is it worth upgrading from a vega 56 to rtx 3060

Go to solution Solved by AMD A10-9600P,

With pricing at the moment I don't think it would be worth it. Wait for the market to normalise and then you will be able to buy a decently priced RTX card, and you may even be able to get a better card for the price that you can get a 3060 for at the moment.

Hello everyone,
I currently have an Asus Strix Vega 56 and I don't know if I should get a RTX 3060. I don't game in 4k just 1080p. I am only doing gaming on my PC and like normal school work. 
I hope that you all can help me decide. 
Hope all of you have a wonderful day/evening 😄

is the vega 56 not sufficient for your needs? it should still be a decent 1080p card

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
