Replacement for 1060 3gb

[Terrymcc97]

Hey guys, Just looking for recommendations for a card replacement for a GTX 1060 3GB, Recently upgraded the rest of my pc, the card is the last part I need to upgrade, specs are:

ryzen 7 3700x

16gb (2x8gb) ddr4

b450 gaming plus board

evga 600w+ 80 plus white psu

 

ideally looking around the £200 price range, mainly just used for gaming at 1080p, do also run 2 additional 1080p monitors, thanks for your help.

Stick with your 1060 for now

the gpu prices are inflated at the moment, £200 won't get you a significant upgrade over what you have already. 

a few months ago, i would have recommended a 1660 super at that price, but now they are around £270 and not really worth it.

either wait a bit for the prices to come down to normal, or look for a used card (although those prices will be inflated too).

I'm happy to increase the budget if necessary, Find the 1060 3gb to struggle with newer games, guessing due to the 3gb.

This time during christmas all videocards are overpriced. In a couple of months the prices might normalize.

 As stated above there are no good cards at that price range right now. I would consider saving up for a better card.

Would £300-350 be sufficient? First time upgrading in 4ish years so don't mind putting in the extra money if necessary.

a significant upgrade would be a 5600xt, which currently sells for £350 (overpriced, it was launched for £300), or a 5700xt, which sells for £450 (again overpriced, they were once as low as £350)

In that price you could get a 5600xt but I would still suggest waiting since all the cards are overpriced. If you have to the 5600xt is a significant upgrade.

Had a look at the 5600xt's and they're selling for 350-400, I can wait a few months until the price hopefully drops, what's up with the inflation? I don't follow components too much anymore, is it just lack of supply? Thanks all for the advice anyway.

If you have to buy now, get a used 1080. (if you up your budget a little bit)

If you save more and can wait, get a 3060ti.

Seriously wait a couple months, now prices are insane cus of all the garbage scalpers and such.

200 pounds after all this nonsense is done should give you a decent card. Way better the the 1060 3GB.

 

If you really cannot wait maybe look into the 1660 if prices are decent.

Yeah that's what I'll do, its not essential to upgrade the gpu now, I was on an old i5-4570/8gb ddr3 so needed to upgrade the CPU first, I can still run most games pretty well, I'll hold out and save some money, thanks.
