GPU for (budget) R5 5600X build

[joshbcd]

Hi Folks,

 

Im currently upgrading my PC and now need help considering a reasonable GPU for my R5 5600X. 
 

I do Gaming quite a bit, and also do video editing in davinci resolve, which I currently only have the free version of (no gpu rendering) but am planning to upgrade in the future.

 

Currently, my consideration is between a RX 6750XT(I can get for 220€ used),

3060 ( which I can get for 150€ used) or 3080/RX6800(which i can get for 300-400€ used). 
3080 or RX6800 are a bit over my budget, i would want to spend no more than 250€.

 

Which would you choose? Are there others to put into consideration?

ive seen 9060xt 8gb as low as 250usd, depending on ur local pricing it could be an option.

I would think DaVinci Resolve works best with CUDA acceleration, so you should look at nvidia cards if that's your plan. If you're looking at 3060s, see if you can get one with 12GB of VRAM.

Nope

Some AI tasks on it could see some benefit from Nvidia obviiously but Davinci doesnt suffer Adobe-itis aka AMD gpus especially 900 series are more than fine for it

Puget Systems does plenty of performance benchmarks for DaVinci Resolve, and AMD historically and currently does not do well compared to nvidia cards. 7900 XTX performance doesn't even match a 3080 Ti that has half the VRAM. AMDs raster advantage doesn't matter as much as feature-set and validation, and clearly nvidia takes the crown for those in Resolve.

I want you to SLOWLY re read what I wrote and look at these and since we got a few things I'll TL DR it here

-Unless AI, AMD=Nvidia in similarly priced GPUs

-Puget often lies/doesnt state 100% true facts cause shareholders

 

Here is the extended explanation as to why you are not right and why what you said is wrong

https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/video-editing-workstations/davinci-resolve/hardware-recommendations/

Source where you can see even more benchmarks where the 7900xtx is on par with or super close to a 4080 and 4090 

Unless AI is involved AMD GPUs are anything but "not doing well" since their difference in performance (again without AI which is a specific scenario that could also never come up) is within margin of error 

Also taking puget as gospel is a bad idea cause their investors and top ranking invidicuals are pretty close with Intel if not outright investors so they only have to gain by swaying the pendulum towards Nvidia and intel every time they can

Heres where you can start reading about it a bit more and get into the rabbit hole

On Ebay I see RTX 4060ti 8GB listings for ~€270, slightly overbudget. For a new GPU, I see RX 9060 (non XT 8GB) for €259 on Newegg.

3060 non-Ti was always a bit underwhelming. Ti was a lot better but its VRAM limitations are hurting it these days and would put me off.

 

6700/6750xt are solid options with 3070 performance but more VRAM.

 

However, a 9060 16gb might be worth stretching to given FSR4, depending on pricing in your region.

 

Here in the UK a 6700XT is about £250ish used, and a new 9060 is £315, which i think makes it appealing, new with warranty, better perfomance, better upscaler, more VRAM, etc etc.

 

As for Davinci Resolve, unless its for routine paying production work, i wouldnt really pay too much focus there, even if card X or Z is slower, its not really a big deal. Focus on the gaming side.
