GTX 1080 or RX 6600XT

Budget (including currency): sub 650

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: HFR 1080p RDR 2, No Man's Sky, Forza Horizon 5

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a 1080p 144Hz freesync monitor, 5600x and 16GB 3200 CL16 MEMORY.

Should I stick with my GTX 1080 or go for the 6600XT?聽 I'd go for the 3060 TI buy my microcenter only has the radeon card.聽

They have the 6700XT but that's way out of budget at 900+

honestly with current pricing i'd say just wait out with your 1080. The performance improvement you get from upgrading to a 6600XT isn't worth it imo and you'd lose cool nvidia only features like CUDA and NVENC

Just stick with your GTX 1080,聽I wouldn't consider it enough of an upgrade. A GTX 1080 is still a great card, and while the 6600XT is a little faster, it's worst case identical performance, and best case 1080 Ti performance. It's at most one tier of GPU better, but only barely, and not worth spending $500-600 on a new card.

The GTX 1080 has aged stupid well, and I'm honestly envious of the people who have one as it still does only slightly worse than the RTX 3060 in terms of raster performance.

Hold onto it with dear life and hold off on an upgrade for as long as you can. There's no reason to upgrade unless you're really itching to turn on RTX for some reason, (edited in:) in which case I'd hold off until I could get a 3060 Ti at minimum.

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit.聽Apologies in advance.
