Worth the upgrade?

[scorchedbee]

Reassurance needed

just sold my Red Dragon Vega 56 for £455 and bought the RX6600XT nitro+ for £389.

I don’t mine, and play at 1440p with a Ryzen 3600.

I know it might not be a huge upgrade but some more performance, less power and £66 in my pocket.

thoughts?

Umm, what's the question? You want someone to say you're not an idiot?

 

[Darujhistan]

Why do you need advice for something you have already bought?

 

[scorchedbee]

Maybe not advice, reassurance I’m not an idiot is about right! Post edited!

 

[gitbags]

You got cash back and a performance boost, seems like a win win. Not an idiot

you got a warranty and an upgrade, not a bad deal that

 

[scorchedbee]

Just doubted myself as I’m really unsure with the latest GPU prices and felt like it might be too good to be true! Had a look at the reviews of 6600xt

Apologies if the post was pointless, just needed the reassurance I haven’t made a mistake

You got cash back and a performance boost, AND you can still be an idiot, seems like a win win win!

Not an idiot for doing said deal, bit of an idiot for posting a thread about it afterwards

yeah I feel that way now, just had the post purchase feeling of “what have I done”

 

[XBloodyR]

Sounds like a great deal.

 

[rayraydj]

I mean good for you, you'll be getting like 35% better performance out of the 6600xt for 1440p gaming, and the nitro+ is one of the nicer cards

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

It's a good deal, but as already said, stupid that you'd ask the question AFTER you've done it.

 

[dave28]

just use it and be happy, not worth thinking about it too much

I sold my Vega 56 before Christmas for £220

Even if I was given a 6600XT for free, I'd still be £66 worse off than the OP.

This thread really is so the OP can boast about being the luckiest person in the world.

Or your the unluckiest

It is obviously a good deal with a new card under warranty, better performance, less power use, and new feature set ie Direct 12 ultimate. The price is also nearer to MRSP than many purchases. However, whether someone sees it as the best purchase is an individual decision, eg some people might have wanted to put some extra money towards upgrading to a 3070 or 6800. However, you look at it enjoy your card

should have bought a 3060ti FE, being it's the same price but faster than a 6600xt, but otherwise a fine move

side step maybe, but can't argue with the cash back. Wait till 4000 series
