"good upgrade from a roughly 1-year older card"

Upgrade Verdict

This is a sidegrade, not an upgrade. The RX 6650 XT is a slightly refreshed version of the RX 6600 XT, offering only a marginal performance increase that you likely won't notice in real-world use. Given the price, this is definitely not worth it.
