MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC

Pros: This card is just as fast as a 3070 for less money. Yeah it's not as good in RTX, but what games have RTX? None of the ones I play do. AMD cards also run significantly better with older/slower CPUs. An midrange nvidia GPU like a 3060 will bottleneck an older CPU like a 2700X by around 20%. A card like this will not because there's less driver overhead.

Yeah nvidia has some cooler tech, but many games don't support it, or people hardly ever use it. Like Nvidia has a better encoder, but I bet most gamers don't even know what that means. Nvidia also has G-sync which is better than the AMD alternative, but nobody has G-sync monitors because they're way more expensive.

In real-life gameplay this card beats all my friend's 3060s by 20-40% in DX12 games like Ready or Not. It's about on par with my friends 2070 Super, paired with the same 3600X CPU I have.

Cons: This specific model GPU has a fragile fan shroud that shattered off in shipping.

Newegg processed my RMA and got me a replacement card in about 5 days with no big hassle, so I'm not taking any eggs. Otherwise this card blew about my expectations.

Overall Review: Aggregate bench-marking sites are legitimately bias against AMD. These AMD cards are just better than NVidia for a practical budget gamer. If you're looking to spend as much money as possible, NVidia is probably better, but for any sort of budget gaming AMD is back on the map.

3070 performance for the price of a super cheap 3060.

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is a great card for casual 1440p gaming. It ran most games over 60fps at 1440p high or ultra. In all specifications, this card is advertised to have a TDP of 250w. But in reality, this seems to be power limited to 210w. From what I found after scanning through various forums for weeks, this is a common trend for the Mech series of cards. You can of course undervolt a bit and make it run at a bit higher clock, but in most loads it runs at a maximum of around 2400mhz which 250mhz lower than the advertised clock speed. Reducing 2 stars for this, given the name of the card also contains the word "OC" but there is no way to OC this card with the hard power limit.
