Specs like -5900x or 5950x with 2x16GB RAM and 3600MHz memory would suit your setup. Running CS:GO, Valorant, and AimLab/Kovacs side by side is demanding, especially with Valorant on a Mu display and switching between games. The RX 3060 is capable, but it might feel a bit tight under continuous multitasking. A RX 5950X would likely handle it better, though it could be a bit overkill depending on your budget and needs. It would definitely be a "heavy" workload, but not insurmountable.

What is this? You're wondering why there are both a 5950x and a 2060.

You're asking about running several games simultaneously on a single GPU. Be aware that this will be quite CPU-bound here. Most games won't require additional cores, so the performance gain will be minimal.

You're significantly reducing your CPU usage, which should help the games run smoothly even on a 5600X (half of a 5900X in cores). However, memory capacity will likely be an issue because the bandwidth hasn't been increased (it hasn't either). You shouldn't expect the same performance as playing each game separately. The GPU will probably be the main bottleneck. While some games can cap frame rates at around 30fps when not in focus, you should still aim for about 80% GPU performance at most.

It was intended for 3060, but the device recalled 2060 from a previous entry, so it auto-corrected.

Sure, the main issue is managing two games at once on a 2060 system. The CPU isn't the biggest worry here.

3060 isn't significantly improved unless you're running both at 720p.

The performance drop is minimal, around 20 frames per game when running two in the background. The GPU handles it smoothly even with a 1060.

It seems the 3060 refers to something from around the 2080s or 2070s, which is a more accurate timeframe.

It's worth noting that even with a 2060, the FPS drop when running several games isn't significant on the GPU side. Talking about GPU performance becomes irrelevant if none exists, and the best you can do is improve the CPU.
