5.0 out of 5 stars Overall best/on a short list for budget or lower power draw.
This card is a bit of mixed bag. If you judge it for what it is - and not what it could have been if AMD tried harder - it's arguably the overall best choice in a new budget card and/or if looking for lower power consumption. It is a sad commentary on the state of budget cards that this counts as probably the best. But there simply is no competition in this segment. Nvidia has done a new budget card in 5-6 years.As far as 3D (games) performance goes this card is about as fast as Nvidia's GTX 1060 and AMD's Radeon 570/580 . Cards released in 2016/2017. The GTX 1650 (released 2019) is a bit slower but if you search you can find versions of that card that can run on the PCIe bus alone - no extra power cable needed. Appealing if upgrading an older computer with a modest power supply.My primary goal was finding the overall best combination of low power draw and still decent performance. The RX 580 can be had new here on Bolo for around $110. Performance is close but it it's rated at 185 watts and under stress pushes 200 watts. The RX 570 cannot be found new but lots of used on eBay. A claimed 120 watt power draw but they lie. The real world power consumption is very close to the RX 580.The GTX 1060 is probably faster than any of the other cards I've mentioned (not by much) but is rated at 180 watts and while a six year old design is still more expensive than any of the cards mentioned, including the RX 6500 XT being reviewed.A few other things. Nvidia cards are well known to stress 3D performance above 2D. So if you primarily play games the Nvidia cards are good to look at. But if you are doing a lot of picture editing or content creation, the 2D scores of Nvidia cards are notably lower. And AMD's cards are well known to suck substantially more power when using a two monitor set up versus a single monitor. One of the appeals of the RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT - for me - is that power consumption for two monitors remains very reasonable.So anyway.... This card - the RX 6500 XT - is basically the little engine that could. It performs substantially better than you would think looking at the specs. Yes, only PCIe 4x lanes and running PCI 3 vs PCI 4 lowers performance. Yes, a narrow PCI bus (64 bit) and only 4GBs of memory. But the memory is extremely fast. And the clock speed of the GPU itself is extremely high. So if you keep game settings moderate so as to not exceed the 4GB onboard memory, this card delivers.Also of interest is that if your motherboard supports it, you can help this card a lot with faster system memory. Actually, AMD's cards seems especially found of faster memory. I'm running DDR 4 4000MHz memory on PCIe 3.0 and synthetic benchmarks are all 10-15% faster than normal for PCIe 4.0.Power draw - something really important to me just a hobbyist - is also appealing. The smaller brother RX 6400 only draws 53 watts and never needs an extra power connector. But it has just been cut back to much and is.... well .... not fast. Nvidia's GTX 1650 is rated at 75 watts (maximum for PCIe only) but is difficult to hard to find not requiring an extra power connector. This card, the RX 6500 XT - is rated at 107 watts and does require an extra six pin power connector. But my on tests using a watt meter (total system draw) and those of professional reviewers all say the same thing. The RX 6500 XT isn't using a lot of power. Single monitor idle is 2 watts. Dual monitor is 10 watts. Running games it is rarely above 85 watts and max at 100. Even if your computer is older and power supply low wattage, you can probably get a four to six pin adaptor and run this card.Overall, the card strikes a good balance between price, performance and power consumption. Sure, it would be a lot better card with 6 or 8GB of memory. Or more PCIe lanes and faster bus. Or both. But then consumers would probably have no reason to purchase the more expensive (and still a great value) RX 6600. At least AMD tries to offer a couple of new budget cards. Something Nvidia hasn't bothered with for a long, long time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance for an excellent price.
Bought this on a sale for $230, and upgrading from a 1660 super, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. This card blew me out of the water!First off, the AMD software is excellent. You have a lot of control over the aspects of the card - you can customize what shows up on the overlay, you can create performance profiles for each game, you can adjust minimum and maximum power draw (including for each game), and even overclock!For the actual performance of the card, I've been thoroughly impressed. Modern triple A games can run at 1080 around medium-high settings at a solid 60 - Elden Ring, Remnant II, Returnal. You can run some of them at 1440p, even. Games from previous generations are no challenge - Dark Souls 3, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, Persona 5 Royal - games like that can all run at 1440P high at a smooth 60, and some less demanding games can run at 4K without issue! Emulation performance is great - most PS2 games I played ran at 4K 60fps without issue, select PS3 games can enjoy similar performance (although it's much more dependent on the CPU than the GPU) too.As far as temps go, it stays pretty cool. The only time I've ever really seen it go much above 70C is playing a modern triple A game at 1440P - otherwise, it likes to hover around 65-68C.Power draw is solid. It doesn't normally go above 70-80W unless, again, I'm playing a modern triple A game at 1440p, in which case it can go up to around 110W.It's not notably loud, but admittedly I don't sit close to my computer - it's next to my television in the living room.Overall, this is an excellent card, and I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a budget bang-for-your-buck card!
Works great in my HP ProDesk Slim Profile.
I can run Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War on the machine now at 60fps.
Exactly What I Wanted For My Windows Server
Great price for a DDR5 video card if you dont need to do gaming.
Great budget GPU
What a huge upgrade from my RX580. I've undervolted the 6600 and it returns the same FPS while running 4-7° C cooler during gaming. It's fans also runs much quieter than my CPU cooler.This card has more than doubled the FPS in COTW The Angler, with a substantial increase in the in-game visual quality settings. Dakar Desert Rally is the same even though it's not an AMD optimised game. I'm waiting for the end of the month to finish downloading Cyberpunk 2077, can't wait.I shopped for a used one on more than one online service over the last 6 mos and found them to be the same price or more when including shipping to Canada. Even used last gen cards were silly expensive.Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and I recommend this card to anyone looking for a reasonably priced 1080p graphics card upgrade.Oh, don't forget to turn on resizable bar in the BIOS.
muy buen producto
por 100dlrs es lo mejor que puedes usar para actualizar tu equipo.lo recomiendo para editar video y para diseño grafico, agrega 16gb de ram y puedes tener una compu de trabajo a buen precio.Use la paqueteria Adobe y si mejora el rendimiento en comparacion con el chip de video Intel HD 4000 que viene por defecto.Permite jugar muchos juegos a buena calidad.No funciona bien Davinci Resolve, pero va perfecto con PremierPro y AfterEffects, ademas de Photoshop, AcdSee, Ilustrator y Corel
Excelente calidad precio.
Una excelente tarjeta gráfica, es un poco superior a la rtx3060 pero con mejor precio, yo la ocupo para videojuegos y edición de video, los programas que utilizo los ejecuta bien sin problema pero puede que se trabe un poco en animaciones mas pesadas, en cuestión a videojuegos, va muy bien para resolución 1080 y las configuración en medio si que juegas a lo actual, hoy en día está barata, pero si tienes mas presupuesto, te recomiendo una rx6700xt o una rtx4060, ya que andan por el mismo precio, y te brindarán un mejor rendimiento, pero si no, es una buena adquisición, lo que no me gustó es que no tiene backplate, en general una buena tarjeta gráfica para videojuegos en 1080 y 60fps en calidad media depende del juego.
