Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card because I feel like my current one is dragging me down. I mainly play CS2 on lower settings and really want to boost my framerate. Here are my current specifications: CPU is an Intel Core i7-9700K, and I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB for graphics. I have 16 GB DDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz, with an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming motherboard and a Corsair RM750x power supply (750W, 80+ Gold, modular). My budget is between 350 to 450 euros. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Keep in mind that CS2 on low settings can often be limited by your CPU, so double-check that you're actually GPU-bound. If you do decide to upgrade to something like the RX 9060 XT, just know you might still hit a CPU bottleneck, especially during intense action.
You should definitely consider upgrading that slow 2133 MHz RAM to a 3200 MHz CL16 kit. As for your GPU, an RX 9060 XT with 16 GB would be a solid choice for your setup! It'll give you a nice boost.
I typically see around 180-200 FPS when I'm just standing still, but it drops to 90-110 FPS when things heat up with smoke and mollies. So I guess it's a mix of both! Thanks for the advice!
