GPU Upgrade

Hi, I've been looking to upgrade my good old trusty GTX 1060 6GB for a while. I'm willing to spend 450$ at most, I'll be mainly using it for gaming (1080p 144Hz) and for ocasional video editing (DaVinci), because I want to start my own YT channel. I'm rocking Ryzen 7 5700X and my first choice is RX 6700 XT because of 12GB VRAM, good performance in 1080p and OK performance at editing but I've seen that RTX 3060 ti is worse in perfromance and lacks 4GB of VRAM but does better job at editing. I'll be grateful for any advice (I should mention that I don't care for Ray Tracing and DLSS). I'm really looking for best bang for the buck deal.

I'd also look at a used 3080 (if you can buy used) as those can be had for around 450 ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC 10GB Graphics Card 810012082402 | eBay

 

If only new then get a 3070 Zotac GAMING AMP Holo GeForce RTX 3070 LHR 8 GB Video Card (ZT-A30700F-10PLHR) - PCPartPicker

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

That's a good 450$ spent, go with it. don't underestimate RX6700XT at editing because it can do the job properly. the big difference is when you want to do some 3D things or animation things because those 3060TI 's Cuda core is pretty much undeniable/

i'd say 450$ is enough for a brand new RX 6750 XT cause you still get 12GB Vram and better for gaming

i am the one who upgraded gtx 1060 to RX6700XT too and it's been great

I mean either cards recommends 650W, but it would be far better for us to know than be shocked.

I'm gonna change the psu anyway for something newer so it doesn't matter. But since you are interested Chieftec A80 650W (CTG-650C)

Yeah then id go for 6700XT. Resolve OpenCL support is pretty good and you're going to go for a PSU swap anyway.

Right now videocardz.com posted that RX 7800/7700 are expected to launch in september so maybe I'll hold my horses and wait for 7700 😆.
