AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT

The PowerColor RX 6650 XT Hellhound Spectral White offers a minor upgrade over the existing RX 6600 XT, at a slightly higher price. The bump in memory speed from 16Gbps to 18Gbps helps a bit, but this feels more like AMD building more of a separation between the RX 6600 and the next step up rather than a card that was really necessary.

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is a perfectly respectable refresh of the RX 6600 XT with some faster clocks which gives a modest improvement in performance, but someone priced this card way wrong, making it only worth buying if can't get an RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3060.
