I'm looking to upgrade to an Nvidia GPU that performs similarly to the RX 6600 XT, specifically for playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. My current setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and a 500W power supply. Any recommendations?

The RTX 3060, 4060, and 5060 are all good options to consider. They perform similarly to the RX 6600 XT, making them suitable choices for your setup. The 3060 tends to be the most commonly recommended in this range.
If you're after something new, the RTX 5050 is a solid pick depending on market availability. If you can snag a secondhand card, the 6600 or 6650 are also great, but for Nvidia, the 3060 12GB is the most comparable to the 6600 XT. Just steer clear of the 3050—it's much weaker on performance.
Totally agree! The 3060 stands out as the closest match. The 3050 is pretty underwhelming compared to the 6600 XT.
Yeah, the 5060 is a bit overkill unless you're looking for future-proofing. The 5050 could be a solid middle ground for now.
