Question Suggestion For z400 better graphics card

[Malik Haider Ali]

Hy there gamers Assalamualaikum:
I want some suggestions for my z400 model , cause I don't want to upgrade it whole because I have just some couples of months to enjoy on it .. so my graphics card is old which one I just wanted to upgrade but I don't know which one should I buy

I want to upgrade on the ( rx 5600 xt , rx 5500 xt , 1660 super , which one can support my PC ) , please tell me about 3 of these so if I get any of them I would easily buy ...

My PC details :

Rx 570 4gb 265bit ddr5 xfx
20gb ram ddr3
128gb Sata
1tb ssd Sata
450 watt


Thank you

5600XT should work referring to this bench someone made
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57642091

but the 5500XT and 1660S would do as well

I would opt for none of those cards, and instead go with the GTX 1660Ti. It outperforms all three cards you have listed, and fits your power supply constraints. The AMD RX 5600XT needs at least 550 watts to run properly. If you are willing to upgrade your power supply, then go with the 5600XT. If you don't want to make any other upgrades, and the 1660Ti is over budget, then grab the 5500XT. Hope this helped, take care.

UserBenchmark is an unreliable source of PC information, and AMD's own website lists the 5600XT requiring a 550 watt power supply at minimum. Could you get away with something lower? Maybe. Recommended for average user? Definitely not.

That's great, so what's the difference between 1660 super and 1660ti , both should work then ?

The 1660Ti has slightly higher clock speeds and more CUDA cores than the Super variant, all of which is to say it has better performance. It still works on a 450 watt power supply, and they are also fairly close in price.

Thank you so much buddy , I would definitely go for it ...

Only 30Watt more shouldn´t be a problem. AMD only states, that 550W is recommended for a RX5600xt, but I don´t think necessary. 450W should be fine.

Userbenchmark explanation:
Mostly it´s a great source for compatibility if it can work with a certain motherboard and CPU combination. And also the benchmarks can lead to solutions which component is bad in a system.

I don´t look at the benchmark result itself and the percentage it gives, that is unreliable for sure.

I'll reiterate, that UserBenchmark has misleading information at best, and flat out lies at worst. I'll also reiterate that I've already stated you could potentially get away with something lower. You must not have fully read my comment. Spreading hypotheticals as gospel and linking unreliable sources to average computer novices on a forum designed to help people is irresponsible. He could buy his 5600XT and use it with no issues, but if he runs into hardware problems, that reflects poorly on the forum. Hopefully that clears up my position.

that's why I tried to explain userbenchmarks compatibilty database, we just have different opinions about reliability and wattage.
