The decision now focuses on the GPU. With FurMark failing even at 80% PL, it’s clear your 2070 is likely finished. For the 3060, it’s a decent choice if you need a reliable alternative; the 12GB VRAM should handle newer games. However, its raw performance isn’t significantly better than your 2070 and may be slightly slower in some titles. If you can afford it, consider a 3060 Ti or 3070 for a much larger performance boost at a better value. The 3060 works as a budget-friendly option, but it’s more of a step down rather than a real upgrade.
I don’t have direct links, but you can find the 3060 Ti and 3070 on official ASUS websites or reputable retailers. Let me know if you need help locating them!
RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming V2 OC Edition is a highly dependable card with triple-fan cooling, excellent thermal performance, and a strong fit for your ASUS motherboard.
Completely clear about the budget constraints. The RTX 3050 should function, though it’s a bit less powerful than your 2070 in raw terms. It’s suitable for casual gaming and offers good value. If you ever have the chance to upgrade to a 3060 Ti, that’s when the real improvement becomes noticeable.
