There is no such thing as future proofing with computers.. Been in the industry for almost 40 years in business myself for 30. I'll advise you as I have hundreds of thousands of clients over the years. Spend less, upgrade more often. This is a great card for the price. Don't always anticipate future price moves. Memory whether it is in GPU, Ram, SSD etc is volatile. Right now pretty low but in my career I've seen 300% increases in a month. The performance difference is about 11% lower from 4060 but price difference is more. The 16gb vs 8gb is pretty much a non-issue for 1080p gaming. If you are looking at higher res..you need to be looking at 4070 Super or 7800XT minimum. This card pairs well with the low priced i5-12600kf which has run as low as $140-$150 or Ryzen 7600X right around $200-$220.

You are equating the price release of a new product based on "open box," price and in some cases probably be a used gpu if someone decides to just not want it anymore a week along the line. By that logic any first party or 3rd party would be selling that item at A 100% GUARANTEED LOSS with that kind of pricing. I live near microcenter and even I think that's an absurdly ridiculous pricing. Your logic would be best applied to older series of gpu, the 6650, the 6600, the 3080, etc. Hell, the rx 580 took almost 2 years till i managed to buy one new for $80 and that one was actually legit albeit taking a month to ship from china.

Also, you have to remove the smooth brain gamer brain mindset that just because you saw it at that price at a microcenter, doesn't mean that that's the price it should go for. If you were to ask anyone who has a ever built or bought a PC I guarantee you that 9/10 times they would say that they didn't buy it off microcenter. I build PC's for a living and the heavy discounts I get from heading directly to Microcenter to buy on sales is basically the profit I make since the labor only takes me less that 1hr of assembly.

But going by your logic as the seller, I would have to 1. Base my price on the lowest price/discount/ sales /preowned (despite it being new) pricing of all the parts for the pc. 2.Further lower my price because most of the time microcenter has it by average 10% lower price.

I might as well give the buyer a $50 gift card and take him to dinner by that logic. And that's just the entry level and mid-gpu. Now Imagine if were talking about high end that costs 500-1100 dollars.

There is a difference between being a frugal spender and being and a tightwad cheapskate.

I think 7600 or 4060 has been hovering around $300 or lower, are those worth a bit more for future proving?

World is movie towards Ai programming so you might want to get the 7600XT when it comes down in price. I believe that by June the 7600XT will be $250-280 with 16gb that you will ultimately need for the next update on some battle royal game.

You are insane if you think that the 7600xt will be that low in June of this year. End of 2025 sure, maybe, (big if) but it's insane how you guys want everything to drop so low to the point that it's unrealistic. If the stock 7600 is still going for the 240-270 strong, and has held that price for as long as its been, you're telling me that in just a few months everything will move $50 down from the release of a 7600xt plus it being discounted. To put it to perspective you, this is people's mindset. 6600 regular 180 now will go for 130. 6650xt now 220ish going for 170. 7600 which I bought for 230 (triple fan version, on sale with avatar game pc code) will go for 180.

This is as insane as those handful of people who say that the 6600 and 6650xt will be going for 120 and 140 respectively mid 2024. Crazy.

Another perspective on this card is that it is about the same as the GTX 1080, which I'm using right now.

I can play any game on it with max or almost max settings at 1440p. But I do feel the limitations of the card. The only game where I feel it's more than slightly constrictive is Alan Wake 2. I'd have to turn things down to medium and give up on a lot of niceties to play it.

But for things like Baldur's Gate 3, totally fine maxed out. (of course no special RT, etc)

And this 6650 is a wee bit faster than the 1080. Pretty impressive.

Interesting that if you are upgrading from low end/budget gpu like 970/1660/rx580, the price/performance increase still seems reasonable. You are still getting an upgrade for $200.

However, once you start getting into 4xxx, you are paying alot more. It looks like nvidia/amd knows enthusiasts would pay >$500 for that 100 fps

This price for the 6650 XT is just around the best $ / performance value you can find. And its a competent card.

Hundreds OR thousands, maybe. Hundreds OF thousands unlikely. (200,000+)

That's about right. The 6650 is pretty far from high end, it's solidly mainstream. But from the data it can handle every game really nicely at 1440p, just no RT. it can probably do RT in small amounts, too, depending on game.

If I didn't have a video card, and I was making less than $50/hr, this is probably the card that I would get.

Anyone interested in AI engineering right now will need to look to Nvidia. I wish that AMD would get in the AI game, but they are way behind. 7600xt is a great choice for gaming, not AI.

It looks like this consumes a little more power than the Radeon RX 5500 that came with my HP TG01-2003W (bought a year ago on a deal here). Do I have enough headroom to buy it, or should I upgrade/buy a secondary power supply?
