PC upgrade : RTX 3060 + Ryzen 5600x or New gen ?

My current config is:
Ryzen 2600
16GB DDR4
B450 A-PRO

I need to upgrade me PC for running these Text 2 Image, GPT-J text generation things (AI)

But the problem is,

If I buy Ryzen 7600x, then I need DDR5 RAM, new mother board
7600x = 23k
DDR5 16GB = 8k
Mobo - 17k (can't find anything below ??!!)
rtx3060 - 30k
So total cost is 23k + 8K + 17K + 30k ( rtx 3060) = 78000

But for 5600x, it's just 17k + 30k = 47000, since my mobo supports 5600 on AM4

Now the confusion is, does spending extra 40 % yields more than 40 % of performance ?


2)also please suggest laptop with 3060 12gb with good thermal performance and battery

What is your usage?

For gaming, 3060 is a stupid choice, get RX 6700XT or 3060Ti for 35k.

No, R5 7600X is not 40% better than R5 5600X for gaming or productivity. For 6700XT level GPU, IMO R5 5600 will suffice. IMO you will see 10-15% jump going from your AM4 mobo + R5 5600 to new R5 7600 based rig on gaming because of faster RAM & PCIe 3.0 on your mobo for GPU but not a good financial value.

No laptop with 3060 12GB exists, because 3060 is 6GB for laptops. Naming is confusing but post RTX 20xx series, the GPU dies for laptops & desktops are entirely different, forget the lower power targets.

@omega44-xt Thanks.

I need only Nvidia since Stabe Diffusion have full support for nvidia gpus only and need high vram. only 3060 have 12gb in mid range segment(why not 3060ti???)

And in the barchart you shared, difference between 5600 and 7600 in higher ??

Nvidia didnt plant to release 12GB card earlier but they had after 6600XT performance. 3060ti was released earlier than AMD cards that is why it has normal 8GB VRAM. Similar story for RTX3080.
He only posted gaming performance comparison of Ryzen x600 to give you basic idea. it is better to research the performance for your specific use case. Please update here as well whatever hardware you decide to go with so that members here also can understand about the reason for the choices you made for your use case.

Get 3060 12GB, was like 25k on FK last week. Else pay up 30k or whatever it is going for.

3060Ti was launched earlier & Nvidia thought AMD might not compete well enough so decided to not increase VRAM vs RTX 20xx series.

In chart, look at RX 6650XT bars as other two are far superior GPUs.
