Do you think this graphics card is worth its money? Or should I buy another graphics card?

Depends on a few things, personally I'd suggest spending a bit extra and getting a 6650XT/7600 just so you don't have to deal with effectively being a "beta tester".

Certain older games, especially ones you can't use DXVK with (Because of anti-cheat), can be next to unplayable (For example, Halo: Reach in MCC can drop to as low as 15-20 fps, feels like a slideshow at times), some games crash (Look up recent benchmarks, people are still having issues with some games and crashing).

Idle power consumption is ridiculous for the entire lineup, my A750 is usually around 40w idle, best case scenario it goes as "low" as 35w with both my monitors unplugged.

However, because I do like the card simply because of Quick Sync, if it hard worse hardware encoding/decoding, I wouldn't have even bothered with it, I would've gotten a 6600.

However, overall it'll really depend on what you expect/want out of the GPU.

I almost got an a750 on sale but then it's price jumped up to about the same as an Rx 7600 locally so I went with that for my mini pc.

The a750 is a great card if it's at a good price absolutely obliterates the rtx 3050 and 3060 8gb and is often cheaper. Although AMD has some really competitive offers at that price point like the one I got
