Currently I have a 1060GTX 6GB (Evga I think?). It struggled to run Elden Ring but was tolerable for me on medium settings - still it frequently drops from 60fps to 40fps or so, rarely able to stay at an even 60.
Can you suggest a modest upgrade compatible with my build? I'm not obsessed with getting max settings, but something that will work decently for 5 years or so would be nice. I don't have an exact budget in mind, but the absolute maximum I would consider is $400 Canadian (approx $300 USD). Prefer to save some money for performance and keep it around $200-$300 CDN, if possible
Here's my parts list started in 2016 - GPU listed is not the current 1060

Whatever you do, make sure it has more than 8Gb VRAM.
People said the 3060 would outperform the 3070 in real life usage because it has more VRAM and I’m still kicking myself because they were right.
