New graphics card

[nipav01]

Hello so i want to buy a new graphics card for gaming and streaming. Generally i play games like Valorant, Wow, and rpg games. My budget is on 300-350€.
I have this one in mind Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 Gaming OC (rev. 2.0) but people tell me its for professional uses only so idk, it really looks good to me and i find it for 310€

also someone recommended these two:
1)Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 Windforce OC
2)Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GDDR6 Pulse

Also do you think 8gb is enough for streaming?

I would really like to see some more recommendations!!

PC specs:
MOBO: Gigabyte B550M DS3H
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
PSU: Be Quiet System Power 9 600W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3600MHz
Box: Kolink Stronghold White
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 1TB

What is your current graphics card, or are you running the CPU's onboard?

im running on my integrated graphics

6700 XT is the faster card between that and the 3060 12GB, there's no doubt about it. The 3060 is technically a lower-tier card (since 6700 XT competed with 3060 Ti, when they were both new).

The 4060 has the lowest power consumption, but it's usually expensive versus the RX 7600.

i find both of them (rx7600 and 4060) on 340€ so im targeting more on the best option according to the performance

Both the 4060 and 7600 are very similar in performance and both have just 8gb VRAM however if you can find a deal on a 6700XT it has 12gb VRAM and offers quite a bit more performance for similar money.

the i'm thinking is the Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GDDR6 Pulse just because of the 12 gb vram

i have a little concern if the radeon card does not work properly with Twitch streaming, as i searched they recommend NVIDIA cards. Anyone have an opinion on this? Because i think the one i posted up its the best deal but idk with all these info im really confused on what i should do.

6700XT if you find one, has more RAM and will be a good call for you.

more than 12GB? Because the only higher than 8GB is the one i said up on a comment

Your CPU "Might" be an issue for streaming, consider that too.

so you think radeon is not a problem on twitch streaming?

 

[nipav01]

That's more due to AMD's h.264 encoder's quality not as good as Nvidia/Intel. But if you have the right settings you can compensate for this (eg higher stream bandwidth).

CPU won't be an issue if you're using the GPU to encode the stream.

so with that been said if i choose nvidia i will have a better encoder's quality, otherwise i have to find the correct settings if that works. It sound better to go on the safest solution of nvidia even if i lose a couple of fps since the differences are not huge. If it was only for gaming purposes then for sure the radeon one.

Honestly from experience the quality is not that bad, especially for Twitch streaming. For the sake of future proofing you'll still be better off with the 6700.

so you think even with the cpu i have, i will not have any serious problem on the streaming? Genarally on the internet opinions differ between these 2

 

[nipav01]

You won't have any problems at all.

Thank you very much, i overthink it a lot but everyone helped so i hope i'll do the best choice!!

I'll do an update if everything is okay when i get it just if someone had the same question

 

[nipav01]

An update for someone that had the same dilemma, i got the 6700xt 12gb and i can say its completely fine. The games run smoothly and you can change whatever settings you want from amd software to your preferences. Now for the streaming unlikely i cannot stream because of the internet connection that i get max 2000 bandwidth even though my upload speed is 10mbps and i dont know what is the problem on that. If you can stream on 6000bitrate you are perfectly fine. Also there is a feature on amd software that you can stream from there and the quality was much better.

From the charts posted the differences are a lot more than 10%. You wont have any problen doing the things you want to do with the 6700xt. Finding the right setting is exactly the same running nvidia as it is with amd. Both will work with settings the software chooses for you. But you will get better performance with both nvidia and AMD if you change a setting or 2.

exactly, the settings are plenty so everyone can adjust them to their preferences
