Hallo everybody,

 

Unfortunatly my R9 390 Nitro 8Gb gave up yesterday and I need an replacement for it.

I'm running a relativly old system but were more or less happy with it.

I don't play a lot of games but use the system more for productivty/development stuff.

 

A friend recommended the RX 9060XTX 16GB [~369€], but I'm uncertain if its the right choice.

In the best case the new GPU will hold up for the next few years.

I found multiple new RTX 3060 12GB [~270€], but I'm uncertain because they released in 2021

 

I'll guess I have to upgrade the other components in the future too.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your friend is right. The RX 9060XT 16GB is a great choice, and performs better than the RTX 3060 12GB. 😊
