Hey!

Can someone help me out?

Im going to upgrade my graphic card soon(PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6600 8gb GDDR6) and i have a i3-10100f and i would like to know if they have good compability with each other and if i dont lose that much perfomance because of the i3-10100f

Sorry, your post doesn't make any sense. Upgrade your graphics card to what? You've left out info we need to be able to give you any advice.

IM SORRY! I JUST SAW IT NOW. Im going to upgrade my GT710  to a PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6600 8gb GDDR6

In all reality there is more to consider when doing any PC upgrading. The core of the issue comes from bottleneck identification and what you are attempting to do. With that CPU you will be able to run most games at a decent rate but the processor only supports up to PCIE 3.0 which the graphics card has PCIE 4.0 so all things considered, will the GPU be a decent upgrade? Yes, however it will be seriously bottlenecked by the capability of the CPU. Past that there is the consideration of the motherboard. If you are a budget builder, getting something that is a better match for the core of your system will always be better (and cheaper) than getting something newer that wont fully be utilized. That GPU looks to be about 312$ USD. which for that same price you can get a Nvidia GTX 1650 for less cost (155$-219$) and match the PCIE 3.0 spec. plus the benchmark and cost performance is better, so my suggestion would be to go with a different GPU.

In the country that i live, the 1660 super is 270€ and the rx 6600 is 480€ but because of christmas discounts it is 280€, i knew about the bottleneck but i dont know if it would be that big of a bottleneck since i have pci 3.0 slot and a pci 3.0 x16 ( and i was questioning my self if it would be a nice upgrade bc of the x16)

Simple answer is that you can put the PCIE4.0 card into a PCIE 3.0 slot. But it will only get the performance of a PCIE 3.0 card. Yes the RTX6600 is a better card and would work as a decent upgrade in your system, you wont see any major performance upgrades until you remove the other bottlenecks in your system (cpu/motherboard)

No. The RX 6600 is not held back in any meaningful way by being on PCIe 3.0. It's simply not a fast enough card to saturate the PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. 

 

For reference, an RTX 3080 loses like ~2% performance from running at PCIe 3.0 x16 instead of 4.0 x16, and the RX 6600 is a much slower card than the 3080. https://www.techspot.com/review/2104-pcie4-vs-pcie3-gpu-performance/

 

@squzzly Do not worry about this.

Good point about the PCIE 4 vs 3. I was more referring to the i3 processor in this instance though. Either way going from the GT710 to the AMD 6600 will be a major upgrade and if he did find it on sale for that, it will be a good choice.

So after all this discussion would you both agree that rx 6600 is a "good" card for both my motherboard and processor and that i wouldnt lose that much performance? @zipspence @Middcore

If you can get it at that price, it will be a good upgrade. It will outrun your CPU, but also give you good future upgradability in that area as well, there is no negative to getting that card. When I suggested the GTX1650 that was purely for cost reduction.
