Hello. I'm looking to buy a new GPU, for gaming purposes. Have 16gb rams, Ryzen 5 3600, b550 phantom gaming motherboard. 

I will pair it with 1080p 144hz monitor, will play wide variety of games, WoW, rocket league, dota 2, elden ring, god of war, cyberpunk 2077 and other modern games.

So I'd like to get one of the three mentioned below: Rx 6600xt, rx6650xt, rtx 3060. Sadly 3060ti is out of question ATM since it's 150 euro more expensive in stores in my country. So please give me some insight.

 

Here's what I have found on YouTube, but those reviews are most likely sponsored and biased but basically 6600xt outperforms 3060 by a decent margin(according to videos), 6650xt is more expensive then 6600xt and only slightly better(again, according to videos). 

 

P.S. stay safe and take care.

This is why.

 

 

I've seen plenty of these videos. I would honestly like a first hand experience information. And I'm not looking into 1440p gaming but 1080p with 144refresh rate, 144fps without screen tearing

Only buy 3060 if you need/will benefit from DLSS from the specific games you play. Otherwise 6600 XT, 6650 XT depending on the price are no-brainers.

 

For instance, from my personal experience, I never considered AMD cards as Call of Duty Warzone only supports DLSS.

 

But now that Warzone 2 is coming out, if it supports FSR 2.0, I'll consider AMD as well as Nvidia.

Currently 6600xt is 580euro and 6650xt is close to 650ruro. Is 70euro more worth it for 6650xt? Also, the cheapest 6600xt and 6650xt are both powerhouse hellhound versions(power something, not 100% sure if it's powerhouse). Should I aim for a card from another brand? Asus or something?

Where are you buying from ? Or at least in what country ?

@LegoJohnDoeThe 6650XT is not worth 70 eur more. it's about 5% faster than the 6600XT. With those prices i'd get the 6600 XT.

 

And for reviews, the only youtube reviews for GPUs you can take as gospel are HardwareUnboxed and GamersNexus. And to a lesser degree techpowerup is really good for that relative performance comparison.
