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