AMD's RX 6650 XT graphics card has dropped to $229.99 at Newegg

A good option for 1080p gaming if you don’t fancy Intel’s A750.

The RX 6650 XT has emerged as one of the best value graphics cards for 1080p gaming, and today you can pick one up for a new low price. Newegg has discounted the AsRock Challenger D model to just $229.99 when you use the codeVGAEXCAA735at the checkout, knocking $20 off the usual price.

Therefore, the 6650 XT makes a ton of sense if you prefer to play a mixture of old and new games, and don’t much care for the expensive graphical niceties of ray tracing - although I should point out that the 6650 XTisray-tracing-capable, it’s just less good for its price than Intel or Nvidia alternatives. AMD’s FSR 2 upscaler has also improved in terms of adoption over the past year or two, making it easier to recommend Team Red’s hardware even for newer titles.

I think that just about says it all in terms of need-to-knows, so I’ll just refer you toour RX 6600 reviewfor more information on expected performance - expect the 6650 XT to be around three to seven percent faster in most games at 1080p - better but not game-changingly so, good for around a few frames per second in most games!
