Graphic Cards Advice on gpu upgrade

[raj#123]

I have computer with i3 12100f and psu of 450w and am planning to upgrade my gpu which is a gt 610 ( I bought this for pure video out ) now I have a budget of around 20k to 25k iam thinking of going with rtx 3060 or rx 7600 any suggestions?

if you are ok with used products, you may get a used 3070 or 6700xt within 20k-25k. For those you would need a 650W PSU.

for new GPUs, I would go personally with 4060 because that consumes less power than a 3060 and would go well with your current psu.

I think 4060 is your best bet if you don’t want to upgrade your supply and it will save you money on the long run if you’re going to use the gpu performance for long duration daily.

Used 3060Ti at 16-17k (or used 6700XT at 18k) + a new 650W PSU (at least bronze rated)

Else, only 4060 is efficient enough for your PSU (it is considered a poorly priced product), performs ~25% worse than an used 3060Ti or 6700XT

As someone with a 6700 XT, I'd tell you to steer clear of it (and AMD GPUs in general).

• Drivers are fiddly af, I had to experiment so much just to get the most out of it. My previous GPU (1050 Ti), in comparison, was a complete breeze to set-up and I never had any driver issues with it.
• Adrenaline drivers are a nightmare; the full version uses wayy too many resources and the minimal version is straight up useless with a lot of missing features.
• Many DX11 games perform terribly. You used to be able to replace the DXNavi dlls with old ones in the registry (see what I mean when I say "fiddly drivers"?) but AMD put a stop to that.
• FSR (both upscaling and framegen) is complete dogwater compared to DLSS and XeSS.

There are more reasons why I think AMD cards are not worth it but this post is too long as it is.
All I know is that I'm never buying AMD GPUs in the future again lol.

Get a used RTX 3060 12gb or a new RTX 4060 8gb.

I've been trying to get my hands on a used 3060 12gb but all I find are shady dealers. :/
