Wanna upgrade my PC, needs advice on GPU

Posted by Yannerrins@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Hi!

I have a PC with Intel Core i5-10400F + GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER + 16 gb of RAM.
I wanna upgrade my GPU, but don't wanna touch CPU or motherboard. At least for now.

I have two choices: RTX 5060 and RTX 3060.
5060 is newer and theoretically - more powerful in games. But 3060 have 12 gb of memory (against 8 gb in 5060) and should be way more comparable with my old CPU and motherboard.

So - what should be a reasonable choice for me?

3060 for a better balance, 5060 for access to better dlss and mfg.

You need Vram to have performance, but you also need the performance to be able to enjoy all the Vram.

Imo, performance should be the deciding factor, not Vram. Plus, with a 5060, you're most likely playing in 1080p, so generally you should be fine, heck, throw some upscaling in there if you're hitting the limit.
