I'm currently using a 1050Ti (not sure how it's still going strong) paired with my R5 3600. I'm looking for a solid GPU upgrade in the €200-300 range that can smoothly run games like BM Wukong and Elden Ring at 1080p. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a 6700 XT available where I live as they are out of stock. Some options I've thought about include the RX 7600 8GB, the 3060 12GB, and the B580 12GB. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For 1080p gaming, all the GPUs you've listed should work just fine with your R5 3600. I used to pair my 3600 with a 1080 Ti and it was a solid combo, even at 1440p! If you're looking for performance, I recommend the Arc B580 since it's best for gaming. The 3060 is great too, especially if you want DLSS for some extra performance. Just keep in mind the RX 7600 has less VRAM, which might not be ideal for every game.
If you can hold out just a bit longer, saving up for the 9060XT 16GB for around €350 might be worth your while. You'll want to future-proof your setup, and the FSR4 support can really make a difference in performance as you keep gaming.
I wanted to do a quick upgrade, but if the performance is really that much better, I might just save up for the 9060XT!
Thanks for breaking that down! I think I'll lean towards the B580 since they're all priced similarly, except for the 7600 which is the cheapest.
