The 6500XT is serviceable so long as you stay away from the VRAM limit. It's the connection between the GPU and the system memory that's suffering from the limitation. And all of the issues stem from it being a laptop GPU that was amputated from it's APU and slapped on a PCB.
I think serviceable is a good word. I just wish they charged less for this abomination.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Yeah... if it was about a $150 card or so, it would have been a lot more well received. I think you're spot on with the 5300. Had they released that for around $130, it would have sold like hotcakes.
I mostly agree, but you still probably need gen 4 or else you could take a performance hit. For example, from what I've in cyberpunk 1080p low the 6500 goes from 49 fps on gen 3 to 60 fps on gen 4 same settings. But the old 5500 xt 4gb gets 60 fps on both gen 3 + gen 4 same settings. Cyberpunk 1080p low only needs 3gb of vram so it's not running out. What's probably happening is the game needs more bandwidth outside of connecting to system memory, and x4 pcie lanes in just not enough on gen 3 but the x8 on the 5500 is.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff All the cards at this price point are abominations. That's the world we live in right now.
@@TheGameBench Even if the 5300 were released with an MRSP of $130, I guarantee it would have been sold at a higher price than that in todays market.
“What was AMD thinking?”
Probably something along the lines of ‘The GPU market is wretched right now that our customers will buy anything they can get their hands on’
This, I believe, is the unfortunate truth.
they have enough 6800 xt cards to give away to influencers on the Red Team Gaming tags yet they don't have enough supply of mid range cards to put on shelves and at reasonable prices.
yea, just like what msi did by re-releasing the gt730
probably it was probably a stupid thing 'cause new intel opus are coming out q2 2022
@@d3fault1420 you mean the gt 430 rebrand, that was truly awful.
The 6500XT was pulled from the mobile segment where it was supposed to be paired with an iGPU on the mobile platform where the iGPU would do the encoding to save space and optimize power. So it got kinda left off the thing. Like oof AMD
When I saw the 12400F in the specs, I just knew Dawid would complain about the lack of encoder.
Buyer tip: When trying to save cash with the 6500XT, think twice before double-dipping on savings with an Intel F-SKU. It will cost you streaming capability. If you wanna stream, spend the few extra bucks on a non F-SKU to get that Intel iGPU and it's included encoder.
I came here to say the exact same thing
@@brucethen Exactly. They weren't selling these as laptop GPUs (where they had been custom-built to work together with an APU), so they slapped the dies on a discrete board and called it a day.
If you aren't going to be streaming/recording anything (and let's be honest, most people aren't), then the 6500 XT will get you gaming. Would it be acceptable in a normal market? ... No, but it wouldn't have been _sold_ in a normal market.
Modifying dies to add features is not a trivial thing, unfortunately.
Im saving my money to get 6500 xt becouse its the same price as 1050ti on my country and i have an amd apu but my motherbpard is b350 so no pcie 4

That T600 is pretty damn good for a 40w SFF card. Shame it's price point is still highly inflated.
it's easily better than a GT 1030 in basically every metric and is a brilliant backup plan for if your main GPU dies suddenly - there used to be a £40 difference or so in price. Sadly, the T600 has gone up a lot in price in the last 3 months (about £70 here in the UK more than it was in December 2021) and the 6500XT is the better buy now. I've never seen an RX 5300 for sale here.
A quadro m2000 is a pretty good option, as it is a gtx 950 with 4gb vram for around 120
For sure. It is usable for 1080p gaming and basically doesn’t use any power, which is pretty cool. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Well it would be cool if it doesn't use use any power. Badum Tish! 😂
I looked at the eBay price and loudly shouted 235 gbp for a t600 are you on crac*? My neighbors are no doubt confused..
I've been watching vids on the T600 for a while, pretty cool that a bigger tech UA-camr is also doing a video on it. It's basically the successor to the GTX 1050
It has nothing to do with a 1050
@@dylanlac765n6 It is a Quadro, yes, but in terms of performance, it is somewhat better than a 1050.
well its a neutuered 1650 same die less cuda cores and slower bus but its still a better love story than the relaunched gt 730 that nvidia tried to pull last year
What is making me laugh at the moment here in the UK, is that all those high-end graphics cards that were unobtainable will very soon be flooding the second hand market. The reason? Well, we are just about about to hit a huge energy crisis where electricity will increase by a whopping minimum of at least 50%. Where once those mining rigs where making a tidy profit, on April 1st the cost of mining will not be so economical.
the prices are already dropping since china put further restrictions on crypto and has been heavy handidly banning mining which has lowered the demand for bitcoin and ethereum thus leading to this increasing 6 month price drop.
Wow! That’s very interesting. Mining with a 350w GPU won’t work then. 😂 Sorry to hear about the spike in power cost though. That really sucks.
And come the winter probably closer to a 100% increase, however those with cheaper rates abroad might still buy them up and ship them.
If you went on what to mine and used the calculator on there youed see that unless electric goes to 75p-£1 it's still profitable....
You might wanna invest in solar panels instead of GPUs at that point, 50% will be an insane increase for the people living a middle class life in your country
"Looks like it's on Steroids and Horse Tranquillisers" Had me burst out a laugh. Always like the sarcasm and jokes like these in the vids
haha yeah, I'm constantly surprised by the stuff that comes out of his mouth :'D
@@AnnaDoes It’s why we’re here!
yes he always have awesome quips.
As far as I know, the 6500XT was originally supposed to be a low end laptop DGPU which was going to end up paired with mobile Ryzen CPUs and not need to have an encoder at all. Or that many video outputs.
I wish it had of been cheaper to buy, but my previous card died last week. So for me the RX 6500 is doing it's job and I didn't have to sell my car and house to buy a better one at the time I needed a GPU.
This is the only new GPU many people can afford at the moment. Gaming performance is ok.
People could wait for literally 3-6 months, the gpu outage is already on the downwards trend, and my local shops are already stocking gpus for near normal prices. no reason to buy garbage
@@kanggoo57 Everybody knows that. My point is, that he should not tell people that the only hardware they can afford is crap.
@@autobus11a So should he sugarcoat it for people in your opinion? Lie and say its ok when its not? when a product is bad, its bad, doesnt matter if you can afford it or not. the card has the same/worse performance than my 6-7 year old 1060.
@@kanggoo57 I didn‘t say that. Some people may be offended by the word „crap“.
@@autobus11a People shouldnt get offended by everything, but hey its 2022 and everyone is weak as balls, just look at twitter. But yeah youre not wrong.
6500xt doesnt have a video encoder because it's not a desktop gpu by design. they syphoned off gpus meant for laptops which would be paired with apu's which already have encoders so the gpu didn't need them.
they just assumed the market was so bricked they'd get away with it.
As a fan of small form factor builds, I really wish there were more low-profile options like the T600.
I'm a bit disappointed that the 6500XT beat it so soundly since they're the same price, but in all fairness the T600 was intended to be used as an incredibly efficient workstation card at only 40W, and not as a gaming card. It also has Nvidia's encoding tech and 4 DP outputs.
For sure! I was also hoping the T600 would fair better against the 6500 XT, but like you said, it’s still a decent (of over priced) little GPU.
what if you pared it with say a 5600g? youd just use that for the encoding.
@@pauldethick6175 Yeah. It's a good question, and it should work since supposedly that's what AMD intended. The test system had a 12400F, so it didn't have an iGPU to do that. I wonder if the AMD drivers would allow that recording feature to work with an Intel iGPU.
What I'm really wondering in this comparison is how the T600 would do if you could turn on DLSS. Although it's built on the Turing architecture, I'm not sure how many of the features it supports. I picked one up awhile back and stuck it in a small form factor case that doesn't support full height PCIe cards, but I haven't explored what it's capable of yet.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff am going to lenode ur nan
@@pauldethick6175 Pairing a 5600G with 6500XT ? That is a bad move. Unlike R5 5600X, the 5600G only supports PCI-E gen 3 . As you can see in the video, the fps fall off a cliff in Doom Eternal.
my 1060 is holding its shit together and I'm pretty shocked how much its gone through, these newer cards won't age well
true man 1060 is legendary I bought my 1060 back in 2016 and it died last month never had any issue with performance.
The 1060 is an awesome card. I saw that on the recent steam hardware survey, it’s still the most popular graphics card.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff I would like to have seen a more modern kiddie-e-sports benchmark, such a Fortnite or Apex. I think the 6500XT is aimed that that Enthusiast Jr. market and makes a really good current Gen 1080p midrange card. For new budget prebuilds or folks with a limited upgrade budget, it was actually a really smart product to make. They knew that people would line up for a dog turd, but actually kinda threw them a bone. I *want* to hate this GPU, but I just can't; it arguably has a legit market segment.
the 970 even beats the 6500XT in some games
Same with My RX 580 8 gig, you'de think I'd be happy, but Jeez it's just sad that a 5 year old £180 brand new with delivery is Objectively better than this new RX6500xt. I use HW encoding all the time for streaming. I'm happy to even have a GPU though.
Saw the title, immediately thought: "Is he going to run it at Gen 4 or Gen 3?". Thanks for showing both, the intro for that section was fantastic. Thanks.
I have the next model down, the NVIDIA T400. I think it is great. Yes really! My use case is video encoding via NVENC. The T400 is a wonderfully cheap hardware video encoder. Try buying a CPU or GPU with the same encoding performance as the T400. You do have check out T400 prices as they vary hugely. Yes the 6500XT doesn’t have a video encoder which is why I would never buy it.
T400 owner too, amazing to add dp out to multiple displays in a commercial environment
RandonHD did a video on it a while back its basically a neutered 1650
T600 here. Been using for gaming and it's fine. I just find it gets a bit hot in my system.
@@RK-zf1jm are you talking about T400 or T600 to compare with 1650
@@cnhtol1586 the T600 is closer to the 1650, as they both have 4GB VRAM.
Honestly I love how all the reviewers call the 6500 XT "bad!".
I think AMD gave us what we wanted for a looong time, a cheap, accessible new entry-level GPU.
Scalpers aren't interested in it and there isn't shortage of it, and it's a beautiful thing!
I just sold my RX570 4GB for 220€ (bought used back in 2019 for 85€, LOL) and I bought a Powercolor RX 6500 XT for 245€.
Now I have a new RDNA2 GPU with all the modern features (that thing also supports RT!) and with, most importantly, 2 years warranty.
Good job man! Just don't ever try ray tracing tho' lol.
@@ShinyHelmet unless you use fsr
@@Slayer-xi7pu I'm not sure even fsr could help a 6500XT in a ray tracing situation lol.
Absolutely agree!
Reviewers trashed it as it has no encoder support nor more than 2 video outputs, completely ignoring that:
A. All modern CPUs can do video encoding/decoding just fine
B. Not everyone is a UA-camr/Streamer/Content creator with need for hardware encoding
C. Very few people who can only throw less than $200 on a GPU would have more than 2 monitors to begin with.
D. It's the only NEW GPU in stock at MSRP, and at that price tag.
It also received a lot of hate as it only has 4 Gb of VRAM and won't be able to game in high settings in 10 years anymore. Since when do people expect to game in ultra settings and keep an entry level GPU relevant for more than a couple of years? Put textures in medium (or low on demanding games, or even high or ultra in older games, it's all depending on games) and as long as you stay under that 4 Gb VRAM cap, the 64 bits bus won't be an issue.
It's an entry level GPU that does as good as top of the line GPUs from 6 years ago and with half the power consumption. It's absolutely fine.
It's also always in stock, and nowadays can even be found under its MSRP in Europe.
I have a 6500xt it runs most games 120 fps, some on 90 and a few (apex) at 60 on all high so I mean it's not bad if your on a budget.
I'd be crying if a gen 3 user buys it by mistake 🥶
@@Krooks522 pcie 3 with the rx6500xt isnt bad you might have to turn down some settings but can still have a great time on many games
the word on the street is that the 6500xt was designed as a laptop GPU that's meant to work with the integrated graphics, which explains the lack of and encoder and the measly 4 PCIE lanes
The main reason why the 6500XT doesn't have built in video encoding and decoding is because the chip it uses was originally meant for full-AMD laptops, where the APU would already have encoding and decoding built in and thus negating the need for it in the 6500XT.
Still doesn't make it any less stupid though, they could've just used a cut-down 6600/Navi 23 chip to make the 6500XT so it wouldn't have turned into an absolute dumpster fire due to the PCIe and VRAM bottlenecks.

I’ve also tested and used the 6500XT and it’s better then you and other reviewers say it is. It wasn’t met to be a high end GPU. The community asked for a GPU they could actually buy, new, under $300 that could game. It’s new, mostly under $300 and yes it can game. Funny how there isn’t as many people complaining about the RTX 3050 which Nvidia stripped down. Seems they get a pass?
And in many places, you can get a 6500XT for MSRP, whereas a 3050 seems to be always priced way over MSRP.
@@ShinyHelmet People also forget the 3050 was also only intended to be a laptop GPU. In fact it’s been in laptops for over a year before being released as a desktop GPU. Yet it’s only AMD they call out. Like wtf be far or don’t talk about it.
@@dberube82 Mobile 3050 isn't the same chip as the desktop. The 3050 desktop is a gimped 3060 desktop die. That's also one of the reasons the desktop 3050's are pegged at crazy prices, it's simply too expensive to make to sell anywhere near a $250 MSRP.
i bought the asus dual 6500xt as a replacement for my 1050ti and even being on gen 3 with a ryzen 5 2600 it runs the games i play a lot better than i used to, the recording is annoying as you cant use games bar to record the 30 second replay but using cpu on obs it works good

It is 9 in the morning where I live (the Netherlands) on a Friday and this really puts a smile on my face! Thanks Dawid!
Sad they wouldn't release the RX5300 to the general public. So many people are waiting for a card like that, but you can only get it in crummy prebuilts.
I've a RX 6500 and I'm actually enjoying it ! For under 300$ it's very good
It's currently under $200 (its MSRP), it basically has no competition at that price tag. It's a great little GPU, the best you can get new for that money.
Sure, the RX 6600 is miles ahead of it, but it's also nearly twice the price.
I'm a proud owner of RX 6500 XT too! It's EXCELLENT at that picetag of 189€ i bought it.

The 6500XT does not have an encoder because it was originally intended for use on laptops using the encoder from the iGPU that would be paired with it. So in the end the 6500XT is a mobile GPU ported to a normal video card.

We are really at a point where it is getting laughable to see gaming reviewers smirk at cards for being not the absolute cutting edge top of the line. Who cares if it's 90 or 190fps? If you were at least a 3d artist or something...
The 6500 lacks the encoder because it's a laptop chip that was meant to use the iGPU for encoding. It was never intended to be released as a desktop card originally.

how well does it perform over a 5700u?
Dawid compares a couple pieces of crap
> each of them is better than what I have
😞
It was a mobile GPU, designed to be on a laptop and not a stand-alone device. Because of that, there is no encoder and the 4PCIe Gen 4 lanes. AMD did a mistake with this... "product".
I had to buy this card today, not for gaming but to run my two new 27inch QHD monitors. This card replaced my old HD 6950 which I've had for over 10 years at least now, the two DVI ports and one HDMI port made it hard wire up the new monitors.
Dawid along with Hardware Unboxed and Gamer’s Nexus are my favourite tech UA-camrs, keep up the content
The 6500XT isn't a terrible card as long as it's paired with the right system and is the right price. I've actually seen these going for £170 new and in plentiful stock, which in the current market is....damn near astonishing.
Once again like i always say, don't even bother comparing to 2018/19 cards. Yes in an ideal world, it'd be much faster for the money. But we're not in that world, so we have to compare with what we CURRENTLY have available. Which isn't a lot. So in that regard, it's reasonable. Not great, not terrible, some might describe it >p>
I was looking at a 6500 xt on Amazon 200 gbp, I closed that page and bought a carpet cleaner 159 gbp has upholstery tools as well. Rug looks spot on now..
atleast they are both better than no gpu
While every other techtuber is trying to make content that has a point, Dawid is out here pushing content that makes no sense but is highly enjoyable and binge worthy. You have cracked the code, my friend.
Dawid the GPU from AMD was meant for a laptop where a number of functions were put into the CPU so that heat/power can be spread out statistically better between them so the cooling of the laptop overall can be managed. Imagine two chips, one at 70W and one at 30W and the lopsided cooling, but if you split it so they were 50/50 watt then you got an even cooling solution.
If AMD was smart, they would release a SSF form factor rx 5300. That card would be killer. I just want that card. But with a little power management it would run off of just PCI-e slot power. As you see in the testing it didn't go over 75 watts. I want a good 750 to replacement. That was the 1650, but you can't find those!! Especially the LP SFF version that I wanted and needed.
ive got an old dell with a 4790 in it and stuck a 6500xt in it, and honestly, its surprisingly good.
I just loved the title. I saw the honesty in it.
Yea sure if you can get any card at msrp then the 6500xt will be horrible. But on average people are paying more on the used market for cards that perform less. And the 6500xt will be new.
This card is extremely underrated.
I just love how your content just feels budget friendly and when you check out laptops they aren't $2,000 highest end possible laptops that no one can afford
The rx 6500 xt is for casual gamers, not for content creators. Also, consider the fact its $200 and supports DXR
Hey, I just had a colonoscopy and I'm running just fine, thank you!
I love the absolutely random video ideas lmao
I love your channel man. I dont watch any other tech channels after finding yours.
I definitely would recommend the T600 if the person was going to game sometimes and content creation more the times over the 6500xt lol I would rather say go 3050 over either 1 of these if they can dish out the extra $200 or bucks, but then again the market still sucks and any recommendation is futile while a GTX1660 super starts at around $450...... What a world what a world, as always great video brother.
I have an old k600 in my server, I was actually quite surprised that how well it can actually game for a low profile 1 GB Quadro card.
That 80 watts of power usage really shows they shoulda made it 75 and run off pcie power alone.
I'm planning on getting this gpu cause my current one is a rx560 with 2gb of vram and this seems like the only decent gpu rn worth it for below $300
Absolutely, that's something reviewers tend to forget, the RX 6500 XT is the ONLY gaming card (with the RX 6400) below 200$.
They all say "get the 6600, it's a much better deal", sure, but the 6600 is also 1/3 more expensive at the very least.
Actually on Amazon Germany you can find a brand new RX 6500 XT for as low as €170, so it's half the price of a 6600. Sure, the 6600 is nearly twice as powerful, but it's also twice the price.
Everyone is so hard on the 6500XT, but AMD brought us exactly what we needed and wanted in the market. A budget oriented GPU that is actually available.
Spot on. People say the MSRP is too high, but at least you can get one at MSRP, unlike just about every other card out there.
Loving the videos buddy, your sarcasm has me in stitches :-) keep up the great work fella
So the encoder thing, from what I've read it is based on a laptop GPU and the encoder aspect is supposed to be taken o by the integrated graphics of the laptop. That's why I really hate this card. If you put it in a desktop you're going to need to replace it, I can't remember the name of the new encoding that yt, and other sites are going to be adopting but this card does not support it and your out of luck
AV1/VP9
My system doesn't have AV1 decoding in hardware, but my i7-8700 was capable enough to do 1080p 60fps in software for AV1.
It's of course a lot less efficient, so not suited for mobile devices.
No you're really not going to "need" to replace it. All modern CPUs can do video encoding and decoding very well.
It is a good card for the price I have one in an HP with a 285watt PSU and it runs great. I run the upscale and get 120fps on Apex legends. I do not get why everyone is tearing this card apart so what if you cant take a screen shot. Nothing touches this card in the price range.
The 6500 XT doesn't have an encoder in it because it was never built to have one. It's a repurposed laptop chip slapped onto a discrete PCB to try and alleviate some of the GPU shortages. The 5300, in comparison, does have an encoder because it's a desktop GPU design.
Seriously, for all of the 6500XT's woes, all the shit it gets is from people using it outside of its intended scope. It's a low-end 1080p card, use it as such and it's fine. This video literally proves that to be the case.
"To try and alleviate some of the GPU shortages"....
Try and alleviate shit bro... they put it out because they know people are desperate and will grab anything they can, even if is shit... so they gave them shit...
If they realy cared about alleviating gpu shortages and doing right for the custoer, they would have put out the 5300 for 150 dlls or so.... They selling you a castrated gpu instead for near the double.... Is all about milking those poor bastards that can't just wait a little longer for the market to stabilize.
@@josejuanandrade4439 yeah, they could've done minor updates to the rx 5300 and release it as the 6300 or something like that.

It's okay so long as you're not that budget gamer that is still on PCIe 3.0 to save money, which is quite a bunch of budget gamers... It's pretty flawed for its intended purpose if you ask me. Buying budget right now is just asking for going *OVER* budget...

As i understand it 6500xt is a mobile chip. thats why it uses 4x pci lanes and only has two video outs. And no media encoder. Thats because amd would use the onbourd gfx card and its media encoder for capture. That way they can save moneys on the GPU wafers. Then they decided oh we have a load of these left over lets make a desktop gpu out of it. Cheers for the grate videos.
Dawid gives me a burst of serotonin every time he uploads
Thanks Dawid 😁
Still limping along with my GTX 970 with 1 dodgy fan that makes a racket over 40% speed. Unfortunately I hardly play any demanding games so I am good until the card dies or the prices return to MSRP or lower on sale.
A game thats missing from everyones benchmarks is Days Gone. Its a pretty heavy game that was ported from PS4 made by Sony and Bend Studio. Of you can run that at 1080p medium/high graphics, u can run most games in the world. Its the ultimate test for gpus and cpus. U also need a good ssd and dual channel 16 GB Ram to play it nicely. Like 8 GB is minimum but 16 GB is actually what u need for it. So its the ultimate test for all parts of the pc: Ram, cpu, gpu, ssd (as it takes long to load)
Hey dawid.... Big fan of your channel and way you deliver the content... May I know the software u use to monitor CPU and GPU temps and usage... Would be much appreciated
MSI afterburner :) thanks for watching!
I’m guessing the name of this video might change soon lol
Conclusion: the 6500XT can run games fairly well. Why the hate?
I got a Nvidia t400 for 180 cad tax included in that number
I would say that the T600 appears to have less DCP latency issues (in my experience) than the Radeon Pro 3100 I had previous. Running it in a Audio workstation (Ableton Live), smooth as silk and the HDMI audio doesn't interfere with my ASIO drivers. The 3100 had consistent spikes that were a bloody nightmare, and really didn't like my multi monitor setup. The T600 may not be the option for games, but it's definitely a discrete option for none graphical based systems.
In terms of not including the encoder, around the time of the release of the 6500XT I recall hearing it was originally intended to be a mobile laptop silicon. Likely the entire reason they omitted it. I own a laptop with the 6800M and even running similar to a desktop 6700XT, there's no encode capability. 🙂
The 6500XT was designed to be a laptop GPU which would have an encoder built in on the onboard video. So cost cutting, really.
Quite the oversight when having to use it on a discrete card.
yowdy, good vid as always, could you mabye test minecraft with shaders next time? I would be intrested to see the results
Apparently even at this price and gimped specs, AMD is barely making a profit on the 6500 XT. Supply chain issues affect manufacturers as well.

nVidia Quadro T600: "Only 3 left in stock - order soon."
radeon RX 6500 XT: In stock. Limit 24 *per customer* .
"running like they just had a colonoscopy" I'm gonna use that insult irl
No screen-capture? Well, whoop-de-fuck. Never used screen-capture in 30 years using PCs, don't expect to do so over the next 30. Methinks Dawid is being a little precious.
:'D he's my precious...
Atleast this GPU started the pcie gen 3 vs gen 4 comparison debates. Everyone's milking that content.
This card (ASUS equivalent) is on sale right now at Canada Computers for CAD $149.99, which us about US $110. Seems like a reasonable price considering 3050s are still well over CAD $300
Always a good laugh on this channel I love this guy's humour! You deserve more subs!
Bomb videos and good content. A channel I can escape to that isn’t talking artisan
right? it's like everyone is jumping on that bandwagon...
Subbed! Thank you for including Doom Eternal, it is by far the best for testing graphic cards and the subsystem, but all the others gave up on it, so i do not watch them anymore ! 😃
The 6500XT should be happy with any press it gets.
Weirdly in the UK you can buy any current GPU you want with loads in stock still well above the MRSP.
That top gear influence at times is lovely :)
Biggest problem with this GPU imo is that it's sure to nosedive in price as GPU apocalypse nears it's end. The lack of a video encoder sucks, but if this becomes a sub 100 GPU in the future then it might become interesting for budget gamers.
The biggest advantage to the 6500 XT is having Radeon Super Resolution support. Upscaling from 900p to 1080p gives you a pretty good performance boost and adjusting the sharpening enough actually makes the game actually looks sharper. It's still a bad graphics card but you can make it less bad and it's way better than what Nvidia is offering at the same price range if you don't care about hardware encoding or can use cpu encoding.
That is kinda of an unfair comparison since the Quadro series are not meant for gaming. They are professional cards and you are paying for that, sometimes more than double when compared to an equivalent GPU. These cards are meant for tools like AutoCAD and such and they usually have higher precision as well. Still entertaining to watch, though :-)
This is my favorite pc channel. I know i will never build a pc or buy a pc but it’s really interesting 😅
It's ridiculous that a year old card that launched at a lower price has more features and the same performance, with lower power draw. Just goes to show how depressing the 6500 XT really is.
I personally think that if someone have a pcie 4.0 don’t need the 4gb (Btw i don’t understand amd they could have made it like 6gb) this could be a very cheap option for good fps, I can find them for like 250-275$CAD on marketplace sometimes. I think that this card is very underrated (except the fact that it’s 4gb)
I took one lesson from this.
Don't just a graphics card by its cooler.
I was about to buy a PC with a Ryzen 7 3700X and the RX 6500XT till I realised, now I have a Ryzen 5 5600G and im getting an RTX 30 series GPU next year when prices are hopefully cheaper. Currently I don't have a GPU but at least everything in my PC is future proof.
hey dawid, never change the title ok?
Great video man as always!!
