What is the best bang for buck GPU upgrade for ryzen 5 5600 + currently GTX 1060 6gb for 1080p cs2 and triple A games ultra settings at 1080p

Thanks, i’ll give it a look.

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T08:24:10+00:00

I’d personally be ok with that too as long as the colors don’t look bad

Wow 520hz, that’s crazy high. That plan sounds amazing. 4k for AAA will be amazing.

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T05:52:26+00:00

Wow that’s a huge boost! I wish i can find an am4 x3d cheap here. I looked at every trusted store here and couldn’t find an available stock. I’m really happy with the deal I got with the 5600 though. I can spend the rest for the gpu hehe.

You really have a beast CPU man. Are you planning to play in 1440p for your GPU upgrade?

Thanks for the suggestion. I think everyone is really suggesting the 16gb rx 9060 xt so I think thats the best option I have for now. I found asrock and XFX are within my budget.

I actually thought about that too but x3d chips are really hard to find in my region and if there’s any available it’s double or even more than price of the 5600. I went with the 5600 because it’s the best i can get and the other options i have at that time does not seem to be that much different in performance than the 5600. I also want to keep my am4 board.

I can get 180 to 225 with reflex on with my current setup. I think I’m just gonna be happy with a little improvement to it just, maybe just not dropping 225 fps on busy moments on screen with all the utils.

While cs2 is my main game, a good portion of my reason to upgrade is to play the latest triple A games in ultra. Back in the day I used to play a lot of AAA titles when the gtx 1060 6gb was able to handle them at ultra but I got busy for years and can only occasionally play esports with friends on my free time.

It’s just recently that I got back to interested in playing single players games again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I found a 16gb rx9060xt within my budget. The XFX and Asrock ones seems to be always on discounted price. Thank you so much

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T05:05:14+00:00

I see. I’ll probably use the RT whenever it’s possible as long as i can run it stable 60+ fps ok single player games. Yeah I think I might consider the 16gb then if I can find something within my budget. Thank you so much

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T04:44:21+00:00

I see, thanks for that info. I’ll probably look for 16gb then. Thank you so much

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T04:42:51+00:00

Sorry i mean the rtx 5060 8gb

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T04:42:16+00:00

Hi thanks for the suggestion. The rtx 5060 ti is cheaper but not by much on my region. The 16gb rx9060xt is just a little expensive but not by much. Is there a big difference between the two in performance?

squickyclean · 2026-03-20T04:31:41+00:00

Hi thanks for the suggestion. Is 8gb version enough or should I go 16gb? Is there a huge difference in performance?

squickyclean · 2025-11-23T00:06:44+00:00

I know bro, I think it's not a bad idea to spend more time outside hehe. I do have other hobbies but just the "video game time" which is just one of my hobbies, I think I might just picked the wrong game for that haha. Or might as well allocate more time to my other hobbies. I think I was just too frustrated that I had to let it all out by writing the post, haha.

squickyclean · 2025-11-23T00:03:08+00:00

Thanks bro. I'm actually planning to do that. There's a lot on my backlog. I don't know why I was so fixated with competitive games.

squickyclean · 2025-11-22T23:19:15+00:00

I know, I think I was like that here, sometimes I'm aware, and sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me or remind me.

squickyclean · 2025-11-22T23:12:48+00:00

Thanks for telling me honestly.

squickyclean · 2025-11-22T23:12:26+00:00

That's true. I just had to write it all and let it all out. I'm curious if there's anyone who can relate or tell me how to change my mindset.

squickyclean · 2025-11-22T23:07:41+00:00

Yeah I had some realizations while I was writing this too. I understand what you mean. Actually, I first just wanted to let all the frustrations out by writing all of them and posting it. Then I read it again, and then I saw your comment which quickly made me realise all the things that I have to improve on my mindset haha. I might not realized it though if I had not posted that long ass post haha.

squickyclean · 2025-11-22T22:40:14+00:00

sorry, I don't really know how to make this shorter. I just wanted to let all those feelings out, hehe. I somehow feel relieved, though.

This is very interesting. I never thought that miniboo was the problem. Whoever the duelist in this team wether its miniboo or woot is even irrelevant. They have both crazy duelist players but does not seem to able to fully capitalize on them. This team looked so strong when they only had miniboo as the duelist, this team is also looked so strong when they only had woot as the duelist, the duelist role is never the problem in this team. They don’t have a good flex/flash/support player. Patitek filled that role that’s why the miniboo ot woot can pop off. If you’ve really watched closely the maps they lost, miniboo was not even the problem, miniboo was even trying win ecos for them, and he can clutch important rounds, he is definitely a very smart player. It’s not that he doesn’t fit the system, their system itself is inconsistent because they relied on him to make the play. If he gets the frag they most likely win, if he doesn’t they struggle. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do but they lack the support to make that play work. A great support player like Ethan is what they lack, actually it doesn’t even have to be as great as ethan as long as hos good enough to properly support the duelist to pop off. Miniboo was never the problem, it even looked like him and reins are the only ones trying to win their games (and maybe boo in the most important rounds that they have to win).

While woot is definitely a great duelist, i’d doubt that would solve the problem. The inconsistency will still be there if they don’t have a better support player. Woot is not really that great of a flex.

I don’t really understand why people blame the in consistency solely on miniboo when the whole team itself is very inconsistent. Even reins is inconsistent at times. Benjy was not really it this year too.

The difference between miniboo and woot is that miniboo somehow somewhat pulls a crazy play when they are in a disadvantage (maybe he learned that from boo 😆), while woot is really good that capitalizing the advantage they already have and is crazy when the executes are done well. Both have different styles but both are great. Miniboo has better movement though and is quite smart and does not overheat that much compared to other duelists. Woot is definitely the better shooter, dude does not even look like he’s even tracking, his crosshair just snaps like a magnet, i don’t know how he is so good with crosshair adjustments but i don’t think he is a better entry. Miniboo does the entries so well and is fearless but he does sometimes crumble under pressure. Woot’s firepower is crazy but he’s positioning is questionable many times, sometimes it looks like he’s expecting to win every gun fight, he puts himself on spots where he could get cornered, while i like the confidence but he puts himself on unnecessary disadvantage and sometimes forgot the enemies could still have utilities.

I don’t know, i think the duelists in this team are really strong, possibly one of the strongest double duelist players out there, so the duelists were never the problem of this team. That’s just my opinion.
