Planning to get GPU in the few next months

[TukangUsapEmenq]

Yes, here I am, asking again about GPU, essential specs as below.

 

Intel Xeon E3-1225 v2 3.2 GHz 4C/4T CPU

ASRock B75M Motherboard

Hynix 8 GB + Team Group 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM (will go for 16GB either when I'd get the GPU)

be quiet! System Power 9 500W PSU

 

My brother's PC got a 1050 Ti, so I expect mine would be similar, or higher performance than his. I game on 1366x768 monitor (would go for 1080p later on, after I upgrade my whole setup ofc).

 

I planned to get either RX 560/RX 570, as it's merely kind of cheap enough for nowadays, and I used some before on a friend's PC. Yes, I know it'd bottleneck a bit, I'll upgrade the PC later to a more recent one as I deem necessary.

 

Yet, I saw both RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT, and I only have to add few bucks to get them, and I get a kind-of more efficient GPU anyway. I saw RX 6400 being a little more powerful than 1050 Ti (despite the price's brand new are near the same), and RX 6500 XT being faster than RX 570. Problem is, they both are running on PCIe 4.0 (it's running on x4 though), while my setup still on PCIe 3.0. I don't know if it would be problematic for me, that's why I ask here if it do. Plus, Linus' video about RX 6500 XT made me... Skeptical, I don't know why, despite if that's actually a decent 'budget' GPU. That 64-bit memory bus on RX 6500 XT vs RX 570 on 256-bit though what concerns me the most.

 

As for the future upgade (which will happen long enough that RTX 6 series would be out anyway), probably I'll get to something like i3-10105F with 16 GB of RAM.

 

So from all of mentioned cards (RX 570, RX 6400, RX 6500 XT), which would be the best for me to pick? I don't tell my budget as I'd save the money first to get the item anyway.

I don't plan to use Windows 11 yet. So... It's 'unofficially supported' for Windows 10 or what? Kinda confusing tbh.

My apologies I posted in wrong thread.

 

I would much rather recommend you to get a RX570 instead of RX6500. You will be heavily bottlenecked on PCIE3.0 interface.

Well, that makes a lot of sense either, as to confirm if the card's got x4 interface, it'd run on x4 regardless on PCIe version, right, hence the bottleneck?

 

Yet, how about RX 6400?

Think of it this way,

At the best use case scenario (on PCIE4.0) RX6500XT is identical in performance to RX 570 in games if not better in some, however you would be running it in PCIE3 x4 mode and it will be a 10 to 20% reduced performance.

 

I would avoid anything below RX6600.

Duly noted then, RX 570 it is then. Thanks for the advice.
