Hey folks! I'm trying to figure out the best GPU options for my two computer systems. My main system has a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060 Super, and 16 GB of RAM, while my second one features a Ryzen 7 3700x, GTX 1070, and also 16 GB of RAM. I'm currently looking to keep my gaming at decent 1080p performance for titles like LoL, CS2, and newer games like AC and GoW.
A friend is selling a GTX Titan X Pascal for €150, but I've also found some other interesting options: an RTX 2070 Super for €170, an RTX 2080 Ti for €250, and new cards like the RTX 5060 and Intel Arc B580 for around €300. I'm considering selling one of my existing GPUs to offset the costs. Which of these options do you think would be worth it for the next few years, possibly until the 2030s? Thanks for your help!

I would actually look at the RX 9060 if you haven't. Just be aware that the cheapest 8GB variant is €340, which seems a bit steep for what you get. The 16GB version is €440, but that's considered to be a better investment if you're going to use it long-term.
I'd suggest going for the RTX 5060. It's a newer model that outperforms the 2080 Ti by about 5% in regular gaming and does even better in ray tracing performance, plus it supports frame generation. It's definitely worth the extra cost if you can swing it!
That's a good point! Have you looked into the prices for the 9060 XT 8GB? The cheapest I've seen is around €340, but a lot of people are avoiding it due to VRAM concerns.
Yeah, I’ve heard mixed things about the 8GB. Seems like everyone is recommending the 16GB for the longevity.
