I'm looking to upgrade my GPU from a 2060 6GB. I've narrowed it down to three options: the 3060, RX 6600, or RX 6600 XT. The price difference between these options is not significant (about 30 euros), and while I know it's not a huge leap in performance, I'm mainly looking to get more VRAM. Which one would you recommend?

The 3060 12GB is a great choice, but if you're looking specifically for better performance in a good upgrade, then the RX 6600 XT might be the best bet out of your options.
The RX 6600 is definitely an upgrade over the 2060 6GB, especially considering the additional VRAM. Just keep in mind that while benchmarks show some games running better on the 2060, the 6600 has about a 26% performance edge at 1080p.
If you're considering the 3060, make sure it's the 12GB version. It generally offers better gaming performance compared to the RX 6600 and 6600 XT, especially when it comes to ray tracing and DLSS. Just keep an eye on the price; I wouldn't spend more than around $180 for a used one.
Go for the RX 6600 XT if the prices are similar. It usually performs better than the 3060 and has more VRAM than your current 2060. It's a solid option for 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
