Our Verdict: At 1440p, RX 5500 XT 8GB can hit 50-60 frames per second on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Whereas RX 6650 XT can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. With some tuning, the RX 6650 XT makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RX 5500 XT 8GB by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. The RX 6650 XT is faster by 106% for 1440p gaming. For 1080p games, upgrading from RX 5500 XT 8GB to RX 6650 XT is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT

AMD ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the RDNA 2.0 graphics card inside the RX 6650 XT, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RX 6650 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5600 XT as it costs a whopping $ 399. Compare this to the RX 5600 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 279. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3060 which costs $ 329.

Spec for spec, this RX 6650 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5600 XT, by boasting 36.8 % more fps. The RX 6650 XT has 8 GB RAM compared to the RX 5600 XT 's 6 GB video memory.

AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB

The RX 5700 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest RDNA 1.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers.

AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT / Ryzen 9 5950X

The RX 6650 XT 's power requirements are reasonable and it is very efficient compared to the competition. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 6650 XT , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.

AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB / i7-8700K

At 1440p, RX 5500 XT 8GB can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. It is clear that the RX 5500 XT 8GB is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for RX 5500 XT 8GB against the competition in budget mid-range cards. In terms of memory, the RX 5500 XT 8GB 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.
