Wait for the ARC 770 reviews on Wednesday 10/5. MSRP is $329 but might be $299 IRL and MIGHT blow the 6650 XT away, especially since the 770 has excellent RT performance.

I just picked up a RX6600 for $230 yesterday. Debating if I want to keep it or wait for the ARC 770. Wouldn't there be a lot of compatibility issues with the ARC 770 so early on?

Depends on what you play. For DX 12 and Vulkan based soft ware it should be pretty stable. For older things they have been working on the drivers a lot but there will likely be some issues. That said, a big part of all the delays has been driver optimization to not fall on their face out the gate.

I'd wait, even if Arc sucks it'll still put pressure on AMD and Nvidia to lower last gen prices even further. Plus if AMDs RX7000 series drops in early November it's going to put even more pressure on them to drop prices.

I think a lot of previous issues with ARC are driver related. But I have faith in Intel to fix these issues and actually bring a competitor on the market. When I say market we talk about 1080/1440p the midrange cards. For me to go with Intel its a bit to early on specially since I expect some high end cards to come down in price again in November.

I'd love to grab an A770, but I'm worried that the performance might suck on my PC since it's too old to support PCIe re-bar. Rumor is that Arc performance is bad on such systems. Waiting for benchmarks.

My biggest issue with A770 is if it becomes abandonware and they put it out for a while and then just stop making and supporting them shortly after.

Product Description:	FEATURES Powered by AMD RDNA 2 Radeon RX 6650 XT Integrated with 8GB GDDR6 128-bit memory interface WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System with alternate spinning fans Screen cooling Graphene nano lubricant Protection back plate CORE CLOCK Boost Clock* : up to 2635 MHz Game Clock* : up to 2410 MHz WINDFORCE 3X COOLING SYSTEM The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 3x80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 3 composite copper heat pipes direct touch GPU, 3D active fan and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation. ALTERNATE SPINNING Alternate Spinning can reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase air pressure. SMOOTH AIRFLOW GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure. 3D ACTIVE FAN The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game. UNIQUE BLADE FAN The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. GRAPHENE NANO LUBRICANT Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter. SCREEN COOLING Extended heatsink design allows air flow to pass through, providing better heat dissipation. HEAT PIPES DIRECT TOUCH The shape of the pure copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU. The heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a large metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling. PROTECTION BACK PLATE The back plate not only provides an aesthetical shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection. EXTREME DURABILITY AND OVERCLOCKING The graphics card uses the better power phase design to allow the MOSFET to operate at lower temperature, and over-temperature protection design and load balancing for each MOSFET, plus the Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors, to provide
