Pros: -Good value for mid-performance range -Solid build (metal backplate, triple fan, beefy cooler) -Great performance on 1080p, will hold up at 1440p -Just a bit of RGB
Cons: -Fans can get loud when cranked up. -Software defaults to "Zero RPM" passive cooling -Still relatively expensive for what amounts to a binned, OC'd 3660.
Overall Review: I wanted a card to upgrade a 1650 Super that was capable of running 1080p at extreme settings. This one works great. If you're on a tight budget I might suggest looking into a 6600 and overclocking it, you will get similar results for about $100 less. I spent the extra for a known name brand, better build materials (metal back plate, larger cooler). I get over 80-100fps on many of my games at highest settings. I was originally shopping for a 6600xt, but the prices for this newer model were actually lower than the older card and the newer card had better features (cooler, rgb, metal backplate). I have no complaints really about the card. Looks great, is quiet until put under heavy load and is not noisy until fans are over 50% speed. I don't think AMD's "Zero RPM" feature is beneficial. It shuts off the GPU fans until the temp hits 55c, then it will ramp them up. They say it's to help noise and reduce power consumption which may be scientifically true, but real-world I don't think it makes a real difference other than heating up your GPU faster. I suppose if you want to extend the longevity of your fans and don't game that often it might be useful. I tested just on and off with 1080p full screen YouTube - Fans off: Power Consumption 20W; Temp was 44C. Fans on minimum 1300rpm; Power Consumption 20W, Temp was 43C. No measurable power saving and was slightly cooler with fans on.
Pros: Im glad that I got this one over the Eagle, this one has better cooling (based on personal research) and I wouldnt want my gpu to get hotter tbh. This has been a great experience, it came 2 days earlier from when it was supposed to, the card is great and Im absolutely in love with AMD software. Its a big fat upgrade from gt 730.
Cons: The shroud is a little too plasticky for my liking. Gigabyte aorus software is kind of unnecessary if youre using AMD Adrenalin, yet I dont think theres a way to control rgb without gigabyte software, which sucks.
Overall Review: I ran borderlands 3 at max settings, for 5 hours temps stayed around 55-65 yet it was super quiet. Im very satisfied with this purchase. Cant really ask for more. 5eggs
Pros: Beauty. Get this over the Eagle version for better OC and RGB.
Overall Review: 2x the performance of my GTX 1070. Thank you, AMD, for selling at MSRP and finally putting an end to the insane gpu pricing craze. This card is almost on par with an RTX 3070 for 400+ dollars less.
Pros: -much needed upgrade from Rx 580
Overall Review: Rx 6650 XT is a great option for those who have been holding out. Highly recommended for the price
Pros: Better than the onboard GPU the came on the Ryzen 7 5700g. Better pricing than other RX 6650 XT and the RTX 3060.
Cons: PCIE 4.0 is x8 not x16
Overall Review: I think I got a deal at the price I paid. It's not the latest and greatest but at less then $300 I'm not complaining. Better Graphics than what I was using from the Ryzen 7 5700g
Pros: Worked great out of the box. The backplate gives a really clean look to my all black build.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Overall, this is a great card at a great price. It looks amazing and is a huge performance boost. I highly recommend.
Overall Review: This completes my build. And it's perfect. I have no issues at all. Very strong performance. A bit overkill to what I need. But more is great right? Delivery service is great too. No delays.
Pros: -Same price as 6600 XT and less than 6700 XT -Similar performance to 6700 XT for much cheaper -Great cooling -Great temps
Cons: -None so far -AMD drivers for the 6650 XT can be a hassle since it's a newer card, I've had no problems so far
Overall Review: -Would recommend to those on a budget
Overall Review: really good to destroy games at 1080 pixels, no problem with it; however, the cooling is a bit of a problem as it reaches 80 celsius even though I got an amazing air flow, and it doesn't do well at 2k gaming.
Pros: Good enough performance at 1440p if you're willing to trim some settings down or use fsr, runs quietly and doesn't have bad temps in an NZXT H510
Cons: A little bit of coil whine
Overall Review: Under $300, this was a pretty good deal after wsiting through bad prices for so long.
