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: - Easy to install and the setup docs were pretty self explanatory - definitely not reaching high watts demand while gaming. - fast shipping. - price
Cons: - None so far
Overall Review: It's been 3 days since i installed the card. Everything went well with install but could not remove the old Nvidia video and audio drivers, even in safe mode. installed afterburner and adrenaline and the navi is pretty simple but not as nice as Nvidia. I did not get the performance increase i expected going from the GTX 1650 Super that i expected on the few games i played. Will update

Pros: -Can play most games on at least one setting
Cons: -Frame rate is not what I hoped for in recent graphically intensive AAA titles. I had to lower Control to Low settings and AC Odyssey to medium settings just get a consistent frame rate without a choppy appearance. -LOUD - The graphics card's fans can get up to 55 decibels at full load, which is very annoying. I had to move my PC tower outside my room.
Overall Review: I would not recommend this graphics card to anyone. I would say get something with 12GB VRAM and/or quieter fans instead.
