A Radeon RX 6600XT 8GB graphics card may be available for less than the price of the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. The Radeon would provide slightly better gaming performance except for ray-tracing, where the GeForce has a significant advantage.

GPU prices are going down a bit due to Etherium implementing switch to Proof-of-Stake, small-time miners are starting to liquate their hardware causing price pressures to go down. If you are patient enough you might be able to snag the current generation of GPU at their intended MSRP value at launch.

High-end SKUs are seeing the greatest pressure. 6800XT, 3080, 3080Ti and 6900XT are only ~20-30%+ more than their intended MSRP launch price. A far cry from 70-100%+ that they used to command a few months ago.

Neither SKU can really handle ray-tracing at all. It is only good for tech demos to get a taste what to expect in future hardware. Ray-tracing for both Nvidia and ATI are like Pixel/Vertex Shading was for Geforce 3/4, Radeon 8xxx back in the day.
