Question Upgrade to RX 6600

[Nenoss]

My current build goes like this

GTX 1060 3gb
Ryzen 5 2400g
Biostar A320mh PRO
16gb ram 8x2 DDR4 2400mhz

I plan to buy an RX 6600 one of these days, and i am aware there will be bottleneck in some more CPU-Bound games, but i wanted to see the opinions of from the experts around here. Is there anything else i should take note of? I'll buy a more suited Ryzen 5 5600 eventually

Should be a nice 2x performance bump!

A worthwhile GPU upgrade, only obvious thing would be to check your PSU was sufficient though it's not much higher in power consumption over what you have so I would expect it to be fine.

Installed a RX 6600 in a build for a family member. I was very surprised with this GPU, it works awesome!

You will not experience bottleneck with a 6600 at 1080 resolutions, maybe about 3% (With the XT version) with your current processor. Although a 5600 will greatly help with performance.

Thanks to both of you for your kind answers!

I should also add the following to my specs:

240GB SSD Kingston
1x2 1TB HDD
Power Supply of 600W 80 Plus Bronze


I'll order the GPU tomorrow, thanks again!

In my honest opinion you should stick with this graphics give a nice upgrade to cpu+board+ram,
the graphics you still have is still playable.
Ryzen 5500 or 5600, a cheap board, and 16 or 32gb.
then you thought about buying an RX 6600 or an XT
You won't have Bottleneck problems, but that's how I would do it, you would end the DDR4 platform with the 5th generation and it would last for a good few more years, RX 6000 should go down more in terms of value.
