Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my old GPU now that there are some windows with "normal" pricing.
I don't plan to burn my money but to do an upgrade that keeps me going 2 or 3 years more at decent frame-rates with new games.
This is my current setup:
i7 6700K
Asus Z170-A
16GB ram
Sapphire R9 Fury 4GB
EVGA Supernova B2 750W
I play at 1080p 144Hz
Checking the market I was initially looking for a RTX 2060 6GB/12GB but I came to the conclusion that AMD offers me better performance for less/same price.
So what I am considering right now:
RX 6600(non XT) PCIE 4.0 x8 - (arround 270 EUR)
RX 6700(non XT) PCIE 4.0 x16 (arround 330 EUR)
My doubts are with having severe or noticeable bottlenecks with the RX 6700 or it's still viable?
Also what concerns me a bit is that RX 6600 apparently more suitable has only x8 memory slots while RX 6700 has x16. So my PCIE 3.0 x16 motherboard would benefit more with the later but I am not sure how impactful/relevant that is.
Could you please give me some feedback? is RX 6700(non XT) too much for my CPU at 1080p 144Hz? Should I just go with the 6600?
