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.

A 3060 is not going to run STALKER 2 much better than your current GPU. The problem there is unreal engine 5. You really need to be getting the most current generation for this, specifically, and definitely not a 5 year old card.

    Makes sense, I'm not too up to date ok card specs and what models are good. I'm thinking of going with an AMD 9060 now or something around there

    You could find some benchmarks of STALKER 2 or other games you play on 9060 XT and compare to 3060 benchmarks. Be aware there is a 9060 XT 8GB and a 9060 XT 16GB. It will be very worth it to get the model with 16GB VRAM.
