A new GPU could make a huge difference for you. Have you set a budget? If you're leaning towards Nvidia, the 5060 is a solid choice, but if you’re open to AMD, the 9060XT is fantastic too. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.
If you’re really looking to boost your graphics performance, I’d recommend considering a 6700 XT. It’s a noticeable upgrade over your current card. Alternatively, if you’re considering sticking with Nvidia, you might check out the 5060 series as well. Don't forget about your RAM; some newer games benefit from having more than 16GB.
Would the Asrock RX 7060 be a good option instead?
Focus on upgrading your GPU first; it’s likely the biggest bottleneck in your setup. The 3050 is outperformed by older cards like the 2060, so upgrading there will yield the best results. Depending on pricing, you could look at several options in the $200-500 range for a strong upgrade. Also, consider getting an additional 16GB RAM kit if you're playing demanding games.
What about the Asrock RX 7600? Would that fit better in my budget?
