I have put off upgrading my 1060 for so long, as I am on 1080p, rarely have time to play games anymore, and mostly play games like Siege, OW2, and fh5. I am really excited to play Subnautica 2 and Forza 6 this summer, and with Sub now being on UE5 and Forza modernizing I am finally below the minimum system requirements for both. Subnautica is even claiming their minimum card, which is a 1660, will run the game at only 30 fps at 1080p.
I am looking at the Arc b580 and the 9060xt. I live very close to MicroCenter so I can get a founder's edition b580 for $250 when they get a shipment. I spotted an open box 9060 xt 16gb for $350 the other day, but it was gone before I could grab it. They have an ASROCK 9060 xt 16gb for $420. They have an 8gb one for $330. I am open to other retailers as well. Just trying to get whatever I need and not drop a ton of money, but like I haven't upgraded in so long so if I should just splurge that's fine. I just don't get a lot of time during the school year to play.
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x3d
RAM: 16 gb ddr4-3200
The cpu is crazy OP for a 1060 but I got it for a really good deal a little back in hopes that I would soon upgrade my gpu.
