ASUS ROG Strix AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card (AMD RDNA 2, PCIe 4.0, 8GB GDDR6, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, Axial-tech Fan Design, Super Alloy Power II, GPU Tweak II)

Pros: 3 DPs hooked up to three 165 hertz monitors. i went it to changed the settings, and it already was at 165 hertz.

Apparently packaging!!

Cons: i have to crank some games down to 144 hertz because it is just too crazy on 3 screens!! Oh bummer lol.

I came out to meet Gary, the UPS driver. He comes from the back, clips the corner with his shoulder, and BAM, on the deck, BAM to the step, BAM to the ground! I FREAKED OUT on him. he was all casual like, oh i can come back and pick it up or you can file a claim. I'm like GARE, i have been waiting over a year for cards to come down, i did endless research, and i finally decide on one and its like dropped at the end. Now if i didn't work for a cross dock facility and watch loaders toss stuff, or know from just watching customs going thru boxes, or postal video of under cover vids i would have refused it. It was rocked though! AND I MEAN ROCKED!! I haven't had a problem yet, and hope not to.

Overall Review: I replaced my Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X OC 3 gig with this. I had that forever, and it still cranks! But i got MORE than my money from it, and wanted to upgrade. i added a screen shot of streaming, playing a game that skips on my MSI 570 8 gig. seriously! JOKE!, AC Odyssey and all setting on ultra and its nice. It was $389 after the instant, a no brainers. I could have picked up a 12 gig Nvidia or a cheaper MSI (no more) but the 12's had one or LUCKY 2 DP, and the cheap MSI cannot handle most games. This card cranking out 77 frames (random shot) on ULTRA with ACO tells me it will play EVERY GAME EVER MADE AND EVEN the ones you get for free when you buy a GPU. IMO anyway.

Over 25 years of building, repairing, upgrading, networking, and hosting and designing sites, take my word for it, unless you are doing something crazy you do not need 12 gigs, and you do NOT want 4 gigs today for gaming! If you have the means this is choice, but you cant go wrong with the 6600 if it is %40 or more cheaper or you do not want 3 DP.

i have 3 viotek 24 inch monitors and eyefinity is awesome!

Pros: Card works well for 1440p (mostly dirt rally) and install / drivers work well.

Cons: ASUS rebate seems to mostly be a scam. After months of waiting for them to hear get back my $180 rebate they finally claimed too much time elapsed (even though they have had it in their system and my letter with the UPC from the box for months). Just assume all rebates from ASUS are not valid.

Overall Review: Card is nice and reasonably fast. ASUS rebate is a scam so I overpaid by over $150.
