Hey folks! I’m from Argentina and I’m in the process of building a new PC. I’m stuck on which GPU to pick between the RTX 3050 with 6GB and the RX 6600 with 8GB. I’ve got a Ryzen 7 5700 processor as well, but I’m also unsure if that’s the best choice. Any advice on which GPU would be better for performance? It would help if you could explain why you think one option is the better choice!

I’d definitely recommend the RX 6600. It tends to give you more frames on average, plus having that extra 2GB of VRAM is a bonus.
I was in your shoes deciding between these GPUs as well. I went for the RX 6600 because of its value. My advice? Check out some game benchmarks to see how they perform in the titles you enjoy! But honestly with your strong processor, maybe consider saving up for something like the RX 7600 for even better performance. Just keep an eye on prices in Argentina!
That’s a solid point! I’ll definitely look into that. Thanks a lot for your help!
If they’re priced similarly, the RX 6600 is a no-brainer. It’s about 50% faster on average and the extra VRAM does help. Regarding your Ryzen 7 5700, I wouldn’t really recommend it. It’s not as powerful in games compared to the 5600 or 5600X, which might even be cheaper. Those are better options in my opinion.
Thanks for the insight! I’m now considering going with the R5 5600XT since it’s the same price as the 5600X along with the RX 6600.
Thanks, I think I’ll lean towards the RX 6600 since it’s around the same price as the 3050.
