MSI Gaming Radeon RX 6650 XT 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 6650 XT GAMING X 8G

Pros: - Performance is a lot better compared to my old 1060

Cons: - Fans seem loud when under load

Overall Review: Had a 1060 6GB for the past few years and was looking to get a 3060 sometime but saw this on sale so I picked it up. Note that I'm using this in a PCIe Gen 3 slot so performance probably isn't as good as it could be but I don't really want to upgrade my mobo at the moment.

Performance increase was pretty substantial: FPS almost doubled in the UNIGINE Superposition Benchmark (1060 had 28 average fps on 4K optimized while 6650 scored 53) but the fans did get pretty loud.

As for software, AMD Adrenalin looks a lot nicer compared to NVIDIA Experience and seems to share a lot of the same features.

Overall, a pretty decent less expensive alternative to a 3060.

Pros: This being my first computer the graphics are amazing

Cons: It keeps crashing. Something goes off while Im either working or gaming and I loose all visuals to both my monitors and found out that the graphics card crashed on me. Mind you Ive only had this for around 6 months. And when I reboot one of my monitors will decide to work and I have to go and disable then readable my other monitor so it will work. On average it has crashed 2 times every 2 or 3 weeks. I have had no other issue.

Overall Review: Im disappointed and very frustrated
