Hi so I am working with Unity, and I am noticing that the onboard graphics on my AMD is really slow. Specially when I start to load my build.

So my options are:
AMD RX6600 8Gb version
Intel ARC A750 8Gb version
Nvidia GTX 1650 4 GB version (GDDR5)

yea I cannot afford a 350 it is R2k over budget.

So... what would you go for?
 
RX6600 would be my recommendation I reckon. However, check Carbonite.co.za for good second hand deals.

EDIT: Actually, do some research bru, there's probably a tong of youtube videos covering this sort of thing. RX6600 should be fastest for gaming but I'm not actually sure about performance in Unity and such.

I’d assume being a game engine that gaming performance is a good indicator for which card to get, so I’d get the RX6600.

Either the RX6600 or the GTX 1650. Don't know the Arc. However if you looking for something that supports Ray Tracing you might want to consider an RTX.

But list the rest of the PC spec as well.

IDK they nerfed the 1650GTX so much just wasn't worth it, went with the 1660GTX rather, that extra 2gig video memory helps as well. The other thing worth considering is that AMD lately has been having loads of drivers related issues. Non RTX games the 1660GTX is pretty solid and you can have it on carbonite for 2.5K.Personally I am waiting for at least another 2 gens of RTX before considering an upgrade. GTX 1650/1650 does have the latest DX12 instruction sets. It will be awhile before a new DX instruction set is out. There is only a few games that support the latest DX12 instruction sets and most still have backward compatibility with the older DX12 instructions.

The GTX 1650 personally just isn't good value and the couple 100 more for the 1660 just a better buy. RX6600 would have been my first choice if it wasn't for the driver related and game support issues. A lot of steam complaints relates to the new DX12 instruction sets being used by some games.

None of these cards in this price bracket are really capable of doing ray tracing so I wouldn't even bother making that a consideration.

The RX6600 is the only option I would consider here. It's a lot faster than the 1650. The Intel GPU is too inconsistent currently to consider imo.
 
For Unity I'd make sure I have 16Gb of memory, then anything from about a 1070+ would do.
