This is a ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6650 XT OC Edition, a 6650XT for roughly the price of a 6600XT. I'll wait for RDNA3 cards myself, but this might be of use to anyone needs a new card right now.
Edit: A better option for the same card is the Computer Alliance ebay store using OCT202212 for $439.12 - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/175379896305
The XT is significantly faster, but whether it's that many dollars faster is up to the buyer I guess
The 6600 XT is about 15% faster than the 6600.
The 6650 XT is about 5% faster than the 6600 XT.
Not great value at $500, especially when considering we've had 6600 at ~$300 and 6600 XT at ~$350 in the past
The $699 RX 6800 is also ~67% faster than this for 40% more cost.
Price in title?
Woops, fixed.

cheaper on ebay - 449.10 or 439.10 if you have ebay plus
That's a sweetener for sure.
It’s the same store too lol
Reckon it's worth updating this post?
Yes
Thanks to the mods for cleaning up the titles etc
6600xt had plenty of sales at $349-$399 delivered previously which makes this look like a bad deal
Well it's not like you'd expect to find bargains on ozbargains
Save an extra $50 on their eBay store with code OCT202210
Unfortunately it's still over priced even with $50 off. It needs to be about $350 delivered.
"Bargain" level AMD pricing
6600 < $300
6600 XT / 6650 XT ~$350, 6650 is a garbage tier created by AMD so treat it as the 6600 that it is
6700 XT ~$500
6800 XT ~$700
6900 XT ~$900
AMD has already confirmed inventory issues in the last few days so AIB's and distributors will be able to move on pricing once AMD start handing out the cash
Just my 20 cents for non gaming use. I have 6600 non xt which is great for 1080p gaming. But I have noticed that it is significantly slower than my rtx 3050 laptop in TwinMotion (unreal engine) especially rendering outputs. My laptop takes 2 minutes for 30 second video render while my desktop with 6600 takes over 9 minutes. NVIDIA is more optimised at videos and 3d rendering?
TwinMotion says minimum VRAM requirement is 6GB:

The 6600 has 8GB and the RTX 3050 Laptop has 4GB so something is wrong here
It runs fine with 4gb. You can't have advanced lighting. I think the difference is some sort of video encoding lacking in and cards
this is a bad price.. the non XT 6600 is $299-320ish, isn't this like 10-15% faster for 60% more cost? HODL or whatever
