New AMD build, should I keep the RX 6600 XT?

[L.o.D.]

So my new build consists of the 7800X3D, 32GBs of RAM and will be on Win11 Home. Should I keep the card or look at replacing it down the road? I currently play warzone with that card at 3840x2160 and have no issues on my current I7 7700K build.

It is really up to you.. are you happy with its performance?

Like I said, I haven't had any issues with gaming like you see people complain about in the warzone forums. I also don't use steam for warzone.
I just don't want any bottlenecks with the new build.

I'm using a 6700 XT and it handles everything I've done brilliantly.

Quite a bit better than any Nvidia ♥♥♥♥♥ I've ever used. Never going back, for sure.

You will always have one.

What matters is are you satisfied with the performance you are getting. It sounds like you already are.

Upgrade something when you want more performance in that area. The platform upgrade will better set you up for if/when you want to upgrade the graphics card later.

Don't think of terms of bottlenecks, you can always upgrade the GPU later and by then the now most expensive will have dropped further in price.

The question is whether the performance you're getting with the new build + existing GPU is satisfactory to play your games. There will always be a better piece of tech so don't worry about it.

If it does then just upgrade your GPU later, for example when you make the move to 4K gaming.

There also is not much of a tradition bottleneck if the CPU is very strong and the GPU is weak. All that will do is limit cranking up certain graphics settings due to GPU limitations. With a strong GPU and weak CPU, the GPU performance gets held back by the weak CPU. Two totally different scenarios.

Having a strong CPU is a huge plus. As well as having fast drives and high amount of RAM.

Can always upgrade the GPU later on.

Keep the card until you think you need another one. The same money now should get you something better down the road so you're doing yourself a favor by waiting.

I am gaming at a 4k res now, but on a 65inch UHD tv that is only 60hz.

i would go for maybe AMD 7800 xt, if you want to. the resolution you use requires a gfx board like this...in my opinion.

Sit at least 14 feet away from the screen for best view and no eye strain.

I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment, so I sit 8 feet away from the tv.
