The Radeon RX 6650 XT replaces the RX 6600 XT in AMD’s lineup. That one beats the GeForce RTX 3060 in performance under certain circumstances, but always only narrowly. Now, after the GPU’s frequency and memory bandwidth increase, Radeon’s dominance is clear, and yet efficiency is still on AMD’s side. The non-reference Sapphire Nitro+ design is also super-quiet – the cooler is now quite a bit more robust.

Disclaimer: Starting with the Sapphire RX 6650 XT Nitro+ test, we discarded the old results and started collecting new ones. That’s because as part of a game update, the raytracing graphics options changed and it was no longer possible to continue with the previous settings.
