Still rocking my 1070 Ti, but would this be a good upgrade?

I got this card for $210 the last go around. I like it. The fan curve is kind of loud and aggressive when you first get it but you can easily change it to be quieter.

It should improve framerates about 30-40% in 1080p/1440, assuming your CPU is not the bottleneck.

I bought this card for $259 back in February. Agree with another poster to change the fan curve and disable zero RPM.

My only complaint with this card is that i get AMD driver timeout errors frequently when powering on my PC or waking up from sleep. Not sure if this is the card or the drivers. I've done two complete wipes of the drivers and it still happens. Based on various searches, I'm leaning towards the card.

40-50% faster. Jump to a 6700XT/6750XT for another 25%+ boost with 12GB VRAM. I find Techspot or Hardware Unboxed to be more accurate.

Is the 6650 XT one of those that gets crippled in PCIe 3, because it only has 8X PCIe 4 lanes instead of 16? Am I supposed to get at least a RX 6700 or greater if I still rock a PCIe 3 board?

Ty OP. I just purchased this on Newegg. I canceled the other Amazon deal for this for the same price because they had shipping estimates to Mid-August. Will be a pretty good upgrade from my RTX 2060 which will go in my other computer (still a damn good card).

For those in a similar sitch, here's the comparisons:

Only 6500xt and below gets crippled if using in pcie3 slot.

Don't the 6650XT and below have 8 or 4 lanes? Thought you needed 16
