I'm currently using a motherboard with a PSCI 3 (if I remember correctly), paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 500 and an RTX 580, which I just realized is actually the RX 580. I want to upgrade to the 9600 XT, specifically the one with 16GB of VRAM. My goal is to run games on high settings at around 60 fps, though I have a 100Hz monitor so achieving 100 fps would be a bonus. I also have a 550W power supply and 32GB of RAM. Does anyone think this upgrade is worth it?

Just to clarify, the 9600 XT is mainly targeted at mid-range performance. For high settings and 60 fps, it should handle most games well, but don't expect it to max out everything with ease. If you're okay with some compromises in very demanding games, it should do fine!
The 9600 XT should be a solid upgrade for your gaming setup, especially with that Ryzen 5 and 32GB of RAM. It will definitely help you hit those high graphics settings at 60 fps. Just make sure your power supply can handle the upgrade, but you seem good with your 550W. Overall, it sounds like a good move!
Are you planning to overclock it? You could push some more performance with the right cooling!
Yeah, I'm more about solid performance than maxing out every setting. Thanks for the heads up!
