I've been experiencing black screens with my Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti when trying to game and stream at the same time using OBS. I've attempted various drivers and fixes, but the problem persists. I'm considering an upgrade and would like recommendations for a solid graphics card that won't break the bank or continue causing issues. Any suggestions?

The 9060XT with 16GB is a solid choice and it retails for around $349. It's known for being a straightforward upgrade with good performance for both gaming and streaming.
It'd be helpful to know your budget and current system specs. You could use HWInfo64 to check your system's health. Sounds like your setup could benefit from better cooling. If your GPU is overheating, a repaste might give it some longevity, especially with prices fluctuating.
I'm looking at around $200 to $400 and I'm based in the US. My specs include a GIGABYTE B660 DS3H AC motherboard and an Intel Core i7-12700F CPU. I've got 16GB DDR4 RAM along with my current RTX 3060 Ti. What do you think fits that budget?
Have you tracked your GPU temperatures? It could definitely be overheating.
Consider the 9060XT 16GB or even the 9070/9070XT if your budget allows. They are great options and should give you a noticeable boost in performance.
Thanks for the suggestion! That sounds like a good fit for me.
