solid 1080p Card
I picked up the MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 3X mainly for 1080p gaming, and honestly, it’s been great. Most games easily hit 90-100+ fps, so everything feels super smooth. The card runs cool and quiet, even when I’m gaming for hours. When I bought it, the price was pretty fair for what you get. The 12GB of VRAM is actually really handy not just for games, but also for messing around with AI stuff. If you’re after a card that can handle high refresh rate 1080p gaming and some extra projects on the side, I’d definitely recommend this one.

Happy camper from 1660ti
This is about as good as gets when it comes price to performance. I have it paired with R7 5800x and it works great, thermals are good to and fans aren't so loud. No fancy RGB on this one, this gpu is also great on a 1080p monitor 144hz, the look and feel are pretty good when also and you don't need a support brace for this one. I upgraded my son's evga 1660ti 6gb for this one, so we are happy that we waited for the price to drop. He has also seen a big jump in fps, so get it if you can.
