Where are you seeing such prices & from where you bought it?If you're open to used the option increases you could easily get 6600xt for 15-17k with some warranty left. I bought I used Rx 6600 for 11500
I recently built a pc and got a quote from local shopWhere are you seeing such prices & from where you bought it?
Wrong, double the performance & VRAM. For 20k, it is decent for a new card, as anything cheaper is just bad, like waste of money. Check the graph posted above (RX580 is where 1650S is, bit lower than that actually considering that's 8GB VRAM model).RX6600 isnt much of an upgrade from a 1650 super.
I would prefer Nvidia but I agree with the rest, for 1440p and below, 8gb cards are chugging along just fine, it's probably copium from my side but DLSS/RT support for me is on a higher priority than vram, my 5i has a 3070ti M (equivalent to a 3060ti), and I ran fricking path tracing on it in Cyberpunk and it as very playable, with low 40s average, and DLSS is just DLSS, no need for me to say anything,Wrong, double the performance & VRAM.

My recommendation will be used RX 6700XT, if not used 3060Ti under 18k or used 3070 for ~20k (all can be had with about 1 year warranty remaining in used market, even cheaper if w/o warranty, but I won't recommend those).
I have a 2+ years old 3070. 8GB VRAM is surely not enough for 1440p now in all the latest games. 8GB is still fine for 1080p gaming for sure.I would prefer Nvidia but I agree with the rest, for 1440p and below, 8gb cards are chugging along just fine, it's probably copium from my side but DLSS/RT support for me is on a higher priority than vram, my 5i has a 3070ti M (equivalent to a 3060ti), and I ran fricking path tracing on it in Cyberpunk and it as very playable, with low 40s average, and DLSS is just DLSS, no need for me to say anything,
That said, for OP, my recommendation would be to hold off on any purchase if you can, Nvidia is gonna be launching 50xx this year and used 40xx series will be flooding the market soon enough, and. you'll get access to DLSS FG (which is again superior to FSR 3's FG by a margin)
eh, the only games where I had to lower textures was forbidden west and phantom liberty but yeah we are barely scraping by, still I am pretty biased towards Nvidia, dlss is just magic, I really wish amd would release their own ML upscaling solution, at this point it's just stubbornness by themI have a 2+ years old 3070. 8GB VRAM is surely not enough for 1440p now in all the latest games. 8GB is still fine for 1080p gaming for sure.
Reason - PS5 has like 10GB VRAM apparently, so games are optimised for that. So you have to lower textures even though the GPU is competent enough.
not worth it, if warranty is not your concern go for 3070 and 3060ti if you want warranty at least 1 year warranty.Is a used 3060 12gb good at 20K ? 5 months old.
No, 3060s normally go for around 15-16k. 20k is 3070/6700XT territory.Is a used 3060 12gb good at 20K ? 5 months old.
3060 (non-Ti) for 15-16k with around 1 year warranty left?No, 3060s normally go for around 15-16k. 20k is 3070/6700XT territory.
Yes, I've seen plenty on the FB Marketplace, with warranties ranging from a few months to a year. Tis normally go for 17.5-19k, depending on the model and warranty.3060 (non-Ti) for 15-16k with around 1 year warranty left?
