This is an old comparison from when the Nvidia 3000 and AMD 6000 cards were first out, but this should give you an idea of what to expect from various cards that were around then.
Your 1060 could be replaced by a 6600 (non-XT) or an RTX 3060, and you'd see around a 2x increase in performance. I have a 3060ti, and it's been able to handle pretty much everything I throw at it.
You could also check into the latest Intel budget card, whatever it's called. It's supposed to be really good on Windows (but sucks on Linux, at present).
So the Intel budget card explicitly does not support 9th gen Intel. Oddly enough I just listened to the LTT wan show and they mentioned it.
When the 5k series comes out hopefully they'll dump pricing a bit more. I'd be perfectly fine with a 3060 or TI!
Also thank you for the write up!
Oh yeah, arc battle mage requires resizable BAR and a few other newer cpu/pcie memory tricks to perform correctly that make it not great on cpu's older than maybe 10th/11th gen intel or ryzen 2.
Yep! Have no idea what resizable BAR is. But I won't have it on my next upgraded rig. I will always be 2-6 gens behind on hardware for ram and CPU. My most current rig is a 8750h/1060. And it's putting around fine.
