[SOLVED] 1650 Super vs 6500 XT: which would be better in my case

[boozlepuzzle]

Hello everyone, I greet you from Uruguay, for some context, sadly here we have some dumb legislation that charges you a tax of 60% if you import anything that costs more than 200 dollars, so for that reason and because I'm on a budget, I can only buy GPUs 200 dollars or less.

Lately I've been looking at the 6500 XT with very dear eyes, but sadly my mobo has a PCI 3.0 interface, so it wouldn't reach its full potential

Today I was browsing Amazon when I saw a 1650 Super, at $199.99, then I saw this benchmark comparing them, and the 1650 Super using PCI 3.0 runs at almost the same speed as the 6500 XT with PCI 4.0

So, my (probably dumb) question is, should I go for this 1650 Super?, it would be much better than buying the 6500 XT and using it with 3.0 right?

(in case it's needed, I have a 3200G processor and my mobo is the Gygabyte A320M - S2H)

Thanks a lot!

The PCI revision is going to have little to no effect on the end performance of your GPU. Select the one with the best performance, price, and look.

The 6500XT only has 4 x PCIe lanes so with your system being v 3.0 the 1650super is probably better for you.
