I upgraded from a GTX 1060 6GB to an RTX 3060 12GB a couple of years ago, but I was really disappointed because I didn't notice any performance improvement. Now, I found a local deal for a 2080 Ti at $200, and I'm debating whether it's a good upgrade or not. Would it be worthwhile, considering my past experience?

You might not have gotten a defective 3060, but check benchmarks specific to your setup. It's possible you're experiencing a CPU bottleneck.
The 2080 Ti is roughly 50% faster than the 3060, so if you're looking for a boost, that could be a solid choice. Just make sure it fits well with your system!
Going from a 1060 to a 3060 should definitely have shown more performance. Make sure to check your CPU and other components—bottlenecks can really hold back your GPU.

Yeah, make sure you're not running into CPU limitations. I had the same issue when I upgraded!
