Hi everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my GPU to play Unreal Engine 5 titles at 1080P and at least 60 FPS. My budget is £500. Here are my current specs: I'm using an Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 (6GB) for my graphics, with an Intel i5-11400F CPU, an ASUS H510M-A motherboard, 16GB DDR4 RAM (which I plan to upgrade to 32GB), a Corsair CX550M PSU, and a Kingston SNVS1000G SSD. Any suggestions on what GPU to get?

For the best 1080p experience, I think you'll want a better CPU too. But you could opt for the 9060XT 16GB and run games in a 'super resolution'—essentially rendering at 1440p but displaying it on a 1080p monitor. This setup worked great for me, and I consistently hit 60+ FPS even with demanding games like Space Marine 2.
If you're willing to stretch your budget a bit, you could look at the RTX 5070 for just over £510, or the 9060XT 16GB at around £380.
I would recommend considering the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which should be priced around £470-480. Also, make sure to check if your PSU can handle the new GPU!
I've been gaming on PC for years, and I've never heard of 'super resolution' before! That's really interesting. I'm not sure my budget can stretch for a new CPU though since I'm already upgrading my RAM, and those prices are crazy right now.
