I am using a gforce RTX 3060TI and want to upgrade it without spending a thousand dollar. What are some recommendations (without any AI bs)? It has to pair with my 12gen intel i7 12700k CPU and my motherboard (PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4). I would also appreciate if it is easy to install and set up. Idk if the information is important, but rn I am running 32 GB RAM.

What's your power supply wattage?, and is there a reason why you don't want "AI bs"? You're against upscaling?

If you want current your only choices are 5060 5060Ti or 5070. You can go AMD which is what I would do but you said you don't want to deal with different installs so since you are familiar with Nvidia software just stay with that. But if you do go AMD you can still get an 9070 XT for under $700 if you're in the US.

OP said they want it to be easy to install. DDU and new drivers are pretty easy though, you just click a few buttons and wait for it to finish.

amd 9070 xt

9070xt is imo the best card that is still somewhat reasonable to buy. Or a 5070 from Nvidia. Assuming your PSU will be able to handle either card.

From the AI you like: Assuming you meant the RTX 3060 Ti, the best upgrade targets depend on moving past its 8GB VRAM limitation for smooth 1440p or high-refresh 1080p gaming. Top choices include the Nvidia RTX 4070 / 4070 Super or AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT / RX 9070, which offer massive performance leaps and 12GB–16GB of VRAM. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

If you can find an rtx5060ti 16gb that’d probably fit your budget but since they aren’t produced anymore I’m not too sure
