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 just bought a 6700XT last month and got my newly built PC working a few days ago (faulty ram on arrival delayed it)

For reference, I use a 7700X CPU with it as well

It's been absolutely phenomenal so far, though the only big game I've played since is Days Gone, at 1440P, max graphics You could definitely use it for 1080P, not sure about ray tracing and how much that'd kill frames, but either way, the 6700XT will have you set for a while, I feel.
