- Stays cool under heavy load
- Great value for the money
- Fits in most PC cases
Cons
- Only 8GB VRAM limits future games
- No ray tracing performance to speak of
- Power draw is higher than some rivals

Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 6650 XT
This is a mid-range RDNA 2 card that runs cool and efficiently, but its 8 GB of memory already feels tight for modern games.
Get it if you want a solid 1080p card that runs cool and quiet for the money, no fuss. Skip it if you need more VRAM for modern games at higher settings or plan to upgrade soon.
Buy it if…
- You want 1080p gaming without breaking the bank.
- You need a solid upgrade from an older midrange card.
- You appreciate great performance per watt in your build.
