Upgrading from an RTX 3060 12GB
Posted by Randomaccount7437@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hello, I currently have an RTX 3060 12GB single-fan paired with a Ryzen 7 5700G and 32GB of DDR4. I want to upgrade, but I don't know what would be a good upgrade, preferably under $250 USD. Power should not be an issue, as I have a 700W PSU, nor should space, as I have plenty of room left inside my case.

Going to sell that 3060?👀

Why do you need to upgrade? What doesn't your system do now that you need it to do? Every upgrade should address a need, otherwise you're just spending money to spend money.

At retail prices and $250 your best option is a Intel Arc B580, although it will only perform 17% better than your 3060, so I wouldn't recommend it. You should be able to find a used GPU like a 3070 for that price that will perform 48% better.
Would you be willing to sell your 3060 12GB to add to your budget? I think a 3060 should go for about $200 on like FB marketplace (could be off a bit). With that you could easily get a 9060XT 16GB which has an MSRP of $350 and will be 60% faster than your 3060 12GB. Unfortunately the next stage up is the 9070 at $550 but that would be a huge upgrade.

250$ is the same price as a 3060 lol i dont think there would be many good options. only one would be a 9060 xt 16gb but that’s about $100 more

No upgrades I would recommend with $250.

There's is no card that's faster for 250USD.

Best options in that price range are used rx 6750 xt or rx 6700 xt.
