What does this comparison mean?
Only 9 FPS separates RTX 2080 8GB and RX 6650 XT 8GB in the supplied results, a 5.2% lead. Both have 8GB, so there is no memory-capacity increase to accompany this small benchmark difference. Individual-card condition and the price difference deserve attention here.
Both variants have 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 2080 8GB
The original RTX 2080 launched in September 2018 with Turing architecture and 8GB of graphics memory. It introduced dedicated RT and Tensor hardware and is separate from the later RTX 2080 Super.
RX 6650 XT 8GB
The RX 6650 XT is an 8GB GDDR6 RDNA 2 model introduced with AMD's May 2022 Radeon refresh.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
