Any suggestions for a small form nVida RTX video card that will be a substantial improvement to my GTX 1060 (6gb)?

I'd like to up my VC to a more powerful unit. This is for a Box I built a while back on a ROG Strix B550 with Ryzen 5 5600X. I use this now mostly for working in AutoCAD and Rhino 7. My laptop is RTX2070 and I see we're in the 4000's now. I'd love to know what kind of performance improvement I'd see with a RTX card. I don't need to break the bank with the top of the line, but something that will give marked improvement. Of course for SFF.

If you are leveraging AutoCAD, then I would recommend the 3060 with 12 GB of VRAM or the A2000 with 12GB. The first option is stronger performance wise and comes in single-fan versions, but the A2000 is a half-height card that gets all it's power from the board slot. There are some really cools builds you can do with the A2000.

If price were no concern, there is the single slot A4000 and the new RTX 4000 SFF ADA.

Thanks for the info. I'll check those out.
