Generally, you'll find that the 6650 XT is about 20% faster than the regular 6600, and this is down to the 6600's 28 CUs as opposed to the 6650 XT's 32, a lower core clock speed, and slower VRAM. Fundamentally, there aren't any huge differences between these two GPUs, but the 6600 can be found in the $200–$250 range, which makes it more accessible to budget buyers while having a better bang for your buck if you can find this card at the lower end of the price spectrum. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is essentially a cut-down RX 6650 XT. If you can't find either a 6650 XT or 6600 XT, then get the 7600, which will have good availability for the foreseeable future. If you find a 6600 XT for a much cheaper price than the 6650 XT however, get the 6600 XT instead. The 6650 XT never made a ton of sense as a purchase since its performance boost was paired with a price increase, but nowadays, the 6650 XT has better availability and costs about the same as the 6600 XT. Originally, I recommended the RX 6600 XT, which the 6650 XT theoretically replaced in 2022.

Intel's Arc A750 is also a competitor at $250 or less, but suffers from driver issues, and you might also consider the newer RX 7600, but in almost every respect it's effectively a carbon copy of the 6650 XT but for a little more. The 4060 does come with 8GB of GDDR6 like the 6600 XT, but does have an advantage with DLSS, superior ray tracing performance, and other Nvidia features, though not every user will find all that stuff useful. The 6650 XT's main performance-based competition is the RTX 4060, which usually goes for $300. However, the 6650 XT is also roughly $50 cheaper than these higher-end models, which helps it just barely squeeze into the budget class of graphics cards. Additionally, the 6650 XT has 8GB of GDDR6 as opposed to the 12GB found on the 6750 XT and 6700 XT, and the 10GB on the 6700. With 32 Compute Units (or CUs), the 6650 XT is a slightly cut-down version of the RX 6700 XT and 6750 XT, which both offer 40 CUs.
