Help me choose a better GPU for Squad (RTX 3060 12GB vs RTX 4060 8GB)

Help

Hey everyone,

My old RTX 2060 just died after ~6 years, and I’m building a new setup mainly to play Squad and other CPU-heavy / poorly optimized games.

I’m trying to decide between:

  • RTX 3060 12GB
  • RTX 4060 8GB

Full planned setup (same for both options):

  • CPU: i5-13400F
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4
  • Cooler: Deepcool AK400
  • Motherboard: B660M
  • PSU: 650W Corsair

Games I play:

  • Squad (main game)
  • Hell Let Loose
  • Project Reality
  • Cities Skylines 2
  • Total War series (and future titles like Medieval III)
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance II
  • Resident Evil games
  • I also do music (Reaper and Ableton Live)
  • My brother plays Destiny 2

My main concern:

With my RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM), Squad would often stutter and drop FPS hard, especially in big maps.

I’m trying to avoid that.

My doubt:

  • Is the RTX 4060 actually better for Squad, or does the 8GB VRAM cause issues?
  • Does the RTX 3060 12GB feel more stable in large matches?
  • Anyone here upgraded from a 2060 → 3060 or 4060? How was it?

What I care about:

  • Stability (less stutter) > raw FPS
  • Good performance in large-scale battles
  • Longevity for future games

Any real in-game experience would help a lot
