The RX 6600xt family of gpus have, over the course of this year 2022, hit a price point that makes them the best value that you can buy. The 6650xt here in particular, is the best value as it can often be found near the same price as the base 6600xt. It's just a straight up good purchase just like we used to get prior to the pandemic and supply lines being messed up.
I won't bore you with the details, I will just say that this gpu paired with a good cpu, at least something like the Ryzen 5600 or a i5 12400 Intel cpu, is a monster at 1080p. It runs every game at 1080p Ultra at well above 60 fps, even new games like Gotham Knights and Calisto Protocol. Pretty exciting, given the price.
If I had to give one gripe, a single con, it is that I don't know for how long this gpu will be viable. The issue with any midrange gpu right now, is that we don't know how well they will run games coming out over the next couple years. It's possible this gpu does extremely well. It's also possible it becomes a 1080p60 medium settings gpu. Time will tell.
Right now, I would recommend this to anyone.

Worth the price
Picked up a 6650xt hellhound for $208 and that's the only reason I bought it was the price. I got it to throw into a ten year old z87 i5 4670k build to replace a GTX 770sc just to see if it can run anything slightly modern so my kids can use it. The GPU runs at 10-35% utilization while the CPU is at 100% running destiny 2 on 1080p low settings and it still stutters it hits 100 fps but the lows are terrible down to 11fps. The CPU has a 1.0ghz overclock and brand new kryonaut thermal paste on a dual tower 140mm phanteks cooler. Needless to say the z87 platform has reached the end of its life. I will be building another ryzen 5 7600x platform for the kids.
