Question I9-9900t: RTX 3050 or RTX 3060

[Imacflier]

Hi All,

Use case; general office, gaming, rendering, CAD in order of use.

I have an Elitedesk 800 mini with the I-9900t installed. I also have, on hand, an RTX 3050 and an RTX 3060.

Which of the two GPUs will better pair with the I-9900t (and why)?

Please note that the GPU will be externally mounted via an ADT-Link M.2 Key M NVMe External Graphics Card Stand Bracket with PCIe3.0 x4 Riser Cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYZSX55/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1​

Although compatible, I do not want to upgrade to an I9-9900k at this time although it is a possibility if I can solve the cooling problem.

TIA,

Larry

For everything you've stated, xx60 offers more performance than xx50 series in everything.

As above^. RTX3060, simples!
