This should be like $300.

AMD while great for the latest AAA titles, the drivers are still worse than nvidia for niche/older/esports stuff.

Great card otherwise.

10GB? That kinda feels like neither here nor there

Could be worse. the 4060 is 8GB. while the 3060 was only spec'd as 12. laugh out loud 4060TI might end up at 10GB based on rumors.

Pretty sure yes but I can't find direct comparison either. Tom's has the 6650XT at 83.4% of the 6700XT at 1080p Ultra across 8 games, and anecdotally the 6700 is around 90% of 6700XT.

Notably the 6650 XT only uses 8 PCIe lanes, so it takes a performance hit on motherboards that only have PCIe version 3.0 with its slower lanes (PCIe 4.0 has double the bandwidth per lane). The 6700 uses 16 lanes so it doesn't take the hit from the slower lanes of PCIe version 3.0.

This looks like the best $355 card at the moment. But I think more price drops are coming soon.

I have a rx 6600. Before that I had a gtx 1060 3gb.

I had no driver issues with team green or team red. No matter what I play.

So of you have been holding out for a card, get what you can afford and what you want, the drivers are pretty much on par except for professional applications, but this aint a quadro competitor anyway.

I'm not saying the drivers have "issues", but FPS tanks relative to lower end Nvidia cards in older niche games/esports titles. AMD has modern AAA stuff optimized VERY well and it shows.


I'm 100% convinced the hardware is stronger than what is presented. They don't call it AMD "fine wine" for nothing. This has always been the case.

I've been watching this card. It came out in July, and this is the first price drop I've seen. It's a pretty minor drop from the release price, so waiting to see if anything else falls close in the next couple weeks.

As others have said this is somewhere between the 6600XT and 6700XT. It released at a pretty good price, but I have been hesitant since it doesn't seem like anyone has reviewed it. If it gets a good sale it seems like a no-brainer though.

True, but they do better with multiple video outs.

AMD works well for modern games. There's some old stuff on Gog that runs through layered virtual machines that doesn't consistently play nice with AMD. There is also some graphics software that prefers NVidia.

I recently upgraded my early 2017 build that had an R7 1700, 16GB 2666MHz RAM, and an 8GB RX 480 all on a B350 based motherboard.

I bought the R5 5600 and 16GB 3600MHz RAM for $155 total.

What would be the best graphics card to replace my old 8GB RX 480 keeping the B350 chipset in mind?

Although I've been having sporadic "AMD driver timeout" errors ever since upgrading the CPU and RAM, and I can't rule out that the recent BIOS that allowed me to have these upgrades in the first place is not somehow the culprit. So I don't want to stick to an old chipset at the expense of stability and overall performance.

For example if I took my new CPU, RAM, and your GPU recommendation over to a B550 motherboard, will they perform significantly better?

How much money do you have to spend if you want a best graphic card?
