I currently own a Zotac amp 2060 on my personaly rig with a ryzen 3600 and a 1080p monitor

Although i am quiet happy with the card's performance rn i feel like with 6gb vram i am missing out on better frames and with games like Starfield i might not be able to enjoy them to the max

That being said i wanted to upgrade to something like a 3070 or above for better frames and some ray tracing if possible
I've seen some decent deals and am really tempted to get some but ill have to sell my 2060 for that

I do not plan on upgrading my 1080p monitor atm and just the card, alternatively i can swap my brother's 3060 and give him the better card as he uses a 1440p monitor

What do you guys think i should do? Hold on for a while or try to sell my 2060 and get a better card (used)
 
all Nvidia 3xx cards are useless (except 3080 12GB and the 3090) now, mainly due to low VRAM. Go with 6700XT or 6800XT. I switched from 3070 Ti to 3090 (used one, I got 66k here on the forum) for proper 1440p gaming with RT on.

For1440p gaming with RT/FSR on, you need a 6800XT but do check if your brother's CPU is not a bottleneck.

Thank you for the input, after a bit of searching and thinking i decided on the 6800xt for my upgrade
The 16gb vram should help in more demanding titles!
Also i head a lot of issues with nvidia vram temps being high and from experience i deduced that they could potentially lead to the card's death, plus with amd drivers maturing really well, it was an obvious choice!
 
I have a 3070. Forget about RT at this performance class with how games are getting, 6750XT is a better buy & will last longer better because of 12GB VRAM.

R5 3600 will bottleneck a 6750XT though. R5 5600 will be a good upgrade.

Used market - your call if you want to go there.
