MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4G OC GDDR6 Review
What it is, claims AMD, is an affordable GPU upgrade for the 47% of gamers still using graphics cards that are slower than an RX 570 or GTX 1650. And that's an audience which has been starved of options in this latest generation of GPUs. With ever more high-end cards getting released with ever higher price tags, the budget end of the market has been a barren wilderness, with stock of even the classic older cards having long since dried up in the face of a resurgent crypto mining industry.
The Radeon RX 6500 XT architecture that resides inside the new 6nm Navi 24 GPU is without doubt a step up in terms of design compared with either the GCN or Turing architectures of those older cards, and has allowed AMD to be rather parsimonious with the silicon that it has dropped into the RX 6500 XT.
Radeon RX 6500 XT power of AMD's latest Radeon architecture means that it needs just 16 compute units, and therefore only 1,024 stream processors—and a physical GPU footprint that's less than half the size of the 14nm chip nestled in the ol' RX 570—to be able to offer an upgrade over the aging graphics cards of that large percentage of PC gamers.
Radeon RX 6500 XT Infinity Cache feature of the RDNA 2 design also allows AMD to use a 64-bit memory interface to go along with its 16MB of magic cache memory. That means you get an effective bandwidth of 231.6GB/s from the paltry 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM onboard the RX 6500 XT.
It also means that, like the rest of its RX 6000-series brethren, this GPU can clock like an absolute beast. The base Game Clock AMD has marketed the RX 6500 XT with is a pretty astounding 2.6GHz; "the fastest clocks on a gaming card," says AMD. That allows the card to offer 5.77 TFLOPS of single precision compute power from a very slight GPU.
Which does, however, all put it significantly behind the nearest GPU in the Radeon RX 6000-series stack, with the next step up, the RX 6600, offering 1,792 RDNA 2 cores, twice the amount of Infinity Cache, memory, and size of aggregated memory bus.
The MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4G OC has 2 Years of Warranty.
