I'm currently gaming at 1080p with a refresh rate of 144Hz and don't plan to change my setup anytime soon. I'm mainly looking for advice on whether upgrading from an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB of VRAM to a 9060XT with 16GB would be a worthwhile investment, especially since I use my rig primarily for gaming. Any insights on potential performance improvements and if I should also consider upgrading my RAM would be greatly appreciated!

Upgrading could definitely improve your experience, especially if you're looking for longevity. Just curious, what’s pushing you to upgrade your GPU? That’ll help figure out if it’s a smart move or not.
The 9060XT is approximately 60% faster than the 3060, and your Intel Core i7-11700F CPU should pair nicely with it without bottlenecking. It sounds like a solid upgrade, especially for your gaming needs!
Mainly to future-proof my PC. I'm also considering adding 16GB of extra RAM, but I'm unsure if that's a good idea since I already have 16GB. The market prices are all over the place!
