Help me decide what gpu to buy
Posted by Fabulous-Royal-4563@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Im looking to upgrade my 1660 super to a new gpu. I currently run a ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 super with 16 gigs of ddr4 3200. My 1660 super isnt holding up too well with this new games and I cant play like solid games at 60 fps consistentaly. I was wondering what card should I upgrade too in the around 200-400$ range. My computer is about 4 years old and haven't really upgraded since.

When I was looking to invest in some GPUs I use for various ML tasks in late 2024, this website helped me to compare the various options on the market and find the right one.
https://gpuprices.io/
It lists and ranks GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD I think scraped from the Amazon US website. The ranking system is based on a combination of price, specs, and customer ratings.

used: 3080, 6800xt, 6700xt, etc.
new: nothing. Don't buy new at this price range.

6700xt ++
6800xt -- bottleneck
3080 -- bottleneck

cpu bottleneck just means you can turn up the graphics settings lol.
But yes, you will probably get a cpu bottleneck once into the 3080 performance range.
The best move would be to get a 5700x3d and 3080/6800xt, but that becomes a 600$ upgrade instead of 200-400. lol

yeah ik im gonna get a bottle neck at that range but im not rlly looking to upgrade cpu rn mainly gpu cuz im running into issues
changen@reddit
6700xt is probably your best bet then. 200$ used on ebay.
I would not buy ANYTHING used unless it's ebay or local (craigslist, facebook marketplace, etc). Ebay has buyer protection and local you can ask for in-person testing.
If they don't allow in person testing, then it's scam. Move on lol.

Okay ill look at some listings on ebay and facebook marketplace. Thank you for the help, so 6700xt not 6800xt because of bottle necking issues?
Fabulous-Royal-4563@reddit (OP)
Thanks for the response but wont my cpu get bottle necked by those cards. Also what sites do you recommend for used.

I had a 6800xt with the 3600 and it was a decent pairing
