I'm in a bit of a bind with my prebuilt PC. The 4060 Ti has been causing some major issues, like blackscreens and fan revving to 100%. Unfortunately, I ended up overseas and missed my warranty window to get it replaced. I really need a new graphics card that won't break the bank—I'm looking for something around $600 CAD or less. It's important for both gaming and 3D rendering tasks. I've already tried contacting support, reinstalling drivers, and reseating the card, but nothing seems to help. The onboard graphics handle basic stuff but can't manage the workload I want to throw at it. Ideally, I want something comparable or better than the 4060 Ti, which worked fine before it started crashing. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I found a great option for you! The Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC GeForce RTX 5060, which is priced around 450 CAD. It's perfect for 3D modeling tasks like Blender and can handle gaming at 1080p with high FPS. Definitely worth considering!
You might want to consider the 9060 XT. It's within your budget range and has solid performance for gaming and rendering.
If you’re still facing issues, I would recommend checking the GPU's golden fingers and the PCIe slot just to rule out any connection problems. Also, keep an eye on the GPU temps while it's running. You mentioned it only gets to 50°C, which is pretty good, but it's puzzling that it crashes even when idle.
