>tfw i bought an rx 6600 in 2023

I bought a B580 couple of months ago, dont worry about it retardbro

it's a fine budget card. keep using it.

Buy 9700 or wait?

>tfw I bought the best budget gpu in 2023 when it was still available at a great price
??? what's the point of this post?

>>105722738 (OP)
i bought a 1050 ti in 2023 and i regret nothing

The only reason you fucked Ionia because your CPU only supports PCIe 3.0 and your GPU requires 8 lanes of PCIe 4.0 for max performance. So you have strangled performance since you can only run PCIe 3.0 in 8 lanes instead of the full 16 lanes. You are getting RX570 tier perfomance.
A real Zen 3 CPU like a 5600X or better will fix this

chatgpt tells me the performance loss is not that great

>x8

i bought one in 2025 because i am so poor (not poor enough to skip on buying 2TB NVME for the same price though)

0 performance loss when vram isn't fully utilized
he fucked up because of the 16 mb cache, 5500 is worse than a 3600.

>>105725415
are you the same >>105725167 retard?
there's pretty much no performance loss from x8 even on 3.0 unless you are running way out of vram, which is unlikely to happen on such a card
you might be confused with the x4 on the 6500 xt, x8 is perfectly fine
even on vram constrained scenarios it's rarely going to nuke 50% of your performance
yu have no idea what you are talking about

>6% performance loss on a 16 game average
>on an rx 7600 which is 30% faster than a 6600 and so way more likely to face this bottleneck
rx 570 performance, sure.
