP) and ASUS. All worked great. Unfortunately - EVGA was the only one with very responsive service.
