Upgrading from a GTX 1060 6GB to a GeForce RTX 3060 12GB - has anyone done this

[MarcusFromOz]

Thinking about making this upgrade and would appreciate anyone else's experience in doing so, obviously particularly for Embers Adrift.

Without knowing exact models a general comparison shows the 3060 is a significant upgrade overall. How will it do with with the Unity HDRP engine..according to most info I see it handles DLSS which was enabled in this client recently as I remember reading.

Is RTX 3060 enough for Unity?

In summary, the GeForce RTX 3060 is clearly an overpowered bit of hardware for Assassins Creed: Unity, but it certainly gives you the choice of desired in

I went from 2x 1080 in SLI to a single 3080 12GB, and the uplift was very noticeable across all games. Embers went from being stuttery, to smooth.
