The AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT is a mid range graphics card for desktop PCs. It is using the Navi 24 graphics chip which uses the RDNA 2 architecture and is manufactured in 6nm at TSMC. The 6500XT offers 16 compute units (CUs = 1,024 shaders) and 4 GB GDDR6 dedicated VRAM connected via a 64 Bit interface (143.9 GB/s max).
The performance of the Radeon RX 6500 XT is similar to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super, but slower than an older Radeon RX 5500 XT. Therefore, the card is best suited for 1080p and high presets of 2021 games (see below for actual game benchmarks).
The power consumption is rated at 107 Watt (TGP) and therefore similar to a GTX 1650 Super (100 Watt).
