I'm buying a whole new system for myself,and I'm having trouble deciding between 1650 super (single fan) and rx 5500 xt 4gb. I watched multiple reviews and they're trading blows but I'm not sure if single fan one will down the performance much. I could go with 1660 if i go with dram-less ssd without hmb. All cards are gigabytes.

5500XT will perform slightly better than 1650 super. do not get 1 fan cards. how much is rx 580 8gb/ 5500XT 8gb?

Go with the 5500xt 8gig

That bigger frame buffer will go a long way

Between a 1650S and 5500XT 4GB, I'd personally go for the 1650S but just get the cheaper one. They're very similar in terms of performance, but the 1650S pulls around 30W less power.

I'd suggest checking for pricing on the 8GB variant of the 5500XT, as the extra VRAM could be nice to have, and that could be an argument in going with the 5500XT over the 1650S.

580 8gb is priced same as 1650 super and 5500 xt 8gb is priced same as 1660. 5500 xt 4gb is $20 more than 1650 super, and 5500xt 8gb is another $20 more. I'm thinking of waiting a bit more so that i could get 1660 or its super variant.

1660 is not worth it since it has around the same performance as 5500XT. 1660 super would be nice. consider rx 580. performs same as 500XT 8gb but runs hotter and draws more power.

That's why i dismissed 580, I'm building in a small case with 2 fans capacity so its high temperature could be a problem.
