I'm looking to replace my GTX 1060 6GB with a new graphics card costing roughly €300–€350. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600, and I play at 1080p on a 100Hz monitor. I'm interested in features such as DLSS, ray tracing, frame generation, FSR, AFMF, RSR, and Anti-Lag 2, but I'm mainly interested in finding a good deal from a major retailer rather than buying used. I was told a used "9060 XT" might be the best option, but I'm not sure that model or recommendation is accurate. What cards should I consider in this price range?

A brand-new card in this budget may not offer a huge selection, but an RTX 4060 is a sensible match if DLSS, ray tracing, and frame generation are your priorities. It will work well with the Ryzen 5 5600 and should be a substantial upgrade over the GTX 1060. If you’re comfortable buying used, an RTX 3080 could provide stronger performance, while an RX 6800 XT would offer excellent raster performance and access to AMD’s features.
One card won’t provide every feature on your list. DLSS is Nvidia-specific, while AFMF, RSR, and Anti-Lag 2 are AMD technologies, so you’ll need to decide which feature set matters most. For a new purchase focused on Nvidia features, look for an RTX 4060 around your target price; for maximum performance per euro, compare it with the RX 6750 XT and Arc B580.
The “9060 XT” recommendation sounds like an error or hallucination, so I’d double-check the exact model before buying. For a new card, the Intel Arc B580 is also worth considering in this price range. It can perform around the RTX 4060 Ti level in some games, supports XeSS, and includes modern frame-generation features. Just make sure your motherboard’s resizable BAR support is enabled, since Arc cards benefit from it.
An RX 6750 XT is another good option if you care more about traditional gaming performance than DLSS. It generally offers stronger rasterization than an RTX 4060, although you would be using AMD’s FSR and AFMF rather than Nvidia’s DLSS. At 1080p and 100Hz, any of these choices would be a major improvement over the 1060.
