About the same as or worse than the 5600XT and costs more. Exactly what one would expect to happen after people have willingly paid more for less for a few years

Overclocked it reaches Vega 64 (my card) levels, at the right price point it would be a very good 1080p card.

Amd rx6500xt is destroyed. It should cost half the price of rtx3050. Amd should never release that card...

Nvidia will dominate enthusiasts with 3090ti and budget gamers with 3050.

True. But at least the 3050 has decent support for RTX. And it has DLSS 2.x.

3050 is more like rx6600 non xt competitor looking at the pricing they are very close. 6500xt is on league its own, crappy league that is.
