So, a couple months ago I bought an RTX 2060 for $475, I recently saw a 6600xt in stock for $600, did I make a mistake buying the 2060? While the price difference is 26%, though the 6600xt has 8gb vram and the 2060 only has 6gb, will this effect me in future?, I'm planning to buy a 1440p monitor soon and don't want to be vram limited, one advantage with the Nvidia card is that I get DLSS and FSR but with the AMD option I only get FSR

Hope my response helps 🙂

if you were planning 1440p before or when about to get the card then the 6600xt wouldve been the better option as it's slightly better than a 2070 super
