6700xt or 9060xt 16gb?
Posted by MapOk8830@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 10 comments
So I’m thinking about upgrading my old pc since I recently got a new 1440p monitor, I have a i5-10500 and a 1660s, I’m choosing between a used 6700xt for around $180 or a brand new 9060xt for around $400, which one should I go with?

both may struggle at 1440p at max settings, so I would rather save money and buy 6700xt. At the same time, considering you don't mind used cards, $400 could buy much better GPUs

You can watch this video on how they compare to each other, but basically on avarage in 18 games the 6700xt gives you around 52fps and 9600xt 16GB gives you 70fps. That's $3.5 cost/frame for the 6700xt and $5.7 cost/frame for the 9060xt. That being said, the 9060xt is 2.5x faster in ray tracing (6700xt basically unusable) and has newer features like FSR 4.1, but it's up to you to decide if that's important to you.
Just don't get an 8GB GPU

I would go with 6700xt personally, because even then it's an overkill for the games I would play (path of exile, retro games, RuneScape). go for rx 6600 if you want to save even more, it's slightly less than 6700, but consumes incredibly little power

Runescape still works on my old i7 3770 with GT630 (2GB) and 8GB RAM.

6700xt is a bit weaker but a steal for 180. Id say to get the 6700xt and upgrade when u need.

6700XT for $180 and just upgrade sooner.

Have you tried looking to find a used 3080ti for around $400?
Not up to date on pricing, but that was possible last year.

If you can spend $400, 9060xt. If you need money and can't afford to spend that much, 6700xt. You can also look around for 9060xt 8gb if you want a new gen gpu.

9060 xt 16gb is very new, wouldnt be used either, has more vram, thats probably best i think

This was the last post here I commented on:

If we were to assume that a graphics card might last 7-10 years, you're buying one that is now 5+ years old - it might last as few as 1-2 years before physically breaking. A GPU with 5+ years of life left in it would be worth more.
It's also old enough that AMD no longer care if it's optimized or works with current or future games:

But $180 isn't bad if you want a temporary card that you plan to replace in a year or two.
