The 6650 XT series will not (yet) replace the 6600 series; the Radeon RX 6650 XT also features 2048 stream/Shader processors. The L3 cache and RDNA2 GPU architecture, on the other hand, will result in a speedier product. This AIB card operates at a maximum Turbo clock speed of 2694 MHz. The BIOS supports fan stop in idle mode, which means the card is passive (no fans spinning) while not in use, benefiting from a silent device. Two spinners and a single 8-pin power connection are seen.
No anti-sag support bracket is included because MSI has built it right into the card (If you look closely at the top of the card you will see a long metal bracket running from basically just behind the dual 8-pin PCIe ports all the way to the IO shield and is connected to the PCB and backplate by multiple bolts).
The combination of a nice sturdy backplate with modest looks works somehow. This is a card that can be inserted into a low-cost (well ...) system build and quickly improve its appeal
A relatively small size of this card shows a length of 11 inches / 27cm. MSI could have made this card even smaller, as the top plastic cooling stretches out. Five carefully machined heatpipes in a 'Core Pipe' design is hidden beneath the plastic facade and dual fan combo. These heat pipes are cooled by two cooling arrays, which are cooled by two "Torx Fan 4.0" 95mm fans. This combo is known as MSI's TWIN FROZER 8 cooling system, and it remains impressive.
