From strictly a cost perspective, no.
This card is currently the best bang for the buck especially at 1080p.

I'd probably skip the 6700 and get the 6700xt if I were doing 1440p or above.

Drivers are fine just don't try to overclock or else you'll have an occasional crash and reset. Buy a factory overclocked card if that's important to you.

What resource are you looking for? Do you mean the MSI vs ASRock? I've not seen any deal breakers for general usage and gaming for either during my searches. Both are very basic models with budget coolers. You can find some benchmarks, thermals etc on major reviewers like Hardware Unboxed. They might not cover your exact model but something close enough (e.g. up or down a tier, so search broadly). The 6650 XT came out late into the previous gen cycle so there are a lot less reviews.

Drivers have been pretty solid for the RX 6000 series. I have the RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT in my household and haven't had issues gaming on either. I went with Sapphire for both though as their GPUs have been great for many years for my builds, going back to 2014. Sapphire tends to charge a bit more due to their thermals, reliability, reputation etc. Wouldn't pay too much more though Smilie.

Boost clock is 2669MHz versus 2635MHz for the reference 6650 XT (+34MHz overclock) ​

I think you mean RX 6700 XT (12GB) right? I use the 6600 XT for 1080p ultrawide. I'd want the 6700 XT or higher for modern 1440p gaming for solid native raster performance.

Does this still qualify for the free games? I think that was supposed to end on the 4th. I don't see the free games mentioned on the product page

When cards were cheap over Black Friday this was the same decision I made. 6700's weren't worth it over the 6650 XT for the price. If you want to go faster you should get a 6700 XT.

Not the exact card but my 6600xt liked be undervolted. Go look up Ancient Gameplays and watch his video on overclocking/undervolting the 6600xt and it should be a good starting point for you with your 6650xt.
