Is Upgrading to a 6950 XT from a 3060 Worth It?

-

I’m currently using an RTX 3060 and I’m thinking about upgrading to a 6950 XT. I’d love to know if it’s a worthwhile upgrade, especially in terms of performance. Also, what Nvidia card is the 6950 XT equivalent to?

Upgrading to the 6950 XT will definitely boost your performance, especially in rasterization. Just make sure you’ve got at least an 850 watt PSU since this card can be quite power hungry. As for Nvidia equivalents, you’re looking at the 3090, 4070, or 5070 range.
