I'm planning to update my graphics card for VR and game development, and I currently have an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and an Nvidia GTX 1660 Super GPU. I also have 32 GB of TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-4000 memory. I'm looking for recommendations on what's the best value graphics card I should buy right now. Budget-wise, I'm willing to spend around $500 if necessary.

For the best price-to-performance ratio right now, you should check out the AMD 9060 XT or the Nvidia 5060 TI. They offer similar performance, but the 9060 XT tends to be a bit cheaper—around $70 or so, depending on the model. Just keep in mind that your Ryzen 5 3600 might bottleneck these GPUs in certain games and at higher resolutions.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm considering the 5060 TI, but I'm also curious about how much my CPU might hold back performance. Definitely planning to upgrade that in the future. Also, I’m debating between two models I'm looking at; do you think it's worth paying an extra $120 for double the VRAM?
