The title. I've been delaying long enough and I can't really wait anymore. I need a new GPU. I could really use some advice.
Right now I have a GTX 1060 3 GB with a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU and 32 GB RAM. Mostly I use it for gaming in 1080p but it's not impossible I'll eventually increase it (but unlikely).
I'll accept suggestions outside of my options but keep in mind the prices in my country are different. I'm not looking to buy used for various reasons (lack of warranty is one).
My options are:
RTX 3060 12 GB (290 euros)
RTX 4060 8 GB (330 euros)
RX 7600 XT 12 GB (380 euros)
RX 6750 XT 12 GB (400 euros)
RX 6700 XT 12 GB (420 euros)
RTX 4060ti 16 GB (480 euros)
I was really trying to keep it way below 400 euros. The 7600 XT is already a stretch but I could be convinced to raise the budget to the upper 400s for something with really good bang for buck.
I appreciate the help
UPDATE: In the end I decided to go for the RX 6750 XT for 405 euros but, as is my habit, I decided I should sleep on it. And thank god I did. The next day I went online and had already decided to buy it when I saw it was the store's birthday and they were doing some nice discounts and the 6750 was at 360 euros (limited to stock). I immediately bought. What are the odds?! She'll be here in a couple of days.
I think you might have got the 6700 XT and 7600 XT backwards in your post (or their VRAM amounts). The 6700 XT should be 12 GB VRAM, the 7600 XT has 16 GB. Although both should be cheaper than the 6750 XT, but I suppose that will depend on your market.
Anyway, if you're considering up to 480 euros for the 4060 Ti 16GB, check the prices of the RX 6800 (non-XT) or RX 7700 XT. In the US at least, they're usually a bit cheaper than, or about the same price as, the 4060 Ti 16 GB and depending on your sources are usually at least equal in performance. Another thing to keep in mind is that the 4060 Ti 8 GB performs almost exactly the same as the 16 GB version, in gaming at least, and the extra VRAM isn't likely to be all that helpful at 1080p, and at a price closer to the 6800/7700XT.
Of the 3 cards you listed that are 400 euros +/- 20, the 6750 XT is going to be the winner, especially if your post is accurate and it would cost you more money to get the slightly weaker 6700 XT.
If you're really trying to stay way under 400 with the 3060 or 4060, get the 4060. It has enough performance advantage over the 3060 to justify the price difference you've listed. As a bonus, it's extremely power efficient, especially compared to most of the AMD options being discussed here. Something to keep in mind depending on your electricity costs and your current power supply.
