I mainly game on the PS5, but I was recently gifted a used gaming PC that was equipped with an old GeForce 1050. I wanted to check out Gamepass on PC to play some Xbox exclusives I missed, but I didn't have a great experience on newer titles. Since my PC is a secondary gaming platform, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. With the recent price drops on AMD GPUs, I thought this was a good time to upgrade. The XFX RX6650 was quite an upgrade! It increased my 3dMark score by over 3x. I'm able to play games I want like Hi-Fi Rush at 144 fps and Gears 5 at 80+ fps at 1440p resolution. Looks and plays great. I feel like I have a real gaming PC for the first time in 20+ years, lol. This particular card is great looking. Nice and understated without any obnoxious design or logos. Fits in great with my all black, non RBG case. I wish the bracket was black as well instead of silver, but it's fine. It stays cool in my case too (Corsair 400d), it only its 75 degrees under full load. The install was painless, Windows 11 picked it right up no problem. I have it connected to a 27" 1440p and 23" 1080p monitor on my desk, and I also hooked up my 65" HiSense TV for when I want to game on the couch. Overall, this is probably the best budget card you can by these days. Highly recommended!

This gpu is a perfect budget card. This is my first pc I’ve built, and everything has run smoothly so far. I play overwatch and it runs 1080p med/high settings at a steady 300 fps. I’m gonna try vr on it and see how that goes but I’ve heard good things about vr on it. I’ve had a little trouble with the drivers sometimes but next update and it’s fixed. Awesome value for the price

Best value graphics card for 2023

I love this card. It plays all my games great in 1080p and 1440p resolution. The graphics are gorgeous and everything runs smoothly.
I have it paired with an AMD Ryzen 5800x and 32 GB of memory in a new build using an Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS motherboard.
Graphics cards are still somewhat expensive compared to the past and I used to be able to upgrade at a $150 price point. Right now, this is probably one of the best values out there.
I love that it is also very power efficient. I prefer a graphics card that doesn't use up a lot of power at the wall socket.
As an aside, I did initially have a lot of trouble with driver time-outs and games crashing. I did a lot of investigation (and cursing because I thought it was the new graphics card fault), and eventually discovered it was the memory!
Even though the original memory passed MemTest86 and I never had any problems running non-game applications. The memory was the last thing that I suspected.
But after playing around with different bios settings and replacing my power supply, I figured I would have nothing to lose by swapping out the memory.
I replaced the memory with another pair and now everything is rock solid.

I recently upgraded from an older Radeon RX590 graphics card. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do like to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Forza Horizon 5. Forza worked fine on my RX590, but Flight Simulator tended to be a bit choppy. I also do some video editing using Magix Vegas Pro 21, which can use the video card to accelerate video rendering.
I was not looking to spend $500+ for a video card, so I was happy to find this one for a reasonable price.
With my new RX6650XT, Forza is still about the same, but Flight Simulator is noticeably much improved. The new card made a big difference for Flight Simulator. Video editing in Vegas hasn't changed much, but it does seem a bit faster. Overall, I happy with this video card.

I top around 90-140 FPS in most of my games, with ray tracing either at low settings, or turned off. I don’t think anyone cares about ray tracing enough so I’d definitely recommend this card. Better than the 6600xt, and it’s not even that much more. Definitely a win in my book.

I am very happy with this purchase, I picked this card up while it was on sale for a budget gaming pc build for my son and the performance excedded my expectations. I built him a dual monitor 1080 setup and paired this card with a ryzen 5500 and 16gb of ram and we are able to hit 180fps on warzone consistently on high settings and fidelity/cas on. Fornite had slightly less fps but was very smooth . Overall my son and I are happy with this card and I would recomend for a 1080 build and expect to get a smooth gaming experience.

I love this graphics card, 8G of ram is enough to be honest. I can play games almost all of my games on high settings 60+ fps but I chose to use custom settings ( just my preference ). If youre looking to get this card… just spend your money already I love it! And I dont regret buying it. Big improvement over the GTX 1650 I have. You can also undervolt it to make it run cooler at the same performance which is amazing & saves power. You can also record from the Adrenaline app.

Was initially disappointed, but then I installed some new software for my msi motherboard w/ bios update. After that was absolutely blown away by the performance. I am gaming on an Acer ED270U 1440P 170hz Monitor, and the cpu is a Amd Ryzen 5600x. I wasn't expecting the performance to be great. But every game i have tested is getting close to or above 100+ fps on 1440p maxed out settings on new AAA titles. Absolutely ecstatic with my purchase of the XFX RX 6650XT!

Best Buy was kind enough to price match against Amazon and I got this card for $230! My son is seeing games run at 1440p at over 80fps and sometimes even hitting 100! I was definitely Dad of the Year when I surprised him with all the components to finally build his own pc!

A fantastic mid-range card for a great price. With GPU prices back through the roof I continue to consider the 6650XT an amazing option for budget building. I used it when building my wife's PC and she's been playing all the games she enjoys (Minecraft, Stardew, and Doom Eternal) in 1440 with no issues.

It was better and faster than I expected Compared to the competition I made a good choice. I can run any triple-a games on it. A lot of people say that retracing on AMD is not that good. I bet the different it is excellent.

Sweet Spot Graphics Card

Advertised as a 1080p card, but it will still hold up playing at 1440p with most high settings if you're ok with sub 60 fps. Certainly one of the cards that hits the value sweet spot especially being a last generation card. If you think you may not be happy with a X500 AMD or XX50 Nvidia card, I think you will be very happy with this card.

I know that coil whine is a possibility for any graphics card, and mine unfortunately has it. I don't know if this is a common issue for this graphics card or not, maybe I was just unlucky. I bought it during a sale, so at least I didn't pay full price. For what it can do, it was a good deal.
