Review on Video card GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6650 XT GAMING OC 8G (GV-R665XTGAMING OC-8GD), Retail by Mateusz Majchrzak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

Works noisy even at a temperature mark of 50 degrees. You can set it manually of course, but on auto settings it makes noise. Under load, the chip heats up to 55 degrees, but the GPU Hotspot (that is, the hottest place in the chip, not the middle one) warms up to 85 degrees. What is the reason for the temperature difference of 40 degrees between the average temperature and the hottest point of the chip? Gigabyte support said that the video card does not have a Hotspot sensor at all. Then where does AIDA64 read these readings from? Also, while playing Far Cry 6, artifacts were seen for half a second in full screen in one place of the game, flying out of the tunnel. But I associate it with the software part, rather than with the hardware. Apparently, the truth is that Nvidia optimizes games better. Gives stable 60+ frames at maximum settings in FHD resolution. Suitable for games. At idle, the temperature is 30-33 degrees. Despite the disadvantages, I think that the card is good for the money for which I took it, namely 23 at the beginning of the year with a promotional code and cashback

Pros
  • Five heat pipes Three fans Software from AMD is quite good Driver installed without problems. The price is lower than competitors from Nvidia You can change the backlight color There is a semi-passive mode of operation of the fans (that is, they will not work at temperatures below 50 degrees), but this mode can be disabled and the fans set to active mode permanently
Cons
  • Baffling hotspot temperature discrepancies Optimization for "green" is better in games There are three turntables, but they are of small diameter
