I recently updated from a 1060 to a 3060 ti, which gave me roughly 50% extra performance, you'd have to grab a 4080/4090 to do the same. But yeah, not fast enough anymore if you do 4k or high hz stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago At this point I'm just waiting a few more generations.
