Currently using a gtx 980 Ti on a 1440p 27” 240Hz monitor. Most demanding games i play are Cyberpunk and RDR2, im interested in also buying games like Subnautica 2, GTA 6 (when it comes out) and basically newer AAA titles.
I have a ~450 eur budget and i ordered a rx 9060 XT 16gb Hellhound but I was told at that price buying a used rtx 3080 is better. So now i’m conflicted, what would be the best choice longterm? RTX 3080 for around ~350 eur or a rx 9060 XT for ~450 eur? I also saw a 7900 GRE for 440 eur used. I like the warranty that you get buying new but i also want a well performing card at 1440p that’ll give me a better experience than what i have right now (playing cyberpunk at 1440p using fsr3 at low/medium settings getting 47ish fps) and will last me a while.

Not a request
Basically, I made a pc back on New Year 2026 but i had no money for a gpu so i used a gtx 980 Ti to game on 1440p till now. I’ve been playing cyberpunk at 40fps on low to medium settings using FSR. My question is would a rx 9060 XT be a huge upgrade and would it be enough to keep me happy on 1440p?

Been using a gtx 980 ti for 1440p on my system, how much of an improvement would a rx 9060 XT be? Im currently getting about 40fps with fsr and low to medium settings on cyberpunk 1440p on the gtx 980 Ti
