I'm currently using a second hand GTX1050ti (Yeah, I know lmao), and the next big games I really want to play are Baldur's gate 3 and Starfield.

My other specs are quite beefy, since this is also my work computer: Ryzen 9 5900X 64GB RAM ddr4

My monitor has a 1080p resolution, with a 60Hz refresh rate and I'm pretty happy gaming with that. Would an rx6700xt suffice? Is it overkill or just barely enough?

Thanks!

The 5000 and 6000 series cards are really quality, and it's hard to go wrong with them. The 6700XT is definitely a great card.

I have a 6800XT (1440P/144FPS targets), but before that I was using a 5700 (non-XT) and was hitting 60FPS @ 1440p just fine in most games. If you have the money to spend, I think the 6700XT is a great pick for you right now, and will future-proof your build for a good while into the future.

6700xt is a great card will get 120+ fps in games at 1080p and has 12gb ram so will be useful in upcoming games.
I run a 5600x 64gb @3600 6700xt. The only downside is ray tracing. It can do shadows and med reflections most other things like GI bring the card to it's knees

If you're not planning on upgrading, or don't need a superpowered video card for work, you could definitely save on the money. I am using a RTX 2060 Super (your choice is comparable to the 3000 line from Nvidia) and playing all games I want to play in high quality at 1080p 60hz and good fps.

Thanks! I do audio work, so the GPU is basically an afterthought.
