Pros: - It beats having no card! - Sad to say but it's cheapest option I could find for an rtx 3060 alternative. - Arrived fast, works well so far.
Cons: - Ray tracing basically unusable - No DLSS - PCIe 8 lanes only
Overall Review: Under normal conditions, I would not buy this card at the $850CAD price point after taxes. Sadly this is the cheapest option for a new card that is at least capable of 2k in certain titles, runs my Apex lovely though at 1080p and that's all I wanted. Hard to review this right now, I just needed a card, cause I had nothing!

Pros: Runs well... when it runs well.
Cons: Created terrible system instability. Sometimes my system boots and I can hardly move the mouse. Sound via HDMI or Displayport is bugged.
Overall Review: I normally wouldn't bother writing a review over a lemon. Lemons happen. But MSI is making me pay for the cost of return shipping, which feels like an extra kick in the teeth. Furthermore, I've already spent many hours of my time troubleshooting this particular problem, and spent money on fixes that didn't work. Overall a terrible experience.

Pros: Equivalent to a 1080 TI or RTX 2070 Gets great FPS in all games at 1080p and 1440p Quieter than my old GTX 970 Smart Access Memory Support. Super Overclockable Good resell value
Cons: Costs a lot over a reference card. No raytracing support
Overall Review: Overall I would highly recommend this card if you want to play games competitively in today's market. This card is a great value. I did watch a lot of reviews that say not to get this card. But I have to say I'm happy with what I got. It gets more than twice the FPS my 970 did and uses half the power while being a smaller form factor. Plus in the future, if I want to upgrade to another card I can just sell this one. Even if it only gets me 250 - 300 dollars at least I got my money's worth in performance.

Pros: Quiet Runs games fine The new update from Radeon unlocked a few features
Cons: Took a few installs of Radeon software to get it right. Sags despite the short card length
Overall Review: I shot myself in the foot for this one, it's not worth anywhere near what I paid. To be fair I was forced to buy when I did because my 650 crashed and burned. I had to install, repair, then clean install the Radeon software to get it to work properly, but I guess that's just how it is these days. I wish card manufacturers would address the sagging, I don't think modern graphics cards are good in towers without a support. The sagging can't be great for the thermal connection between GPU and heat pipes. That's one of the reasons I purchased a two fan card.

Pros: * Quiet, fans don't spin if under high load * Big upgrade grade from gtx 1050 ti * Runs elden ring max settings at 1080p no problem * AMD Adrenalin software is great * Watts per performance is great, pulls 130 watts under load for me with over 250% uplift from gtx 1050 ti with 75 watts * Pure restoration is great for price compared to nividas equivalents price * Doesn't run hot and only got up to 70 degrees at 1080p with ryzen 5 3600
Cons: * Price was kinda high, but better then it has been * Stutters a lot in Fortnite, but I don't know why or if its the GPU or the system * I new it wouldn't be able to use DLSS and up-scaling in that side of the market, but does have alternatives
Overall Review: If I got to choose between rtx 3060 ti vs Rx 6600 xt for the same price, I'd choose NVIDIA. But AMD's equivent was cheaper by a margin amount even to the rtx 3060. This card is great and I'm very happy with it and will be enough at 1080p and maybe 1440p for a long time.

Pros: Its good. mad good. like no cap. Its literally goated.
Cons: I mean ig the price. I needed to save up but other then that. 👌
Overall Review: This gpu is working like a menace I cant lie. 9/10. I play random games like ark, valorant, fallout 4, skyrim, warzone, apex, dont starve. I can confidently say that it runs the games with with 100-300 fps, (depending on game). All this is medium to maximum settings for graphics.

Pros: Runs Sim racing titles well
Cons: Notably loud in an office with hard floors, even in a sound dampened case. Ears are ringing after half an hour of gaming.
Overall Review: Good card. Just like real racing - ear plugs required.

Pros: -graphics are great -works pretty well in PCIE gen 3x4 -nice upgrade to play at 1080p gaming even 1440p is possible
Cons: -might not work for vr unless you use PCIE gen 4x4 -AMD didn't use 16lanes only 8lanes so you will have lower bandwidth
Overall Review: Overall a good product but i probably should've waited for the price to go down

Pros: Fps, performance, low temps
Cons: None I've seen
Overall Review: I bought this card as a cheap upgrade from a 580. I am so impressed with this card and the performance I get. On ultra I average 100 - 200 fps easy at around 58c. Put a good OC and still stable as ever.
