Can you install an RX 6650 XT on a PCIe Gen 3 motherboard? I'm using a Gigabyte B360M DS3 and want to upgrade my GPU. Thanks ahead of time.

Yes, it will function properly. Bandwidth usage may be marginally constrained, but it shouldn't impact performance noticeably.

Watch this video comparing the 6600XT PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 interfaces. Don't rely on the numbers alone—just look at how they stack up against each other to understand the performance gap between them.
