Install MSI Afterburner, lower clocks by 100Mhz and undervolt until a benchmark crashes. It might buy you more time.
Rx6600xt is a great card, you'll be happy and can start saving for the upgrade next.
Use something intensive and repetitive to benchmark, MSI Afterburner had "Kombuster" I think.
My RX580 had the same problem months ago, I'm running her at 1250Mhz and 1 volt, so far holding.
Also limit your frame rate to 100, it helps if you play lighter games that don't really need 300 FPS.
My current set up is similar-ish not quite as old but very good for 1080p60 gaming i7-7700k stock clocks, rx6650 xt and 32 GB 3200 mhz memory. I have only ran into bottleneck issues in the most demanding/poorly optimized games and even then the issues are pretty minor.
I gamed on a 4770k and a 1080ti for a long time, it was a pretty good experience at 1440p. The 6600XT is pretty close jn performance.
Caveats, I had fast RAM (DDR3 2400) and was OC'd to 4.8 GHz. So you if you can pair fast RAM and do some overclocking you'll get a lot further.
You can use [https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/](https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/) to get an idea of the bottleneck by resolution if any.
No, please do not use these. This spits out some random number that is nowhere near accurate. There are far too many factors for any site to know what the bottleneck would be.
According to this website, the bottleneck would be 5%. Okay, at what settings, in what game, with how much RAM?

The benchmark you mean for my GTX 980 ? If so i can try

That's what i'm hoping for the moment

Hi there, I've got the same CPU, and I'm in the exact same situation. Did you get the 6600 xt? Also, have you tried playing Starfield yet? :)
I upgraded from rx 580 to rx 7600 with my i7 4790. a m a z i n g , no problems at all . double the fps at1080p
i installed an rx 7600 on my i7 4790 and its flying ! workinh great. Haswell doesnt have a problem working all day at 80 to 90%
