CPU/GPU Pairing

I have a Ryzen 5 7600 (Non X) currently paired with a Zotac RTX 4060 Nividia card. I am looking to exchange for a Radeon card. What would you all recommend?

I would recommend you tell us your budget.  If you can spend around $500 USD, then I would look for an RX 7800XT video card.  If you can go a bit higher, then the RX 7900 GRE video card.

Also, what resolution and fps are you looking to get? My other PC has a 7900XT and it's quite a capable card and have had zero issues with it. Little on the pricey side though.

I am not a gamer per say. I just prefer AMD over Nvidia. I was looking at the rx 7600 or the rx7600xt and the 7700.

My motherboard is Gigabyte Ultra Durable B650M C V2 Y1

If you are not a gamer looking for higher frame rates, you could even go with the integrated graphics from your Ryzen 5 7600.  But if occasional gaming is in the cards, I would consider spending around $500 USD for perhaps an RX 7800 XT level card, like I said earlier.  Once you install that, you should disable the internal graphics from your CPU using the BIOS settings.  A decent 1440p wide screen monitor with 160 Hz refresh rate will have you wanting to play a few games.

 

Yes, it's the right choice.Yes, it's the right choice.

Trends will vary according to best value and market fluctuations. Make sure to pick something which is being sold close or below the MSRP. You can compare CPUs on this site and even input the prices so you can get an updated.

Pick the resolution you wanna have, as well as the platform befitting your budget. Personally i would recommend AM4 for first builders. You can check relative performance for the RTX 4060. We're not sure about the design you have for this AMD card or why you're looking to exchange it.

Make sure there are no bottlenecks if going for a high powered GPU. Resolution will also help determine this. Personally i would recommend these pairings:

1080p

Be it AM4, AM5, RDNA 2 or 3. 600 or 700 series CPU with 600 or 700 series GPU.

1440p


Ditto. 700 or 800 series CPU with 700 or 800 series GPU.


2160p


Ditto. 700, 800 or 900 series CPU with 800 or 900 series GPU.

I would only recommend 3XD processors with 1080p builds. As for Intel and NVIDIA is pretty much the same reasoning. If you got a RTX 4060, then just grab a RX 6700/ 6750 XT for the same price range. Done. You won't regret it ever.
