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):

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



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.

6750XT or 7600?
Of the three - 6750XT, 7600 or 3060 I would suggest the 6750XT if you are playing Baldurs Gate. The 3060 is better for Ray Tracing but at that budget Ray Tracing capability is fairly pointless. 7600 is ok but the 6750XT is a more powerful card in my opinion.

*edit* sorry I was late to the party! the 6600XT is a decent card at its budget, good purchase.

Hi all, I have a gt710 actually and I want to upgrade to play AAA games like Baldurs Gate 3 and others exigent games. My budget is 250,000 Argentine pesos.
The store where to found second hand GPUs is: https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/

I have a R5 1600 AF
750w PSU

Thanks in advance.
All the best.

I bought the RX 7600 myself because I use a 550W PSU, and I was afraid that this power supply would be inadequate for the RX 6700 XT.

I think the RX 7600 is more powerful than what most gamers need. It has similar theoretical performance as the GTX 1080 Ti but it is much faster than the GTX 1080 Ti in new games because Pascal drivers are slowed down by Nvidia.

Although the card is the last generation from AMD, it has been working perfectly under Linux for several months.

I have not experienced any stability problems while gaming in Linux and for the games I have played the card was overpowered.

I think that with the RX 7600 you can already have a CPU bottleneck in many games with the R5 1600.

If you plan to continue using the R5 1600 for two years or more, then a more powerful GPU than the RX 7600 may not be a smart move.

So I downloaded this pdf "Memory Support List For AMD Summit Ridge CPU" from your MB's support page and it says that 3200 is as high as you can go if your CPU is capable.

It is the maximum officially supported, you can go higher if your RAM/IMC can handle it, I have ran 3600 on a 1600af, they don't take overclocking into consideration, standard for all motherboards
