AFOX should be avoided at all costs. Not too long ago they were selling "brand new" RX 580 cards that were in fact using salvaged RX 570D dies from used miner cards, resulting in lower performance and life expectancy. The company tried to rectify the issue with TecLab, the UA-cam channel that found out about the scam, and not only did they lie about their card being a "fluke" but continued selling their RX 580 line up using the same deceptive tactics. By purchasing another card by them, even if it meets the expectations, you are supporting the idea that they can get away with more scams with their products.
Literally every GPU manufacturer has been in hot water over one issue or another. If we all took every single one of them at face value, we'd have literally nothing to buy. I personally don't care what they did. If my GPU is fine - it's fine. If it's not - i'll return it. I mean i'm not saying it's not bad, i'm just saying that I personally don't care lol
@@SirZanZa the problem is they took a USED chip from the 470 and put it in the 580, a chip that you could see by the burnt color that was used, in addition the worse performance than a normal 580
Lembro desse problema relatado pelo teclab... chips totalmente usados...escurecidos...sendo vendidos como novos. I remember this problem... used chips...burnt...sold as brand new.
@@SirZanZa Bro, they sold burnt chips as brand new...was a real deal. Shame on them. Teclad did a livestream, no cuts... just take one brand new, out of the box and crack it open... booooom... burnt chip sold as brand new...crazy thing.
Back in 2020 I got my first gaming PC, or what was advertised as a Gaming PC. I quickly found out that without a GPU it wasn't much of a gaming machine at all. I went out and managed to get a GPU for £90, it was an Afox Nvidia GeForce 750ti 2gb, and back then it was awesome. I never had any issues with it whatsoever, and it was a sad day taking it out even though I was getting an upgrade.
@@mrbobgamingmemes9558 you can still game on GPUs older than the 750 ti they just suffer from lack of driver support. You can still get a decent cs go, GTA V and older game experience from fermi cards. On a 680 id still probably play all the games I like except 2042 obviously.
Honestly hope they start making more plan and simple graphics cards, never really understood the craze with rgb in almost everything gaming nowadays all I want is a few lights telling me my pc is on and a nice simple keyboard and mouse that isnt cheap
You could add Resident Evil 2, 3 and 7 to your tests since the new versions with ray-tracing are out, they never mentioned it but it also adds FSR to all those games as well so even though they require DX12 they'll run even better on lower-end hardware now.
Actually nope. Since it's now a DX12 only game. the Nvidia 700 series and Radeon 200 series are no longer supported. It's now a GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon™ RX 460 minimum to run those games. I welcome the Raytracing update but forcing everyone to run it on DX11 only was just stupid.
@@conyo985 Those are still fairly old GPUs, plus I'm more interested in how stuff like the 3000G/GTX 1650/RX 6500 XT runs it now. Plus the 700-series and 200-series are both out of support
Not just Afox, there’s also Varro and Vurrion. For now i’m using Vurrion H81m and there’s a Nvme slot on it, so far there’s no issue on the motherboard. My friend is using Vurrion’s Gtx1060, it’s been 2 months and we didn’t found any issue yet. I had a feeling that some of their product is just a recycled stuff.
@@maxheadroom22and26 of course they’re chinese brands, I live in Indonesia where these brands are scattered everywhere in North Jakarta. Hey a H81 with Nvme slot for US$52, that’s not a bad deal considering that i’m on a tight budget for now.
@jordan_2806 di Box nya sih ada bahasa kita juga, kepo sih sebenernya. Kalo memang buatan lokal gila bet harga mobo sama psunya reasonable parah. VGA sih overprice semua apalagi keliatannya itu chipnya mungkin bekas kali buat vganya kaya Afox dulu wkwkwk
Good review the 6500 XT does OK for a LT GPU in a DT. It is selling well in spite of POPTech Tubers insistences in puting them in systems the card was never designed for.anf with nrw AAA titles mostly and without SAM.
Can't really see any of their cards online apart from R9 370 4gb cards... Wonder if they got hold of some old stock for these as that card was originally released in 2015, and the choice to add 4gb seems an odd one. Anywhere else in the UK they peddle their wares? Also as a side I notice you've been looking very healthy lately, (been watching your vids for 3-4 years now) quite handsome I dare say. 😉 Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!
very few games do it right, most just blur the entire screen in the direction of movement (well opposite) but some games like Doom Eternal have proper per object motion blur (meaning each object get it's own blur depending on the movement relative to the camera) if it's done well it looks cool and can actually give the player more information. but yeah as a general rule it's best to just turn it off
@2 Corinthians 4:7-11 It was Burnout. Another EA racing game, but Burnout really went nuts with the motion blur, and predates NfS Undergound by a couple of years.
It was originally implemented on consoles to hide low framerate and frame pacing, along later came those God awful TAA and DOF effects that also became a standard
AFOX is a well-known brand in my country for low-end Nvidia GPUs. i had gt 630 before and it was running fine. but here's something interesting, some AFOX GT 730 (green sticker) are considered fake on GPU-Z while others (red-silver sticker) are genuine.
When you were setting this up in the beginning, reminding us of the previous AFOX card you reviews, I was hopeful that they had found a way to add more VRAM to this card, too. It would be interesting to see how much getting rid of the 4GB limitation would help.
That cooler design with the machined aluminum block is a very cheap way of making a heatsink and it's nice to see some manufacturer using those on these entry-low end gpu's because practically speaking a 6500xt doesn't pull any power. It's a waste of money to get a 6500xt with those big heatsinks with fine fins and a ton of heatpipes and all that mass. If the afox model is like 10-15 dollars cheaper, it is a better deal than the fancy cooler cards.
@@mantosh56 Perhaps I should rephrase - I don't care if a small non-mainstream company makes the hardware, as long as it is legit not a fake brand name made in China garbage, and the price is right, I will buy.
@@Noiconnotag this manufacturer is far from reliable. Number of videos with problems with their cards. I would avoid them. some other 'less popular' would be a better choice.
Never heard of AFOX and I guess is good that this isn't in the U.S. lol I have only seen that brand on this channel and I believe this your second or so video on this brand.
@@RardyGuy Yes the 11400f does support pcie 4.0 but only with a z590 MB If I remember correctly. I didn't think he would be running an i5 with a z590 board.
I think it's more realistic. People who are buying a sub $200 card, probably won't have the newest CPU/Mobo. I stuck the 6500XT in a I7 4790. The PCI-E 3.0 lanes aren't a problem, I still get 80+ FPS in most games with med to high settings.
While testing games I have often seen the FPS crossing 100, yet the settings are on "medium". So why is it not set on "high"? Take the case of FH5 at 6:41
Great Brand review RGHD! Gonna share my experience. As far as I know, AFOX is a new comer brand here in my country, Philippines. I bought one for my client to speed up here 2nd gen i5 for her basic browsing, documents and minor photo editing. For 2 years, that brand new AFOX GT 240 1GB DDR3 64 BIT is still fine. Maybe it's a good brand, only time will tell for me to trust them for a high end one.
Seeing 3000GOMG on plate in Forza 4 is always heartwarming reminder of why I'm here initially =) Thanks for the content, keep it up man - you need to make more such review (as part #1 of this video) and you may get something for review from Colorful or KFA2 soon!
the 750 non-ti are still nice in 2022, the 750Ti does not really fare well tho... due its being Maxwell 1.0 which mean it doesnt really support DirectX12 FL 12_0... sadly there is not much 750 non Ti available and i think 6500 XT are decent choice when GPU is pretty scarce these days...
You should get a power meter (Kill-a-watt or equivalent) and start posting also power consumption of those cards. Many users would benefit from this info :)
are you sure about the "high graphics settings in forza is hindered by the vram" statement cuz im able to run it perfectly fine on high, even on ultra (but the performance is unstable) on a 1650ti
Most likely memory bandwidth. Anything < RX 6600 from AMD sucks badly at that, if only they sold an 8gb VRAM version that might've avoided it from being terrible compared to the last gen RX 5500XT...
@@MLWJ1993 AMD once said 4gb was not enough for gaming Well I guess they were right Honestly they could have easily given it 6Gbs of ram and increased the size of the memory bandwidth and it'd still have issues due to the nature of it seemingly being mobile gpu based.
there aer too many people out there hating this card but its perfect for someone with a small budget. you can play everything in 1080p with at least 60 fps.
I really did not know that AFOX was a brand that had all this hardware! Maybe it is a great budget option too, depending on which country your from. Nice vid bw! Keep up the hard work
Man, I used to watch your videos when you had less than 10k subs, I remembered your channel and I searched for like 3 weeks to find it now. I am glad your channel grew so much. Keep it up.
Hey man. Do you mind upscaling 1080p videos to 1440p? Some parts of this video, like terrain in FH5 look so compressed that it's basically centimeters of solid color. In any case, have a nice day and keep doing what you're doing ✌
My 980Ti is nearly 8 years old and yet still faster than this card... It also features a full complement of encoders, Has no artificial overclocking limits, Sells for a similar price if not cheaper, Features 6GB instead of 4GB of VRAM, Has 3 DP 1 HDMI and 1 DVI output compared to the single HDMI and DP on the 6500xt, The 980Ti does not suffer from interface bottlenecking in Pcie 2.0 (or 3.0 for that matter) motherboards,. I'm sorry but please just save you money and your time, just avoid the 6500xt altogether. Edit: According to Techpowerup the card is officially 8 years old as of 13 days ago... happy bday 980Ti?
I agree, provided one is prepared to redo thermal paste and pads - these things are very much due for them. And of course there’s always the risk of buying something near or at the end of its life due to overvolting, mining, etc
only 980Ti's problem is high power consumption, but it's cheap so that's fine. And the cheapest new GPU worth buying is an RX6600, it's on Amazon's new $260, and it's slightly better than *RTX 2070* .
Fun fact, Michael A. Fox is the birth name for Michael J. Fox and became a legend for his portrayal of Marty McFly in Back to the Future. (This comment relation to the video is at the same level as my interest in this Chinese brand video card)
AFOX build when? Looks like they make enough things to put together a full system. I am intrigued. I know doing a full build isn't really your deal though. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Had an AFOX GTX 750Ti for a year when the mining craze was up high. Honestly it served its purpose and more. Lasted like 3 years before giving artifacts and crashes. AFOX in my book is just that one company who focuses on budget cards and honestly, I wouldn't mind if they use any shady techniques to lower their costs, just as long as they always provide warranty, which they do.
if you're getting a 6500xt it needs to be the absolute cheapest one available. paying more for a pretty cooler at that performance level is INSANE. and thats why cards like this are great.
Just bought a 6500XT. Very happy with it. Only thing it lacks is 8gb ram. But for 189usd it's less than half of what a 3050 goes for around here (449usd) and works decent. I am just waiting for prices to go down even further, so the 6500 was a good enough card to use for the next few months until i upgrade to something better. (Wanted a 6700XT, but not with that pricing, or a 3060 12GB)
AFOX is more popular in Developing Markets. If you live in a Third World country, consider the cards, depending on the reliability and after-sales support of the reseller. They aren't bad cards, just the most reference and barebones of products.
I probably wouldn't suggest the 6500 but the card does look nice and it does 1080p gaming well. The price points are just so weird right now that you can get a way better card for the same price or just a little more. Also that fan shroud looks very simple and user friendly to take off. 2 screws on either side. Better than the nightmare that MSI branded cards tend to be. I've had to cut fan wires because the shroud on Armor cards are design flawed. Either have to cut the wires or break the shroud. Fans were broken anyway but still. That's a big plus if AFOX cards are easy to disassemble.
I recently watched a zWormz Gaming video testing an RX 6600 XT from this brand and he said that it seemed like the card was running too warm for what it was. The card itself looked a little cheaply designed and had a plastic backplate. Maybe it was just an anomaly but I myself don't plan on getting any GPU from them when I upgrade in the future.
The temp looks fine.I am thinking of buying a 6500xt(don't have a pcie4 system).Wish this model was available here coz the premium brands are a little expensive
I bought an AFOX RX580 4GB secondhand a year ago use it for mining and still fine except for the one fan, little bit wobble at medium to high speed. Other thing that I bought from afox is an SSD, it still work fine from 2016.
You could oc further using morepowa tool. You could bump the total tdp up past factory and even raise the clock caps. This is because amd sets all limits through the registry.
@@RandomGaminginHD just do research because when you add wattage to the registry you also have to add amps too. It adds up quick but you should be fine as long as you dont push it too far since you will probably be using a 8 pin connector. So id max the card out at around 200 to 220 watts. Rest is pretty much explainable with max clocks and everything which is what you will need to increase to push clocks further than the stock oc limits that are already in place. I personally havent played around with the clock limits since my 6900xt is on air. I plan to play around a little more as soon as a i custom loop but i think itd definitely be an interesting video to push the 6500xt to its limits with morepowa tool.
The 6500 is a legitimate good option for really low end nowadays, since the 3050 is still so high in price you might as well buy a 6600, which is cheaper. If possible, I believe if AFOX, or any partner for that matter, could increase the Vram to 8gigs, or maybe even 6 instead of 4 it would be an extremely high value card.
AFOX should be avoided at all costs. Not too long ago they were selling "brand new" RX 580 cards that were in fact using salvaged RX 570D dies from used miner cards, resulting in lower performance and life expectancy.

I am glad your channel grew so much. Keep it up.
Afox? No.
my 1st gpu back then was an Afox 2gb GT 520...
Thats actually a nice little gpu.
Hey man. Do you mind upscaling 1080p videos to 1440p? Some parts of this video, like terrain in FH5 look so compressed that it's basically centimeters of solid color.
In any case, have a nice day and keep doing what you're doing ✌
My 980Ti is nearly 8 years old and yet still faster than this card... It also features a full complement of encoders, Has no artificial overclocking limits, Sells for a similar price if not cheaper, Features 6GB instead of 4GB of VRAM, Has 3 DP 1 HDMI and 1 DVI output compared to the single HDMI and DP on the 6500xt, The 980Ti does not suffer from interface bottlenecking in Pcie 2.0 (or 3.0 for that matter) motherboards,. I'm sorry but please just save you money and your time, just avoid the 6500xt altogether.
Edit: According to Techpowerup the card is officially 8 years old as of 13 days ago... happy bday 980Ti?
I agree, provided one is prepared to redo thermal paste and pads - these things are very much due for them. And of course there’s always the risk of buying something near or at the end of its life due to overvolting, mining, etc
only 980Ti's problem is high power consumption, but it's cheap so that's fine. And the cheapest new GPU worth buying is an RX6600, it's on Amazon's new $260, and it's slightly better than *RTX 2070* .
Fun fact, Michael A. Fox is the birth name for Michael J. Fox and became a legend for his portrayal of Marty McFly in Back to the Future.
(This comment relation to the video is at the same level as my interest in this Chinese brand video card)
AFOX build when? Looks like they make enough things to put together a full system. I am intrigued. I know doing a full build isn't really your deal though. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Had an AFOX GTX 750Ti for a year when the mining craze was up high. Honestly it served its purpose and more. Lasted like 3 years before giving artifacts and crashes. AFOX in my book is just that one company who focuses on budget cards and honestly, I wouldn't mind if they use any shady techniques to lower their costs, just as long as they always provide warranty, which they do.
been a few years since i heard of afox
Now that is a beautiful rose bush and the card design is nice but that GTX 750... Damn, I love how metal it looks.
if you're getting a 6500xt it needs to be the absolute cheapest one available. paying more for a pretty cooler at that performance level is INSANE. and thats why cards like this are great.
great video, they need to make this low profile version for a cheap system
This is a company I have literally never heard of, seems like there are more and more card manufacturers lately
Just bought a 6500XT. Very happy with it. Only thing it lacks is 8gb ram. But for 189usd it's less than half of what a 3050 goes for around here (449usd) and works decent. I am just waiting for prices to go down even further, so the 6500 was a good enough card to use for the next few months until i upgrade to something better.
(Wanted a 6700XT, but not with that pricing, or a 3060 12GB)
Very nice bro.
Those cards are really common were I live, and almost everyone that understand something about computer hates them.
Hello everyone and welcome to another video! 😎
AFOX is more popular in Developing Markets. If you live in a Third World country, consider the cards, depending on the reliability and after-sales support of the reseller. They aren't bad cards, just the most reference and barebones of products.
Yes
I probably wouldn't suggest the 6500 but the card does look nice and it does 1080p gaming well. The price points are just so weird right now that you can get a way better card for the same price or just a little more. Also that fan shroud looks very simple and user friendly to take off. 2 screws on either side. Better than the nightmare that MSI branded cards tend to be. I've had to cut fan wires because the shroud on Armor cards are design flawed. Either have to cut the wires or break the shroud. Fans were broken anyway but still. That's a big plus if AFOX cards are easy to disassemble.
What are the chances I find another amazing video that was posted a minute ago?
I recently watched a zWormz Gaming video testing an RX 6600 XT from this brand and he said that it seemed like the card was running too warm for what it was. The card itself looked a little cheaply designed and had a plastic backplate. Maybe it was just an anomaly but I myself don't plan on getting any GPU from them when I upgrade in the future.
It looks like the bulk of their catalogue is salvage/harvest/legacy products. Which i think is perfectly fine for the most part.
The temp looks fine.I am thinking of buying a 6500xt(don't have a pcie4 system).Wish this model was available here coz the premium brands are a little expensive
been recently playing GUN and i somehow DO enjoy underrated movies and games but i just needed the right things on PC to fully play it
Not too shabby.
At some point you got to take your wins where you can. Maybe in a few months, better cards will come down another 15-50$.
Agreed
I like how at someone is still doing fallout 4 tests. It may be older game but bloody laggy from time to time. Especially with visual quality mods.
I bought an AFOX RX580 4GB secondhand a year ago use it for mining and still fine except for the one fan, little bit wobble at medium to high speed.
Other thing that I bought from afox is an SSD, it still work fine from 2016.
I do have an old LGA 755 mATX motherboard by AFOX here, which is where I first heard of them.
Afox is kinda popular here locally. They even have Brand New AFOX GTX 750ti 4GBs in stock
You are a BF5 God for sure
Hey. Beautiful roses btw.
You could oc further using morepowa tool. You could bump the total tdp up past factory and even raise the clock caps. This is because amd sets all limits through the registry.
I’ll give it a go!
@@RandomGaminginHD just do research because when you add wattage to the registry you also have to add amps too. It adds up quick but you should be fine as long as you dont push it too far since you will probably be using a 8 pin connector. So id max the card out at around 200 to 220 watts. Rest is pretty much explainable with max clocks and everything which is what you will need to increase to push clocks further than the stock oc limits that are already in place. I personally havent played around with the clock limits since my 6900xt is on air. I plan to play around a little more as soon as a i custom loop but i think itd definitely be an interesting video to push the 6500xt to its limits with morepowa tool.
Just watched another reviewer in Portugal that said it reached almost 100 degrees. And that was without an OC. Maybe a difference in climate and case.
I bought an AFOX 1050Ti recently and I couldn't fault it. Seems to be a viable brand and extra competition can only help with prices.
i bought a 1030 from them, thinking to upgrade to a 1060 also afox, have you had any issues yet?
@@elrufino7066 I sold it in a PC about 6 Months ago. Haven't heard from them since, so I guess it's still working fine.
The 6500 is a legitimate good option for really low end nowadays, since the 3050 is still so high in price you might as well buy a 6600, which is cheaper.
If possible, I believe if AFOX, or any partner for that matter, could increase the Vram to 8gigs, or maybe even 6 instead of 4 it would be an extremely high value card.
