I was going to upgrade to a 6500XT to do some 1080 gaming but found out that I was on Gen3. AMD cheaped out and only put 4 lanes on the 6500XT, which meant not enough bandwidth. I don't know how much of an outlier I am, as comparing which board has what generation is not easy.

Yeah that is an annoying thing that manufacturers have done. I bought a Gen 3 motherboard since everyone said that GPUs didn't even utilize Gen 4 yet, but now the exact people that are wanting a budget card and motherboard combo have that incompatibility due to manufacturer cheapness.

That's what kept me from purchasing one for my client. I wonder how much money they saved per unit doing that.
