Ryzen 5 2600 pairing

[tire]

Ok so I have a Ryzen 5 2600 overclocked to 4.1 ghz, and I just want to know what etc 2000 or 3000 cards would be a good pairing with my current cpu

2070 super or a RTX 3060

The 2070 Super is closer to a 3060 Ti, while the 3060 is closer to a 2060 Super.

i think the 2070 super is closer to the 3060. And the 2080 super is closer to the 3060 ti

yeah. best bet here is going for a 2070 super unless you can find a 3060

i would say, no higher than RTX 3060 ti, anything over that might bottleneck. But even then, the RTX 3060 would be a better pair

id rather wait, as the 2070 super is being scalped for insanely high prices along with the 3060

No, the 3060 is between a 2060 Super and a 2070.

The 3060 Ti is between a 2070 Super and a 2080, and the 3070 is between a 2080 Super and a 2080 Ti.

The 3060 Ti is between a 2070 Super and a 2080, and the 3070 is between a 2080 Super and a 2080 Ti.

the 3070 is basically 2080 ti performance, just very slightly less. and the 3060 ti is just a little bit less performance than the 3070

What I wanted to do was buy a 3060 ti to because it is significantly better than the 3060 12gb

Are you looking for value within a specific budget? If not, then whatever the best card you can afford is, just crank graphics options if you feel it's underutilized. Unless you're trying to get a 2600 to do high refresh rates in chunky titles or running really heavy single core stuff the CPU won't choke, and so long as your GPU isn't bonkers levels of overkill for your resolution, you can just crank graphics options as far as they'll go before you start noticeably dropping frames.

Well what I want to do is buy it at the end of the year because at the end of the year, I will be making a 1000 dollar upgrade to my pc, which includes another m.2 ssd to replace my hard drives, a Corsair smart case, a new cpu cooler, and a new gpu, and, if the prices are sane, the 3060 ti is the perfect balance of price to performance

Oh yeah, I have a 550 watt psu, is that enough for the ryzen 5 2600 and the 3060 ti?

Tom's Hardware numbers put the 3060 Ti at a max power consumption of 227W or so, unless you've convinced a 65W ryzen chip to inhale 300 watts, you should be fine.

Corsair cx 550 watt rgb psu

No I didn’t buy it for rgb, I bought it modularity

As mentioned 550w should be fine with a 3060Ti, according to the PSU tier list the CX-F RGB is tier B, more than enough for a 65w cpu and a 3060Ti.
