You can get a AMD RX 6650 XT for $265

It’s that price from Newegg. There’s a coupon to get $35 off.

I may have bought a cheaper card, for around $250 after tax. What is $265 after tax? Probably close to $300. If not $300.

I have zero regrets.

How much was the 5500 XT after tax? $240? I don’t recall if $220 was before tax or after. If $240, the new card was only $10 more.

I might regret it next month, if I bought it. New cards are coming out. But they probably will use more power, so no thanks. I’d need to plug another PCIe cable into PSU, which might require removing the PSU, too much work.

And more power, means more heat.

Looks like the 5500 XT was around $220 after tax. If I bought a new GPU, I should have waited longer. But it was only $30 or so more.
