Sapphire tries to solve the RX 6500 XT's VRAM problem with the introduction of the PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT 8 GB

The AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT was meant to be a budget 1080p board for cash-strapped gamers. But in making the GPU cheaper and unattractive to miners, AMD cut too many corners, leaving consumers with a card that barely had enough VRAM for 1080p. Sapphire is looking to change that with the new Sapphire PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT 8 GB.

The extensive connectivity and a very distinct cooling system also indicate that the laptop is striving for the highest performance.
