Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice. I bought my gaming PC about three years ago with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. I primarily enjoy playing J/RPGs and life simulation games like Story of Seasons, Final Fantasy, and Baldur's Gate 3. I'm contemplating whether I should upgrade my graphics card. I've been eyeing the 5060 Ti or 5070 Ti but honestly, I don't know much about building PCs. What do you think?

What monitor resolution are you using? If youโ€™re gaming at 1440p, a 5060 Ti should handle your games just fine, but it will definitely have more longevity if you're playing at 1080p. The 5070 Ti is a powerhouse and should keep you set for many years!

Honestly, if youโ€™re satisfied with how your current setup performs, you might not need to upgrade. The best approach is to consider your gaming experience: if youโ€™re noticing issues or lag, it might be worth looking into an upgrade. What other specs do you have in your PC? Thatโ€™s also a factor!

TechWhiz101: Iโ€™ve upgraded my RAM to 64GB and have an Intel i9-11900F processor along with 954GB of storage. I have been playing games like Clair Obscur, and they look pretty rough and run a bit jumpy.
