Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll end up going with the 580 because of my budget, would love to go for the 1660 but here in Argentina the difference between the 2 cards is around 100 USD and the market is really unstable, so I want to buy at the earliest date possible! Just between yesterday and today the RX 580 went from 200USD to 220 USD and the 1660 went from 300 to 320. And I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but in pesos (Argentinas Currency) 20 dollars is 2400 pesos, thats around 2days and half of work for an above average minimum wage job. Sorry for all the unecesarry info, thanks again for all the feedback!

I see, thank you!!

That's the CPU i would want to get, I'm an Archetecture student and use Lumion, Twinmotion, Revit, Photoshop and some other programs that would benefit from more cores. But Right now I have to invest in a RX 580 8GB or a 1650Super 4Gb because my CPU is bottlenecked with a GTX 750 2Gb. After that I'm gonna start saving to upgrade my Motherboard and CPU, wish I could do it all in one but now really possible right now. Thanks for the reply and feedback!

I see, thanks for the reply BobVonBob, but will the price benefit really be worth it be more beneficial to change to from example a B450 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 1600AF or 3300X?

I have an I7-3820 CPU 4 Cores 4 threads, if I wanted to update, is there a better CPU I could buy or am I looking at a full Motherboard-CPU and RAM change?

I see, thank you. Do you have any idea if there is a better LGA 2011 socket CPU I could buy? If there isn't one I'm looking at a whole Motherboard-CPU-RAM combo change.

Sketchup, Lumion, Twinmotion, Photoshop, Autocad and I'm starting to do some light video editing with Audobe Premiere.

Hi guys, which of these cards do you recommend? I work with medium sized 3D models, some rendering, and tend to have various programs open at the same time. I have an I7-3820 with a GTX 750 (2gb). I believe the RX5500 XT is faster than the 1650S and the 1650S is faster than the 580, but the 580 has 8gb VRam and the others only have 4Gb.

I've been looking at the sort of the same problem, although i have an older Procesor (I7-3820) and currently running a GTX 750 (2GB). But I'm bottlenecked, so I've been looking at GPU's and what I have found is that a GTX 1650 Super is around the same as a RX 580. But the 1650super has 4GB and the RX 580 has 8GB, and I believe that getting a 580 because it's a little cheaper. Otherwise you have to jump to a 1660 S or a later 10 series..Unless you want to get into the used market. As to your bottleneck dilema I recommend this site https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ I'm not sure how accurate it is, but gives you a general idea and is easy to use.

Thank you Orange_dogg for all your feedback. Yeah the dream for me is to get to 32GB of RAM, good thing you confirmed the fact that I can only use DDR3 1600MHz as I was about to buy DDR4 3000MHz RAM thinking I would benefit.

Sorry for repeting the messages, I just now noticed how to properly Respond.

Hi Orange_dogg, first of all thanks for the feedback! So if I understand you correctly the RX 580 would be better for my Architecture style workload, correct? I don't really understand in depth the difference between the 2 GPU's listed, but I also found that the GTX has better driver stability (Not sure if this problem has been fixed), I can't really afford having complications. And the Ryzen 7 2700x is a looong ways away for me I believe, just because of the prices I've been seeing, so by then I may be able to upgrade to a better GPU. Thanks for the cooling input, I actually had no idea how to pick one properly, now I'll look at similarly priced models and actually understand the difference. My current motherboard has 4 slots and I think it supports up to 64Gb of RAM, have not been able to identify what

Hi Brok3n, as mentioned in the post I currently have an Intel Core I7-3820 3.6Ghz with a 2gb GTX 750 (I know, it's extremely bottlenecked, something I just recently learned), 8gb of RAM (1600Mhz) and liquid cooling (which I have to replace) and a CoolerMaster (MasterWatt Lite) 700W (80Plus White) Power Supply. Currently rocking just a HardDrive, but will soon adquire and install an SSD.

Hi guys, I'm currently at a crossroads and hoping you can help me out. I'm an Architecture Student, currently going into my 4th year, the first few years I didn't really do too much intensive 3D rendering or modeling but now I'm basically doing Parts of a City with a lot of components making up the model and even producing short videos that do a walkthrough of the model. I use Autocad, Sketchup, Revit, Photoshop, and sometimes TwinMotion or Lumion, altough with my current setup I can't really say my work time is really efficient because of the downtime I have waiting for my PC to catch up. I do end up having many of these programs open at the same time and in some cases use older versions just to be able to run them, which really doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't overclock my Rig, just because I don't really want to and am a Light Gamer. My current setup is about 10years old, I've gotta say I'm surprised it's still kicking. It has an Intel Core I7-3820 3.6Ghz with a 2gb GTX 750 (I know, it's extremely bottlenecked, something I just recently learned), 8gb of RAM (1600Mhz) and liquid cooling (which I have to replace) and a CoolerMaster (MasterWatt Lite) 700W (80Plus White) Power Supply. I have to specify that I am from Argentina so getting a larger market of component is hard and the economy here is just terribly unstable. With that in mind, I was saving up to buy a whole new system and sell mine as is (Was looking at a Mother: MSI B450M Pro-M2 Max, Procesor: Ryzen 5 1600AF / Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 2700X, Cooler: CPU ID-Cooling SE-214 Intel 1151 AMD AM4, RAM: 2 Sticks of DDR4 4GB 3200Mhz, ASUS 4GB GTX 1650 Super GDDR6 ROG Strix Advanced or an Asrock 8GB RX 580 OC PhantomGaming, Deepcool 600W DA600 80Plus Bronze, SSD+Hardrive and a nice but cheap case) but since I found out my current CPU is 100% bottlenecked and it's taking me serious time to save up the whole amount for that setup, I thought: Why not just buy a better Graphics Card and some more RAM (I think I am limited to 1600Mhz with my processor) and buy the rest at a later date (or maybe even get the Ryzen 3 3300X). My questions for you guys are: 1. Which graphics card do you think is better for my workload? The GTX 1650 Super (4GB) or the RX 580 (8GB)? 2. If I were to update the whole RIG at a later date, which procesor do you recommend for my workload? I know some of the programs I use will take advantage of multithreading, so more cores will benefit me, but does the new Ryzen 3 3300X Architecture make up the diference with less cores? 3. What new cooling system do you recommend for my CPU? I have an LGA - 2011 socket. I don't mind switching to aircooling, it'll probably be cheaper for me. I have this liquid cooling in mind "FrostFlow X 120 1151 and AMD AM4" or this air cooling "SE-214 Intel 1151 AMD AM4". The difference in price es about double (the aircooling is about 2200 Pesos (20USD) and the liquid cooling is around 5200 Pesos (44USD). 4. Am I correct on my current RAM situation or can I buy and use higher frequency RAM? For those you you that take the time to read this and respond I thank you dearly, I apologize for the long post! Hope to hear from someone soon. If any other information is needed please leave a comment.
