I’ve recently noticed that the 5500xt 8gb version outperforms the 1650s (in my country the prices for these two are the same). Everyone is talking about amd having better optimization for games in the future (due to console gaming) and in some cases the 5500xt is even faster than the 1660. Should I get the 5500 xt or stick with the 1650s?

Many people also complain about drivers from AMD. Its a question of pure performance vs. features.

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

Id say go for the one that performs better or the one you can afford. Though with those two, id rather get an RX 580. Its cheaper, has more vram and in most cases performs better.
