How much of an upgrade is this from my 1650? Do you think I'd be able to play POE2 without problem ? Thanks

Hi All! I was scoping the other Amazon deal for the Mech variant of this card, however I noticed this version (Gaming model) of the GPU on a deal with RGB on Amazon UK. Thought was worth a post.
Cheap entry point for Starfield Standard edition as well bundled with.

Quite a significant upgrade. For example, here is a comparison with the slower RX 6600, so you could expect a bigger uplift than shown in this video:
220 smackers for 4k tears of the kingdom- prefer breath of the wild myself.... (would recommend dropping to 1440p for a better 60 fps)
Anyone who is waiting for Starfield code from AMD mine just arrived and I am preloading. Check your and rewards account.Shall do, thanks
The rgb is always worth at least 3fps so good deal.
Nice one
Have some heat for the deal and the detail 🔥
Thanks Op
I've always had solid performance and reliability with the Gaming X series. My old RX 580 GX is still going strong (passed on) after all these years of regular use!
Great deal OP!
Just received this in the post. How is the Starfield code delivered, email on the release date? Apols if this is obviousI'm curious about this too but for a different reason.
I'm interested in the GPU but not the game.
If its a code, could I sell it on ebay ? I guess the buyer would already have to have one of the qualifying GPUs.
After an half hour chat, Amazon rep offered me a £32.26 refund, which I refused because it wouldn't cover the cost of the game (£79.99 - try my luck )
Chat ended with a £76.16 refund.
Looking for something to run 3 monitors (mainly for trading), the odd bit of 4K/HD video editing and possibly some MS flight sim for relaxation. Not looking for high resolution gaming. Don’t want to overspend, but like to over-engineer a little as well.
Would this be a good option or can anyone recommend something better around the £300 mark ??
Thanks in advance
AuthorOK 😁, I can certainly try to help! What CPU are you currently running that you would mate a new graphics card with, also what resolution are you're currently running on your monitors, 1080p? or 1440p usually. This card will defo deal with the trading on three monitors, Could be taxing on the 4K/HD video editing but if its not something you do too often I daresay it would be alright. As for the MS flight Sim I found the following link useful and it seems to be OK with this card hovering around 60fps which is what I would want it to be at least able to do. However you may need to adjust some settings as I have heard MS Flight Sim can be a bit of a beast.
If you was to go one up from this, There is some deals for the 6700XT which I daresay should be around the 300 price (maybe a touch over) and there is some deals up on here currently that might suit. (edited)
