3060ti if you have the money. Is currently retailing at high $9xx.

Consider the 6600xt only if it is within $7xx range. At $8xx is ridiculous.

but between this 2, which one is considered future proof and good for long run gaming?

I wouldnt say either cards are meant to be future proof.

A matter of fact is, either cards are in the entry to entry-mid end categories. They are build for 1080p, if the new games you wanna play becomes demanding, then you will probably have to find a way to lower down the settings to play it or upgrade again to keep up the pace.

But judging from steam most popular gpu is still the GTX1060, many are still playing 1080p gaming or running less demanding settings to play their games. Then it is likely you will probably keep the 6600xt or 3060ti for about 3 generations before they really struggle in future titles.

Both cards are run 1440P gaming. Just need to tune down the settings. If you cannot accept this, then switch to 1080P gaming. Also, these cards are mid range cards. As game get more and more graphic demanding, do not expect the cards to run future games as smooth as you like.

S$700+ budget, get the 6600XT.
Anything above 800 - 1K get the 3060Ti.

I agree. In fact, if the 3060 Ti is obtainable at 900+, I think it is still better value than a RX 6600 XT at 800+. Having said that, it really depends on your budget and what resolution you are gaming on.

ok guys thanks all for the input.. i might be going for 3060ti since Nvidia had DLSS capability which will help even for future games.

You have to bundle it with your entire pc. If you buy standalone there isnt much choices.

There are some shop selling 3060ti from gigabyte at high $9xx

This Graphic thingy is interesting.
When 6600XT launch at 8pm plus ($699 and $739), it took quite a long while (A day of few) before it get fully sold out online perhaps due to its reviews or price to performance ratio.
The next moment I read form HWZ is distro OOS and retailer markup again lol...
