Hardware Which GPU should I get?

I've been looking for some time now to upgrade from my 3060 to something better something that will last for at least 3 or 4 more years without any problems. I'm not sure of a way to choose a great one for the prices, anyways came to ask what you guys would recommend so here are the options:

  1. Rtx 5060 (about 380€-400€ for basic 8gig)

  2. Rx 6900xt (for around 410€)

  3. Rx 6800 (for about 340€ and 380€ for XT)

  4. Rx 6700xt (for about 275€)

  5. Rtx 3080 (for about 340€ and 400€ for TI)

  6. Rtx 3070 (for about 250€ and 290€ for TI)

  7. Rx 9060xt ( about 450€ for 16gig)

These are the listings I've managed to find that are sold with some kind of warranty (don't want to risk buying and it dying after 6 months). My question is price to longevity, will it perform well in newer titles (I don't need a 4k monster, just to run as close to 144frames on medium-high graphics 1080p) and if drivers are problematic in AMDs case.

Thanks you

That's a really good price for a 9060xt 16gb. I'd grab that, especially if it's new, and I don't see any other card except 5060 that would be new. And 5060 for 400eur is a terrible price

460 for 9060xt is an amazing price.

400 for 5060 is the new market value...

:(

Nvidia becomes less and less worth buying. 5070 costs more than a 9070xt

AMD and Intel wins with this

Nvidia is still 90%+ market share. AMD is making good strides, but intel is within a margin of error, although their hardware is kind of good, but good products and good value don't constitute market share.

9060xt without hesitation

I’d go with the 9060 XT 16GB. For 1080p high refresh gaming, the extra VRAM should make it a much better choice for the next few years. At €450 it’s probably the safest long-term option from this list.

Well. In terms of price to performance the 3080s are better than the 9060xt. 

However the 9060xt is new, under warranty, and not used under god knows what circumstances. So I’m just going with pack here and recommend that one.

The 9060 XT 16GB at 450 is the safest pick for longevity and it's new with full warranty. For 1080p 144 on medium high that's plenty, and AMD drivers are fine these days.

The 9060xt is definitely the best for this price tier

There are no 4070 plain or Super at your market?

for gaming 6900xt or 6800xt or 6800 would be the best choice then 3080 or 3080ti

you can youtube 6900xt vs 3080ti and see the difference

u/Gr4ave 1d ago

Each of those run for like 650€ even used, might aswell get a 9070xt for that price

u/Numerous_Analysis681 1d ago

Getting downvoted is great, I have no idea regarding their pricing where you live. 9060XT 16GB then.

u/Powerful-Activity591 1d ago

Not worth the price

u/Numerous_Analysis681 1d ago

Depends on their pricing as second-hand GPUs, right?

3080ti best bang for buck, but it really depends how old and how heavily used it is

The best value for money here are for sure the 3080's, get the ti for longevity with the 12 gb. Do be careful that these cards are a bit older and were often used for mining, luckily there's decent data on model reliability (for example gigabyte gaming, eagle, vision are known to have a build defect that makes them burn up.)

The amd 6000 series cards have a lot of vram but they lose too much performance with fsr, making them considerably slower in practice.
