GPUs are impossible to buy, but AMD, Nvidia, and soon Intel are all releasing new cards. The Radeon RX 6500 XT is the first new card of 2022, on TSMC’s 6nm process. But is it TOO affordable?

Back then he was not a woman 😭
Great choice at it's current price, imo.
This is a budget video card. If you have a motherboard with PCIe 4.0, then this card won't be terrible, at least for older games, especially if you run them at 1080p.
Nice to know the 580 is still at least considered a half capable card today.
I mean I'm running an R9 380 with 4GB in 2023 and I just this year got the first game ever for me that drops below 20 frames sometimes with this card. Granted most games I only get 40 frames but since I don't play FPS it's workable. Currently looking for newer cards around the 200€ range btw since the legacy driver seems to be crashing since like last week.
i upgraded to it from a gtx 950. only complaint i have is the iffy drivers that occur with windows updates
This card looks like a prime candidate for using a CPU cooler with no fans… has anyone tried this?
Hey.. what you talking about man, this gpu is a good media PC Card because it has hdmi 2.1 😂 I don’t know why anyone would buy it for gaming though. If you can’t afford a better card than this you shouldn’t be PC gaming, buy a console.
Also most of the new cards even in 2023 are just more power efficient versions of past year 😂
Only the 4090 actually shows a performance increase from last gen.. this is the new norm 2x the price with half the performance.
You can get it brand new, retail box, for around 165.00 now so….factoring in the price it's actually a good card.
This is an obsolete video and wasn't even all that accurate from day 1. This is a budget GPU…. for the price, the card is actually very good. In April 2023 it's only $165.00.
In 2023 its really not that bad going by more recent reviews the 8gb version if you can find it is alot better.
But what you should get for 200€?
this ages terribly. considering it is a budget gpu. something ltt must not understand the use of or even need for. considering the price on amazon of only $160. considering the gpu market at the time of launch. and especially considering the price of the low end nvidia cards starting at $300
" For an extra hundred bucks or so… "
Yo throw them up there if it's that easy to expand your budget to you !
Just bought this card on the used market place for 80 bucks upgrading from my radeon r2 thinking I got a Bargain and now I see this video
Does the 8GB variant fair any better?
Well, I think rx 6500xt might be a better deal for me as its a lot cheaper than gtx 1660 💀
Rx 6500 xt: $180
Gtx 1600: $320
I think it's a better deal for value in my area/country.
At my location pay a 100$ extra for 1660super (same in price as rtx3050) for 20fps difference with 6500xt (wich costs 230$) isn`t a good deal…
This got me, I did everything on my own and I was nervous. I ended up picking a 6500xt up, got a ryzen 5500 and a b550 board
I was wondering why it was tanking in so many games and then I realized the cpu does not support gen 4😭 never been so sad
I have one and it’s been fine for me but ehhh
