Hey everyone! So yesterday my graphics card just stopped working out of nowhere, and after a long saga with customer support, it seems like it's truly dead. I can still use my computer for streaming videos, but gaming is off the table now. I previously had an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 in my pre-built rig from January 2022. I'm planning to visit my local tech guy on Tuesday to confirm the issue, but I also want to buy a new graphics card soon. Is it worth getting the same RTX 3060 again, or are there better options available at a similar price that have been released since? I mostly play World of Warcraft and Paradox games like Victoria 3, plus I watch YouTube and movies. Any advice would be super helpful!

First things first, what's your budget? That'll really help narrow down your options. If you're looking around $300-400, there's definitely a range of cards you can consider. Just keep in mind there are some powerful options out there, but the top-of-the-line ones might cost more than what you paid for your entire setup! Also, remember that graphics issues like yours can sometimes be fixed with updated drivers, so I’d definitely check those too.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure about budgets usually, but I'd like to stay within $300-400 if that's reasonable. Good to know there are options!
