Should I go Nvidia or AMD?

[MrVortexGT]

Budget (including currency): 250-300€

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: F1 22 and future F1 games, BeamNG.drive, Assetto Corsa, CS:GO, Warzone 2.0, DaVinci Resolve, Gameplay recording and streaming

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):

My current PC:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Redux

RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX@3600 Mhz

Motherboard: MSI A520M A Pro

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB

PSU: EVGA 850W BQ

Case: Fractal Pop Air

 

I'm gonna play at 1080p or maybe 1440p and 75Hz when I get a better Monitor. My GPU is the only thing I'm currently looking to upgrade as the 1060 is showing its age. I have been thinking of switching to Linux (Pop OS) which could be a big point for AMD but the whole recording and streaming situation is better on Nvidia (I have heard). The cards I was looking at were the RTX 3060 for Nvidia and the RX 6600 or 6600XT for AMD. I would really like to keep the GPU for a long time as I cannot upgrade often. I'm probably going to be able to buy something in May or June. Most of the time AMD cards seem to be cheaper than Nvidia. I have been thinking about this for a long time and just cant decide.

for your budget go amd, the 6600 xt can nearly go head to head with the 3060 ti just watch this vid of a comparison between them, but intel's also an option and it isn't a bad deal but if you go intel maybe spring for the a770 for the extra vram for only 30 euros more Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition 16GB PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

Buy a used 6700xt, they go for around 300€ on ebay and should last longer than buying a new 6600xt or 3060

At such a budget you got the choice between AMD or betatest Intel cards

a770? Got a lot of vram

AMD has better value than Nvidia as well as open source drivers. Their GPUS also works better with linux and uses less power than their Nvidia counterparts. The RTX 40 series is also extremely overpriced. If you are looking at using ray tracing then go with Nvidia since ray tracing performance on AMD is poor.
