I'm looking to upgrade my PC because I've been getting into Escape from Tarkov, and my current GPU is holding me back. Here are my specs: I have an i5-8500 processor, a B365 pro4 motherboard, 16GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz CL16, a 1050 Ti GPU, a Gen 4 SSD, and a decent air cooler for the CPU. I've done a bit of research and I'm thinking about upgrading to either a used 6600 XT or a 3060. Which one do you think would be better, or is there another option I should consider? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

While both the 3060 and the 6600 XT are great choices, keep in mind that Tarkov really benefits from having a strong CPU. If you can, consider upgrading your CPU as well. I've heard about some awesome deals on AM5 systems that could boost your FPS by up to 50%! But for now, either GPU will definitely improve your gameplay.
Definitely go for the 3060! It's a solid upgrade and should handle Tarkov much better than the 1050 Ti. You'll notice a big difference in performance and frame rates, especially in demanding areas of the game.
I appreciate that! The nearest Microcenter is a bit far for me, but it’s good to know there's potential for even better performance!
