is it worth the upgrade
Why are you looking to upgrade your GPU?
If you're looking to play on a budget, the 5060ti is a solid choice. But recently the AMD RX 9060xt cards were released that match their performance. I recommend choosing either of these, opting for the 16gb models. There are both 8gb and 16gb versions available, though I'd advise against the 8gb ones.
Some games are restricted by graphics capabilities, such as fast action shooters.
Others are constrained by CPU speed, like strategy, sims, and mmo games.
Multiplayer usually prefers many threads.
Before deciding on a GPU upgrade, assess your current setup.
Run your games at lower resolutions and reduce visual effects.
This helps the graphics card perform better.
An increase in FPS suggests your CPU can handle a better graphics setup.
If FPS remains unchanged, your CPU might be the limiting factor.
Upgrading the GPU should be a substantial improvement, ideally surpassing the 5060ti, otherwise results may not meet expectations.
I recently bought an 9060 XT 16GB card from the Microcenter in Duluth, GA. They had around 14 left at the time of purchase, but they’re sold out online now. It looks like Microcenter still has a good number of these in stock for other models if you’re nearby.
