I just managed to get hold of a bundle for a 1650 SC ULTRA from Ant. I think, from some searching, that the retail price for this card is $209.99. People were talking about the step up program so I did some digging. Does it make sense to step this up to a 12GB 2060 XC card for about $210. The 2060 cards seem to be very close to the 3060's in terms of price but, from the sounds of it, are about 20% slower. I don't think the option is there to step up to anything else. I don't mine crypto. The market for cards is insane and I have been trying to get a card for ages. The bundle wasn't cheap but I prefer to not support scalpers.

If that the only option, then I would do it. 2060 is nice card especially if you are running 1080p. You will get huge boost in performance.

Yeah I would definitely go for it.
I currently have a 1650 Super in one of my machines and although it's decent, it doesn't compage to the 20 series.
