I'm trying to decide between the AMD Radeon RX 7600 with 8GB of VRAM and the NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 12GB of VRAM for gaming. My local stores have these models in stock, and I'm primarily interested in playing modded open-world games like the Oblivion remake, Red Dead Redemption 2, and the next GTA. Which one would be better for modern gaming, given their specs and my budget?

Honestly, I got the RTX 3060, and it runs great at 1080p. I get around 90fps in RDR2 with DLSS on. But if you can save up a bit more, it might be worth looking at stronger options down the line for longevity.
Honestly, neither of these cards are worth the price tag at $320. They used to be much cheaper, and the performance isn’t great considering what else is out there. You might want to save for a 7700XT or look at higher tier used cards for better value.
If you’re on a budget, consider other options too. The Intel Arc B580 or even looking for used cards like the RX 6800 with 16GB could provide better performance for your needs.
The RX 7600 is about 15-20% faster than the 3060. However, it has less VRAM and no DLSS. I'd suggest checking out some benchmark videos on YouTube to make a more informed decision.
I'd personally go for the RTX 3060 because it has more VRAM and supports DLSS, which can help improve performance in a lot of games.
