What would you go for?

[TheBrooder]

I'm looking to upgrade my 1660 super for 1080p gaming.

The 2 options are:
6650xt @ €250
7600 @ €280

I've looked at a few benchmarks and they seem to be very similar, but thought I'd ask you lot anyway?

Are there any other options (not used) for similar prices?

Thanks!

I have an RTX3060TI myself and wouldn't touch a secondhand one at a bargepole at £300. Neither is an RX7600 or RX6650XT worth that price either.

8GB VRAM dGPUs are not really worth spending much more than £200ish - I would look at an RX6600 for under £200. If not save up some more money and get something better. For between £300 to £360,you can get the RX6750XT 12GB, RX7700XT 12GB or RX6800 16GB.

Yeah that probably makes more sense, I just don't want to spend over 300 on a gpu. I've always gone for the best bang-for-buck as I'm not a huge gamer.

I'll take a look at the others you suggested.

What is your CPU and PSU? AMD cards seem to do better on lower end CPUs in DX12 and Nvidia historically in DX11. 300 Euro is around £260ish here - in the UK you could get a brand new RX6750XT a few weeks ago for £40 more. I would have a look and see if there is a new deal on an RX6700XT/RX6750XT. The RX6600 is under £200/230 Euro in the UK - I personally wouldn't pay much over that for any 8GB dGPU now especially if it is being used for the next 4 to 5 years.

WRT,to secondhand make sure you get a warranty on it,many people mined on their cards so they can have worn out fans too. But even then you can get good deals on secondhand RX6700XT/RX6750XT and RX6600 cards.

CPU is i7 6700k @ 4ghz so not bad but quite old now, I can't remember what PSU I have (I'm on my laptop atm), I remember getting a decent one but that was around 8 years ago.

I'm not sure what to do now...

6800 is €400

What games do you want to run?

At the moment - Helldivers 2, Battlefield 2042, Hunt: Showdown, Vermintide 2, Isonzo, Chivalry 2, DayZ, Hell Let Loose, Total War Warhammer 2.

I'll have at used cards, or wait a bit longer I think.
