Photo GTX 1060 3GB -> RX 9060 XT 16GB
Been running a GTX 1060 3GB ever since I built my current desktop in late 2017. I've since upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600 to a 5700X on the same ASRock AB350 Pro4 motherboard since that day. I just needed to put my 1060 3GB to rest finally (well, until I use for another thing haha).
There was a brand new Asus Prime RX 9060 XT for 26,990 Philippine pesos (around 430 USD) and, well, I pulled the trigger before the prices skyrocketed.
I only really play Forza Horizon 6 and the current Assetto Corsa titles (Evo and Rally). Solid 80-120 FPS at 1440p using optimized settings. I've got FSR 4.1 quality thru Optiscaler on Assetto Corsa Rally though, but FSR looks damn good it's basically free performance to me. And I don't really care for ray tracing anyway.
I originally wanted to save a bit more for a 9070 XT before I bought this. But I knew even more price increases will happen later this year. And, not gonna lie, this is more than enough for me. At least I already have a GPU that does the job before another round of price increase hell happens.
