I'm currently using an RTX 2060 which is running pretty hot (60-97°C) and I'm experiencing some lag, especially when I enable shaders in Minecraft. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
- GPU: RTX 2060 6GB
- RAM: 32GB 6000 MHz
- PSU: Not sure about the specifics, but it doesn't get warm to touch, so I assume it's okay.
- Motherboard: B650 Eagle AX
- Cooling: 9 fans (6 for intake and 3 for exhaust)
I'm considering upgrading to an RX 9060 XT or possibly waiting to see how much the Intel Arc B770 will cost after its release. Any suggestions?

For your budget, you might want to consider the RTX 4070 or the RX 6700 XT, both of which should give you a noticeable performance boost without breaking the bank. Just make sure to check your PSU’s wattage since some cards require a bit more juice. Also, you said your PSU doesn't have labels, so it might be worth upgrading it first if it's not a reliable unit.
I'd recommend the RX 9060 XT if you're all set on it, especially since it fits within your budget and is priced at around $520 in your area. It would be a solid upgrade, and you might see better performance in games like Minecraft. Just keep an eye on those temperature levels!
If you're facing high temps with the RTX 2060, it might be good to invest in a new PSU before going for a GPU upgrade. A quality modular PSU could really help with stability and can be easier to manage cables inside your case, plus it might help with the overheating issue. Brands like Corsair or Seasonic are usually reliable.
