i3 10100f with 3050 or upgrade

[Michisha96]

So now I have i3 10100f 16gb ram and gt1030.

I want to get help in my decision should I get:

i5 11400f + rx6500xt to benefit from the pcie 4 price 434$.

Stay with i3 and get the rx6500xt and use it with pcie 3.

Or get the 3050 instead price 434$.

 

The price is based on where I leave

How about just an RX 6600?

the 6500XT or a 3050 should work just fine.

460$ worth in compare to 3050 for 430$ and my i3 can handle the rtx6600 on pcie 3 ?

It will though as the 6500xt is limited to only 4 PCIE lanes so there is a greater chance of that throttling vs. the 3050 which has 8 and thereby access to double the bandwidth.

so the better choice is the 3050 because the 6500xt will throttle as I understand ?
in the past i had the 1060 6gb is the 6500xt have better performance then the 1060 just to compare ?

They are in the same ballpark. If you already have a 1060 then I won't recommend upgrading.

i sold the 1060 a year a go long story.
now i want to decide what is more worth it if i play warzone for example on 1080p 
save money and buy the 6500xt or get the 3050 for the future proof 
or wait with my 1030 till the price drop more ahahah

Your system can handle the RX 6600 if you can afford it. And it won't be limited by the PCI-E 3.0 slot cause it uses all PCI-E lanes.

It's a lot stronger than the RTX 3050, not to mention the 6500XT which is comparable to a 1060 3GB card.
