I’ve got a 2060 gpu in my desktop and I want to upgrade to atleast a 3060. I’ve been using pc partpicker to check compatibility. Is there anything else I need to check before I buy a new card? Like I’ve got a Asus B560-plus motherboard and it seems that the 3060 card is compatible. Anybody got advice on any other sites or software to check so I don’t fuck it up? I’ve replaced most things on my pc except gpu and motherboard.
Seconding @theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world, don’t accidentally sleep on AMD GPUs - they offer better performance dollar-vs.-dollar than Nvidia; are much better supported in Linux (if you ever get sick of Windows 11), and you also wouldn’t be rewarding the biggest architect of the current PC component pricing crisis!
In terms of what to check for, compatibility wise:
Either way, happy gaming!
Yea but some things nvidia is better for as far as i know Like Video editing etc
Given the price bracket, I would be surprised if OP was doing anything more than gaming - but for general video editing, the 9060XT would out-perform the 3060 Ti. Only once applications start heavily demanding CUDA cores (Adobe suite, predominantly After Effects), would the GeForce card pull away.
Not just performance per dollar but also performance per watt.
I just game and watch media. With some 3d modeling on fusion 360 but my current graphics card handles most of that fine it’s just like arma and stalker 2 I’d like my system to be able to run them better
A 3060 is not going to run STALKER 2 much better than your current GPU. The problem there is unreal engine 5. You really need to be getting the most current generation for this, specifically, and definitely not a 5 year old card.
