One thing I will say about the 6500XT reviews is some of them have some conclusions I don't agree with. As an example, I have seen reviewers say "If a used 580 costs the same a 6500XT, I'd rather buy a 580."
While on Paper that may sound like a good idea because a 580 is better than a 6500XT, a used 580 that's now 5 years old that costs $300 might not be a good idea. Not only do we not know what the used GPU has been through, it's also out of warranty.
So if you can find a GPU that released sooner like a 5500XT or a 16 series from Nvidia that's about the same price, I agree. But buying a 5 year old GPU, while may be a good idea on Paper, might not be the best idea in the grand scheme of things...
