RX 6600 XT on PCIe 3.0 - Bottlenecks Tested in 20 Game Benchmarks

The RX 6600 XT performance in game benchmarks has faced some challenges but there's also the question of its PCIe interface. You see, it only has 8 physical PCIe Gen4 links that give more than enough bandwidth on new AMD and Intel motherboards but what about older Gen3 boards? It would only have a PCIe x8 link there too with a speed of just 8GB/s. So does that cause a bottleneck? I tested 20 games and 4 professional applications to find out!
