GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT

[futbar66]

I have seen many youtubers slating the RX 6500 XT but on comparison websites the RX 6500 XT slaughters the GTX 1650. Am I missing something or is the RX 6500 XT the better budget card. I only have about £160 to spend.

Thanks guys. I don't play games that much as I prefer to do that on my xbox x. I just want to have the power there if I need it. I'll have a look on ebay and see what I can get for my low budget.

It's all about funds but I am watching a couple of 6600xt on ebay.

After all this I might just stick with the RX 6500 XT. It's replacing a r9 380 4gb. I can always upgrade at a later date if I decide to game on the pc. And it will have a warranty. I am a bit wary of ebay.

After all your advice I have decided to spend a bit more and go for the XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 8 GB Video Card. It's about £60 more but guaranteed and I hope this won't throttle the CPU.

Thanks all.
