That was insanely expensive for a 6 GB card. You would have been better off with a 7600 or 6600 XT. I would have also said 4060, but if it's double the price in your country, then it's obviously a no-go. I hope you'll be happy with it, though.
I looked into GPUs since the beginning of the year, I considered the differences between all 40 series in price and performance.
For example, in the left note, the 4060 Ti is having ~15% performance increase and ~40% price increase compared to a 4060.
I used Passmark GPU scores and prices în lei from a major retailer. For $ divide by 4,5.
Even after realising it may not run Farming Simulator 25 at full details - I have a limited game preference, I still bought it, I do not play games with lots weapons and races.
My all-time driving favourite is NFS Porsche 2000,
I currently play Pure Farming 2018 and it feels great, I cannot stand the ground dynamics of Farming Simulator, I saw desirable ground dynamics first in Agricultural Simulator: Historical Farming from 2013, but is so unstable that is barely playable.
I saw in a YT channel about budget builds a driving game called Beam.NG, according to its Steam page it stands out and I look forward to it.
From secondary school I longed for a dedicated GPU, I remember looking in a local shop catalog, saw a 9600 GT …
Now, 17 years later, after having a decent ( compared to past ones ) job I got my first GPU.

In general, the AMD ones, well North-west Repair has poked quite a sizeable number of them and he is not happy about the hotspot and die delta … however he appreciated the Sapphire the most.
Well the Sapphire AIB RX 6600 was exactly the same price, then …
Went on TweakTown, saw the GPU-Z screenshot, and the 23°C delta between GPU temp and hotspot … and thought no.
The RX 7600 starts from about $345,35 for the Gigabyte model, there are cheaper options, like from $306,11 but the payment options differ since I am not willing to pay in full at once.
The RX 6600 XT though… except for an open box deal at $355,02, the new ones start at $583,99.
The specs are very strange for the 3050 6g: the wiki page says between 4802 and 6774 GFLOPS, here on TPU it says only 6774 GFLOPS, and with GPGPU benchmark in AIDA64 I got 8771 GFLOPS.
I also tested the compute performance with mfakto ( mersenne.ca/mfaktc.php ) and it is closest to the Radeon Instinct MI50, the R9 295X2 and the 8GB 3050 - the other one, gpuowl, use FP64, this one uses FP32.
I chose to maintain a monthly rate of below $25 to prevent being caught by surprise by changing income (+/-20% from one month to another, and I manage other expenses, like dental appointments, I got a quote on January of about $4300 and I spread it over more than a year ).
