Great video thank you

[@ramair325]

nice video. adding a few more games would be nice. but i feel like for a unboxing one game is ok. i dont really care too much about the synthetic benchmarks altho i do like seeing the results i would maybe not spend as much time on them. Not to say you spent too much time really i think its a nice video all around 8 out of 10 imho.
Would be interesting to see these cards vs the 6700xt! and possibly a 4060 too? Also if your looking for some extra work maybe get into doing some video encoding comparison videos as well. Not many hardware based reviews on encoder / rendering performance that i have seen. if your interested that is :D

Is there any reason you didnt use pcie 4.0? Great video btw.

[@nellysnerdcave]

No reason, just starting out so only have bits and bobs of kit at the moment, but may do a follow up when I get a gen 4 board.

[@notmatt5864]

@@nellysnerdcave I appreciate seeing someone dropping the cards into older boards. Most reviewers will ignore the fact that not everyone is running the latest and greatest.

Srsly 1 game comparison and no 1% Lows??

[@nellysnerdcave]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll bear this in mind for other videos, got a lot to learn here.

you never said what vram the 3060 had... in games vram makes a big difference in frame rates... as the 6650 you got only has a crap weak 8gb.. and you only chose one game...and doom eternal is known to run better on amd gpu's ..so the tests are redundant
