Want to replace my dead GPU but not sure what would be best. Any suggestions?

Best to wait for the new cards this year, especially from AMD. The current cards available just aren't worth the investment, since they're not nearly as good as the ones that'll come out but also not much better than the ones that came before (like the 1060). Also it's a good idea to wait for the release of ps5 and xbox series x to see how the latest pc hardware will compare.

At this point I wouldn't get anything without support for hardware based ray tracing as that will likely be something that devs double down on this next console gen

Wait until at least June when the new nVidia cards drop. Current generation prices will drop.

If you simply cannot wait, you can't go wrong with the 2060 Super at 1080p. The regular 2060 is over 50% faster than the 1060, and the 2060 Super is closer to 75% faster than the previous generation's offering.

Soo uuummm, I can trade some potatoes for your current GPU, win win

A used 1080Ti is a way to go nowadays.

Because of the pandemic you may never know when the new releases will be and how many will be supplied.
So say prices will rise.
So even waiting for a better GPU is a viable option you should also consider you might neeed to wait too long.
Yet 1060 is a good one and I hardly believe you really need to change to a new GPU (except for extremely better graphics)

I also have a 1060 6GB, and I wouldn't even bother upgrading to anything less then a 2070 Super. There are still very few games you'll have problems maxing out at 1080p/60fps on your current card, so just wait until the next generation of cards come out (nvidia is looking like they'll need to massively drop prices due to strong competition from the new consoles and AMD, plus raytracing is supposed to get huge boosts to performance).

AMD 5700XT or NVIDIA 2070 or 2060 Super are viable options.

View attached image.

I would absolutely get a Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT. No other model.

a used 1080 or 1080 ti would do just fine. but i doubt they will be that cheap to get.

a 1660 super should be the last gpu you'll ever need for 1080p gaming.
or a 2070 super if you want to burn all that money.

if you can wait that long nvidia will bring new gpus later this year so prices could drop a lot when that happens.

Summary: Wait =)

why are you upgrading?
@1080p you should be getting 60FPS almost all the time
all the cards you listed are good but it depends on your needs and budgets
so unless you really need 60 FPS on max settings doom now, i would say wait for the next gen or later.

Bumping it again because the card is now actually dead. Artifacting is constant now so I kinda need an upgrade now :X What I'm looking at now is the Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT PULSE or the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gaming OC 3X White 8G.
Both are about 430eur. I use a 1080p TV and play mostly games like Diablo 3, Souls games but also VR like boneworks. Leaning towards the 2060 super because of the issues I'm reading about AMD cards right now. Thoughts?

I just bought RX 5700 XT (XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II Ultra 8G for 365€ +-) as upgrade from RX 580 (which is +- same as GTX 1060). But i have 1440p 144Hz display, so i need higher performance and this graphic should be twice better than my curently GPU (RX580). Why i decided now?
Due Coronavirus our currency / € droped very hard, so price can increase, new GPU which should be released at Q4 could be delayed and i dont want wait any longer (i will probably buy high end when they realease it and sell this GPU) and overall price can go higher when this all ends. Another reason is incoming Valve Index :D
btw, RX 5700XT should be compared with RXT 2070 (Super)

A frisky rodent!

both are fine cards, and would max everything at 1080p
not sure about VR performance, and driver issues should be resolved (or will)
you get more FPS going 5700xt ,2060 has RTx and video encoding features (if you stream)
