Replacement for Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Mini ITX

[dx4100]

Hi All

Having lots of issues with desktop and I am pretty sure its the graphics card so I want to swap it out.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Mini ITX 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express - about 2 years old

Any suggestions on what to replace it with ?

Its for my daughters and all they really play is: Roblox - Minecraft - Fortnight but I sometimes use it to play F1 / Fifa etc. So I want it to be powerful enough to play latest games without being top of the range.

Monitor is G-Sync compatible via Display Port - so would like to keep this.

Full system specs bought from overclockers:

Any suggestions ?

Your best bet would surely be either the 3060 or 3060 Ti. Trouble is finding anything at a reasonable price currently.

Did the 2060 mini not come with 36 months warranty? What issues and what troubleshooting have you tried before chucking (too much) money at it?

Blue screen of death - reporting Graphic card issues.

Played with resolutions / updated drivers / reinstalled windows - same issues

Warranty etc sounds fine on paper if I want to jump through the hoops and live without a PC / Graphics card probably for 6 months

EDIT: just looked at the prices for a 3060 Ti.... Maybe I should use the warranty

Will probably take you 6 months to get anything at RRP GL with that!

Bear in mind the BSOD with gfx card issue doesn't necessarily mean a problem with the GPU, potentially it could be a memory issue. Do you have any overclocking applied? Maybe worth trying a memtest to rule out the RAM before you swap out the GPU.
