3060 on a Z390?

I will eventually get an i9 12900k + z790 Mobo but at the moment don't want to upgrade all components. Am pondering if it would be worth getting a 3060Ti Amazon to replace my 2070s however running it on a z390 MB as it's PCIE 3.0 and the 3060 is 4.0.

 

The problem could be Blender 3.6 or a broken GPU, it keeps overloading and crashes and not sure how else to test it without getting another GPU.

 

Any suggestions?

Thats completely fine. The 3060ti does not saturate the PCIE 3.0.

The 3060ti is barely faster than the 2070Super though, I dont think that its a worthy upgrade if you have to buy it new.

A used 6700 XT would be a better choice no?

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).
I'm learning video editing and trying to get some cash as a high school student.
I like F1, my favourite team is Scuderia Ferrari and favourite driver is Charles Leclerc. Favourite track is Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Playing with a 1080p 60hz monitor right now, hoping to upgrade to a 1440p 144hz one soon.

Living in AU and that pisses me off since every event is late at night or early in the morning (almost every F1 race starts around 11 PM AEST time)
