  1. I find that the RX 6500 XT has gotten an unfair bad rap. We have to remember the context in which the card came out. Used RX 570's and RX 580's were very expensive during the GPU crunch / mining boom … you could pay upwards of 300$USD to 400$USD for a used RX 580. When this card came out, it was a godsend. Because of the limited RAM (4 Gb), The Ethereum Data was over 4 gb so you couldn't use the RX 6500 XT for mining (at least, not mining Ethereum). So it didn't get priced crazy like the other cards.

    I own 3 RX 6500 XT's so far (multiple builds running in the house for various members of the family) and the ONLY game I've had trouble with is Star Citizen (which is totally unoptimized) — I have an RX 6600 XT when I want to play that game. Every other game we play work fine with this card in 1080p. Is it perfect? No. It's got warts. But it works, and it's new and it's under warrantee.

    This being said, I think the 6500 XT is still overpriced. Right now where I am (Canada), they go from 250$CAD to 300$CAD depending on the model. During black friday, you could get them for around 200$CAD. This card SHOULD be around 150$ ~ 200$ CAD max. Otherwise right now, with the GPU market back to "normal" (whatever that means) .. you would be better off getting one of these Chinese RX 580's with 2048 stream processors than this card. If the price of the 6500 XTs does go down to say, 150$CAD (120$USD) then it's a good price.

    Performance-wise, RX 6500 XT on PCIE gen 3.0 is about RX 570 performance-level. On PCIE gen 4.0 it's closer to RX 580 perf levels. It's a solid 1080p card and only struggles on super unoptimized games (like CyberBug).

  4. I sold a few PC's with 6500XT cards in them, totally usable for a budget gaming experience! MSRP should have been £99, I picked up mine used all were under £90 so price to performance was acceptable!
