Shoot from the Hip: RX7600 vs RX6650XT? [Poll]

[Down8]

I've got an RTX2060, and I'm considering a small upgrade.

Is either the RX7600 or the RX6650XT a good option? Which would be better? Seems they have similar performance, maybe 4-5% in the newer card's favor. But, the RX6650XT is a couple bucks cheaper and seems to use noticeably less power (I have an 850W PSU & a 12600K, so not worried on that front, but still...).

actually, a 7600 built by an AIB and a 6650 XT, should be nearly the same power consumption, on average. But, the 6650 XT will have higher power spikes.
AMD reference 7600, uses less power than 6600 XT.

Performance is very similar. Although the newer 7600 does seem to win more often. Especially with newer drivers. And you get AV1 encoding. All of them are noticeably better than the 3060.

But, you have to be careful about price. If you can get a 7600 for around $250 new----I say its a good buy. That said....you can get good deals on used 3060 ti...

You normally keeps cards this long? If so then it makes no sense to buy an 8gb card at this point as its already hitting that limit in a couple of games now. I would get a 6700xt or not even bother.

Yeah, the 8GB VRAM seems like the end of the line. So I'm looking at a bit more. Might say F-it & over-pay for an A770 for the clean look & 16GB.

In this price range, 6700 XT all day long while they last. 12GB should allow a more consistent usable play for newer games. 6700 10gb maybe a consideration but I would recommend a XT.
