Looking for recommendations to upgrade the GPU

wNotyarD · Apr 28, 2024

If I were to decide between a 6750XT and a 3060 non-TI at the same budget, I wouldn't think twice and get the Radeon.
Yes, it consumes more power. Yes, FSR is inferior to DLSS. In such a tier RT should be a no go, so I'd just opt for the most raster performance available.

If you don't need the newer features the 7600 provides, the 6750XT is a more substantial card. (Uses much more power (~170W 7600 vs ~280W 6750XT), is about 15% faster)

The 6750XT does not pull that much wattage. It is more in line with about 220-240 in range.

6700 spikes to 330 W compared to around 200 W for a 3060. I doubt the 6750 is more efficient.

Finally I bought a rx6600 xt to save money. I think to upgrade my mouse (I have a cheap one) or upgrade the case (Asus Ap201).

Thanks.
All the best.

Good choice. A recommendation: balance your expectations to graphics settings in the newest games if needed.
Your card can reliably run 60+ FPS at 1080p at very high settings in many heavy titles even without resorting to FSR, but it ain't bulletproof.

EDIT: The following graph comes from the review of a 6600XT here at TPU. It uses a highly tuned Ryzen 7 5800X rig, but you can have a notion of where your card should perform with maximum eye-candy (sans raytracing):

The 6600 XT's a solid entry level card, enjoy man.

Silencio · Apr 30, 2024

It is true that Ryzen needs better RAM speeds? Because I have my memories running at 2666mhz.

Another question, the case Corsair 480t Airflow is good? I search in the net and not find anything relevant about this case, is old or new? Is a good idea to upgrade my ap201?

I mean, for a vanilla 1600 that's a good MCLK. Might be the bar for a 2600. I'm on a 3600 and have mine pinned at 4GHz with 3200MT dimms at 3600MT.
This is fine.

Not have 3.5 drive bays, so I forget this case because I use 2 HDD. The 280x looks good.

Edit: Well, I will be open another topic because this is solved.
Thanks to all.
All the best.

Yes it does. It's pretty far out of the perf/watt sweet spot

MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio Review

MSI's Radeon RX 6750 XT runs whisper-quiet thanks to a well-tuned profile that maximizes the efficiency of the triple-fan, triple-slot thermal solution. Performance is also good, making this an excellent choice for all gamers using the 1440p resolution.

ASUS Radeon RX 6750 XT STRIX OC Review

The ASUS Radeon RX 6750 XT STRIX OC is an improved version of the RX 6700 XT that comes with faster memory and higher overall clock speeds. ASUS has engineered a powerful thermal solution that achieves fantastic temperatures and includes the idle-fan-stop capability.

Guzzles a lot more power than the 6700XT, for not much more performance

I guess I have the As Rock version I do not have the equipment to monitor Power spikes but the 6750XT is connected to a 450W PSU and a 5900X. I have never seen a shutdown.

I'm very happy with the new card, thank you guys. All the best.
