I'm putting together a shopping list for this summer and I'm focusing on upgrading my GPU for 1440p gaming. Right now, I have an RX 6600 with 8GB, and I'm considering several options: the Intel ARC B580 for 260€, the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti for 280€, the NVIDIA RTX 3080 for 300€, and the RX 9060 XT for 370€. I also plan on upgrading my CPU from an R5 2600x to a 5600, and switching my monitor from an AOC 24G2SPU (1080p 165Hz) to an AOC AG276QZD2 (1440p 240Hz QD-OLED). The games I typically play include CS2, Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, Deadlock, and Helldivers 2, and ideally, I want to hit around 240 FPS for CS2 and Apex while being capable of handling the raids in HD2. I'm mainly looking for the best value option. Thanks for your help!

For your needs, if you’re an AMD fan, the RX 9060 XT is a solid choice. But if you prefer NVIDIA, the RTX 3080 is the way to go. Either way, both cards should handle 1440p gaming pretty well, especially for esports titles.
Which one would actually perform better in average games?
