Looking for a new GPU for 1080p gaming in high quality. Is the RX6700XT a good choice? (feddit.it)

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!

I would think it might be a little bit overkill for 1080p 60hz, but I wouldn't think that it'd be bottlenecked by your CPU or ram, and that 12 GB of vram is gonna be nice in the future and at ultra in the latest games I think. Personally I would try to get a 120hz freesync monitor because it is quite a big difference, and a 6700 or 6700xt should be able to run around 90 fps on 1080p high. Check some Gamer's Nexus benchmarks and see how those cards perform in recent games.
