Hey everyone! I'm currently using a 2060 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600, and I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to either an R7 5800X or the R7 5700X3D. I'm leaning towards the 5800X because it's cheaper and performs better in non-gaming tasks.
Now, I'm really torn on which GPU to grab. The RX 6800XT has great raw power, but the RX 9060XT with FSR4 and the 16GB variant seems appealing, too. Meanwhile, the RX 7700XT has 12GB of VRAM and looks like a solid middle ground.
My goal is to build a long-lasting PC that handles both gaming and productivity well. I've found the 6800XT and 7700XT for about 300-350 euros used, and I can get the 9060XT for around 350 euros.
As a side note, I also stumbled upon a 3080 for 300 euros and a 3080 Ti for 350 euros!

I'd rank them like this: 6800XT, then 9060XT, and lastly the 7700XT. The 6800XT has the raw power that will keep your setup viable for longer, even if you occasionally dabble in ray tracing. The 9060XT isn’t too far behind, and its features can make it attractive. The 7700XT is decent too, but the other two have a slight edge.
Doesn’t the FSR4 on the 9060XT make a big difference? Is that worth considering?
