I've got a 2060 gpu in my desktop and I want to upgrade to atleast a 3060. I've been using pc partpicker to check compatibility. Is there anything else I need to check before I buy a new card? Like I've got a Asus B560-plus motherboard and it seems that the 3060 card is compatible. Anybody got advice on any other sites or software to check so I don't fuck it up? I've replaced most things on my pc except gpu and motherboard.

Yea but some things nvidia is better for as far as i know Like Video editing etc

Given the price bracket, I would be surprised if OP was doing anything more than gaming - but for general video editing, the 9060XT would out-perform the 3060 Ti. Only once applications start heavily demanding CUDA cores (Adobe suite, predominantly After Effects), would the GeForce card pull away.
