I guess the only problem with it now is that if you skip a couple pizza nights and just make yourself some PB&J’s instead, you can afford an RX 6600 instead.
@@juanma26m Well, it depends where in the 3rd world you live, here the 6600 is cheaper than the 6500xt for some ufatomable reason... But to be honest, if it works for your then it is ok, not all GPUs have to run CP2077 at 4k Psycho Ray tracing at 120 fps to be good, some of us like/can only afford to play at 1080p and as long as the fps is high enough and the experience is smooth enought then it is ok. Still rocking the RX 580 after 6 years!
@@juanma26m yeah in singapore i can eat for 40 dollars a month if i really wanted too (NOT A POOR COUNTRY IN THE SLIGHTEST) but i can eat for 40 bucks if i really wanted too
as a rx 6500xt user I agree everything this man said. I live in russia and rx 6500xt costs here 250 bucks, with this price this gpu is best choice, especially with pcie 4.0
Now in 2024 the 2 yrs development of drivers prooved this card is a best pocket friendly contender. I had many cards (RTX 4060 as well, loved it) but this rx 6500 xt is no doubt the best for the bucks (especially 2nd hand) with very playable FPS!
In Australia the RX 6600 can currently be had for $290-$320 AUD. The RX 6500 XT seems to be hovering between $250-$280 AUD. I think the RX 6500 XT is a great option for those who live in an area where the price difference isn't as close as this. I ended up just capping my RX 6600 at 120 fps because all I play is singleplayer @ 1080p and it handles everything great.
I recently upgraded my GT 1030. I shopped for used cards from reputable sellers and the 5600 xt and the 6500 xt were right about the same price. I opted for the 5600 xt because it outperforms the the 6500 xt by a large margin. I do see the value some people find in purchasing new, and the 6500 xt can absolutely game at 1080p.
Thank you Mr. Dweeb for your input. I also thought it was an okay GPU at launch and said so. Got a lot of grief for it. But it seems to have redeemed itself.
The problem with this card isn't how it performs on a modern platform with PCIE gen4 or 5. It's about how it would perform on a budget system which more than likely had/has PCIE 3. I would formally request that you tested again with a PCI gen 3 system please
@@floppydisk4500even then you'd need a 11th gen system or 500 series from AMD in order to not cripple its performance. Also for 30-40 more ya could get the 5700xt which doubles the performance. If cost isn't the issue and size/pcie cable is the restraint. then the 2060 makes more sense ($80 more though) and at this point either way it's second hand.
@@Dracossaint I'm using the predecessor the 5500 4 gigabyte, on a Gen. 3 system and I'm really still quite satisfied, I could afford a system that they had Gen. 4 compatibility I would use it, but I'm still quite satisfied with what I have for now, like I said elsewhere, I certainly not going to upgrading to 6500, but there is certainly a reason for this to exist in the 2024, I'm not amazed with the fact that it only has four lanes, but I am aware that it exists. I know the bottle neck is there.
@@floppydisk4500 That card's probably fine on only 4 lanes of pcie 3 really. Also keep in mind I ain't trying to shame anyone or tell ya to upgrade, it's just their much better value to be had then the 6500xt. If you're happy, that's all that really matters man.
@@Dracossaint and I'm saying that at 120 to $150 brand new, because of warranty does matter to people, you don't have many better options. They are still selling GT 1030s for $100, they're selling 1650 for 160 to $170 this will outperform all of that. Even on Gen 3 lanes of PCIe. And it's going to pair decently with almost any CPU that you can afford brand new around 120, including the ryzen 5500, and that supports PCIe 4.0 on the right motherboard. With careful part selection, this isn't the worst GPU ever released. It attains playable performance in most games that people want to play today, while there are better options, the Intel Arc a580 kicks ass at 160 to 190, there are definitely better options including the 2060/ext. if you were willing to go used. On the new market, there's nothing that really compares right now.
I'd like to point out that other than the bad reviews, the major reason it was never scalped is because Ethereum miners couldn't use it - the DAG was over 4 GB already so you would be unable to mine ETH on this card. You could mine other alt-coins but the profitability just wasn't there. For 1080p gaming, I play quite a few games some of which are badly optimized, it works fine ... the only game I can't really play with it is Star Citizen.
I love comparing gpu’s that are relatively cheap and newer to the gtx 1080. That’s still a solid card for 1080p and some older 1440p gaming (like anything released at the time of the 1080 and before it does amazing at 1440p). A lot of cards that are like $250ish on a sale beat out the 1080
I have both RX 6500 XT and Rx 6600 installed in two different machines and I mostly play games at 1080p medium setting locked 60 fps through MSI Afterburner Rever Tuner on my RX 6500 XT and don't face any issues playing old and relatively modern games from year 2009 to 2018. Some of the modern games as you have mentioned have some stuttering issues but since RX 6500 XT draws so less power you can't just complain and its not game breaking. *** I am very Interested in a video comparing both RX 6500 XT and RX 6600 ***. I will be eagerly waiting for your next video. Thank you so much for this video and I enjoyed it a lot.
They're so rare in the west, it's almost a China exclusive at this point Given how a 128 bit bus is already an issue, I can imagine 8gb on a 64 bit bus ain't that great
I bought it and currently it supplies me very well I was looking for a cheap computer that works well now and I saw in these 7 months that I have it that it is super cold around 60° and I also use an Atlhon 3000g with it and 16 GB RAM, it works very well processor is very cold and the video card is also cold and another advantage low consumption, and all this allied: low consumption, cold temperature, and a low price, for me it is a great advantage
I have also tested the RX 6500 xt with Athlon 3000G and it works really well and can play all day long and the total power draw from the wall is under 115W to 130W which is surprising.
I'm still in the hate it club. When it came out, it was a mobile chip slapped on a pcb, 2 video outs, no encoder, barely faster than rx 480 from 2016, if I recall well even higher msrp, but with ridiculously high street price. It felt insulting. Today, as far as I know, 6600 has better price to performance. 5500xt is faster, especially on older systems, while being quite a bit cheaper used. So it deserves t all the hate as far as I'm concerned. If a product makes me uninterested in the market I love, it's a bad product. Too bad those are prevalent now. There's even a rumour floating around nVidia is preventing manufacturers from making Intel cards. If true, I predict I'll be able to keep my 3080 for the next 10 years, as the innovation is stifled. Or until drivers are nerfed.
Great video as usual! At this price, I completely see your point about this gpu. If someone wants a new gpu with a warranty and doesn't have much money then this would be okay. Apart from the more expensive 6600 there is also the previous gen 5500xt to consider, although you probably can only get that 2nd hand now but it also has an 8gb variant so I would go for that instead. You should do a video comparing all three of those. 😉
It's a bad video. He tested the card on a PCIe 4.0 system here, not a PCIe 3.0 one. A lot of budget gamers are on older PCs that do not support 4.0, which can cripple the 6500 XT or 6400 in some games. Almost everyone else did test it in their full suite of games. He only provided a few on the original review. His point is that 4.0 vs 3.0 should only be about 3%, which is true for full x16 or x8 cards. But in reality, 6500 XT by virtue of being x4, can get hit up to 50%. When you are already limited by budget, it's completely unacceptable to get gimped even more, through no fault of your own. Look at it this way. Are you okay to spending 50% more to get 100% more performance? What about 15%? That's the difference between $120 6500 XT to $180 6600. The cheapest budget build with a 12100F is about $440 with 6500XT, and $500 with 6600. ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/L7jwwc The 6600 will not only provide you with a better experience, it will do so for longer, meaning your money goes further. 6500 XT was always a bad value, and it always will be until it drops to a point where 6600 doesn't completely destroy it in price/performance. Dweeb being a contrarian doesn't mean he's right. It's giving out poor advice for people that can ill afford said advice.
@@KL-sd2bw Totally disagree. I use rx 6500 xt on a pci-e gen 3 and that is the difference dude.. around 3-5% at best.. like who gives a flying fk about that. Don't talk if you don't own the card please. I got mine for 130$ and has a 3 years waranty.. where the fk you get that deal elsewhere? Stop hating, people are not here to find out cards over their budget, cause i can f*king disagree with your stupid a** 6600 option and tell you that you can add 70$ more and get a RX 6700 and keep adding more and more options that adds more and more money .. like c'mon.. your comment intended to be smart but it's just too dumb tbh.
Glad uploaded this video jusr 2 days ago, cuz I literally just reserved one for $129 at Microcenter open box! Today is the last day for me to pick it up, or it goes back on the shelf. New, this card is still going for 150-160 like you showed. Still the cheapest card using only a single 6-pin PCIe connector. Why am I so damn specific about what I'm looking for? Because I just saved an HP Tower Workstation Z240 from being tossed. It's a Skylake Core i7-6700 with 48GB RAM and 2x 256GB SSD (one NVME, one Samsung 850 EVO SATA), and the PSU is a proprietary one that doesn't use the standard 24-pin ATX connector for the motherboard so I couldn't replace it. It also only have a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. That really limited me. I wanted to keep it as "stock" as possible so i wasn't about do anything weird like replace the PSU and use an adapter (they exist but it triggers a PSU fan warning). Besides, it's a pet project of mine to put Debian 12 on it and this is the first AMD GPU I'm using with Linux so I want to see what the experience is like compared to dealing with nVidia drivers on Linux. Is it as easy as everyone says? I'll find out soon! I might even make a video about it...
Just upgraded from a gt 1030 to a used 5600 xt I am super stoked with the performance I got for 100 bucks. Finally feel like waiting out the GPU apocalypse was worth it.
@thecouchtripper If he did a video with 6600 vs 6500XT, it would completely destroy his point of it being a good purchase. The 6600 was at $250 CAD for a couple of months, which is about $180-190. That's a 2x increase in performance and VRAM for about 50% increase in price. Not to mention it's even more increase in performance if his system wasn't capable of at least PCIe 4.0. For a budget card, they'll often be used in older machines not supporting PCIe 4.0. PCIe 3.0 basically cripples 6500 XT/6400 at certain games like Doom, Resident Evil Village (nearly 50% performance hit). The encoders might not matter to everyone, but if someone wants to stream, the cut means they need to depend on their iGPU if they have one.
the reason why the RX 6400 might be more expensive is because it's a Low Profile GPU maybe? i personally plan to make a SFF PC in the near future so LP GPU is a necessity for that, which might explain the price difference since they're both on the lower end of "modern GPU"s power wise so the physical size might be the reason
Back to 2022, i'm building a PC with low budget, but i want it to be future proof so i can upgrade it later. Started with 5600G + asrock b550m pro 4. About 2 months later i decided to buy RX 6500xt because its cheap and i already have pcie 4.0 in my b550m. But since the vega 7 will be useless and 5600G is still using pcie 3.0 i also change my cpu to 5600x. All games that i play now runnings so smooth, few games that i played are lies of pi, sekiro, forza 4, metro last light, and i got 300-350 fps in valorant. This gpu is really good for pure performance. My next upgrade plan is 6700xt, but for now i'm more than happy with 6500xt.
I'm looking at the 6500 xt not for gaming, but for media. We just got a 75" tv that does 120hz, and my old card can only do 24hz at 4k, so its time to upgrade. As someone who doesn't even do gaming, there's very few options for affordable cards. This is one of them. it has HDMI 2.1 so I won't have to use a display port adapter, and it should work fine for just video playback duties. Where did the all in wonder go when you need it the most!!
If only it had 6 gb of vram. I think it having 4gb of vram is worse than being pcie 4.0 which looking at test results was overexaggerated. But at 4 gb people who use the rx 570 GTX 1650 or 1050 ti will have no reason to upgrade and these are among the most common cards.
I have one, I couldn't get a decent gpu for my grand daughters PC at a normal price when these launched, I got her this until prices dropped, once that happened I got her a 3060Ti and took this one, I am using it as we speak and it plays what I need just fine, I have the XFX version. And....bonus it runs really cool. usually doesn't break 55c. Granted I only play WoW, SC2 and some older steam games. I paid $179 for it when I got it, but at that time it was cheap!
Most of reviewers/users are plug and play guys without any deeper expirence. As you said there's more problem with game optimisation than with hardware. Additionaly i can say that in case of this card (i have MSI version) turning SAM off and setting VRAM clock to max 2400Mhz(do not change GPU clock), setting power usage to max and coollers RPM to 2600-2700 gives me 500 more points in 3dmark Time Spy test.
Seems like the perfect kind of rdna3.5 igpu if the rumored 16cu is truly same as this but similar while only sipping 15-25w in gaming I dont mind playing in 1080p medium for 2020 titles and low like in tlou/returnals just for 60fps
It's not unfit on pcie 3.0. Lots of games don't have any difference, but some games have maybe 20% worse performance, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it to play those games. Even with the performance loss on 3.0 it's still a great value for the price.
thank you for this video, I have a rx 6500 xt 4gb ram version and it does well for what I do. its a great budget gamer gpu and its a MASSIVE upgrade from the intel hd 630 graphics I was on for nearly 6 years. I enjoy my GPU and everyone roasting it just made me angry. so I appreciate this video.
crazy to me that these used and old ones which are the cheapest options for gpus still go for what is 50% of a monthly salary where i live. lol, guess i'll continue to save money.
The vram hype/myth wasn't that something Nvidia concocted? It is kind of a coincidence that the conversation always comes up around the time they're ready to release new GPUs. Clever marketing? Creating artificial fomo? All of the above? I'm so confused...nice video
I ended up buying one back when it launched do to it being the only new card i could find. I still haven't upgraded do to it's good enough for the little bit of gaming i do
The lack of stream encoders and native H264 really just keeps me from wanting to upgrade from my rx5500 right. 5 to 10 more FPS in some of the games I'm currently playing isn't enough of a reason for me to upgrade yet. 😅 Though I will admit from a new build perspective this plus a AMD ryzen 4500 or 3600 😊 they pair together well with 16 gb of ddr4 to make a really affordable entry gaming PC. And honestly not enough people are talking about it. If you're just trying to get your foot in the door and wait for good hardware to be released at you know civilian accessible pricing. Then yeah it's definitely has a place in a PC in 2024. The only reasonable competition it has right now is the Intel a580. Being easily found on sale from 150 to 180 bucks, if you find one on the lower end of that scale, it's really competitive with this. But for 120 bucks you just can't easily beat this
I don't care for the newest latest crap, this card was perfect for me. I had a b450m PCIE3 motherboard, and I just needed the update from an APU because I bought a bigger monitor, mostly to do 2d CAD drawing. The most GPU intensive game I play is Sons of The Forest (in ultra), it runs at about 40-50 fps with FSR2, which is FINE (we are not cats).
I run this card and it works pretty well. it's a budget card and was never meant to compete with high end graphic cards. That being said it can handle most games fairly well and for the money there are not too many options out that are new and can compete at this price range.
I bought one when they came out and slapped it into my kids pc, I’ve since played musical gpus and now it’s in a sleeper pc for my dad. It will run MS flight sim at 30-40 fps over London and New York at 1080p at medium ish settings. Will be fine for my dad to sink his teeth into.
I would have appreciated this GPU more if AMD at least left the hardware encoding support on it, for crying out loud the RX 570 (4 GB) variant still had hardware encoding support and was also using 16x lanes. Btw you can get the RX 570 (4GB) now for $30 - $60 used which can be an amazing deal.
Prices vary massively based on where you live, so that ''120$'' for you is not at all the case where im from, the 6500xt is not worth it at all when being 3/4 of the price of a 6600 where im from which makes it a horrible choice.
Now in 2024 ive got my MSI rx 6500xt 4gb oc for £60 (UK) only 2nd hand on eBay, and well let me tell you that this was the best deal i ever made for a GPU... very playable fps for peanuts, killing my RTX 4060 as well in fps/bucks, what else i have to say...
I get that its brand new, but man people should not skimp out on used markets. Got a gtx 1070 for 80 bucks and a used logitech forcefeedback for 60 (when newer ffb costs 200 or more).
Just a topic maker. You can do a thing that eta does do a gpu solution where you easily hook up a stand alone gpu with its own power source to connect to a mini computer with one of those usb 4 connection and other options. Maybe you did.
have you thought about trying the 6600M desktop cards that are on aliexpress? i've had one in my pc for about 4 months now and the only difference I've seen is it uses less power than a regular 6600 card. they end up being around 160USD. If you want I can link a trusted seller. seems like neat video since you were thinking of doing a follow up to compare with the 6500xt
Look at " The Last of Fuss". While it's under 3.6 GB of Vram your system is using 25Gb of ram. I assume your PC has 32-64 Gb of ram which could help make up the low vram. HogWash Legacy also using 25 gb of ram. CyberJunk is using 21gb of ram.
TechDweeb, are you a figment of my imagination?! You literally made me jump at the 45 second mark with your paper pupets --- my name is Trevor and my best friend's name is Kyle. Either I'm having a complete mental breakdown and hallucinating you, or you're actually an NSA agent with the weirdest assignment of all time. Which is it?!?!
It's the opposite, you're a figment of MY imagination. Your whole world is my fever dream. Enjoy the ride while it lasts, I will probably wake up soon.
i have a question, i wanted to buy a GPU for my old PC i determined the limit for GPU that my CPU can handle, and after that i bought RX580 (saphire nitro+) but later, i discovered that RX6500xt have simillar performance, while being more energy efficient and as a result - cooler and more silent (witch is important to me), but unlike 580 it have 4 gb of vram i know they both gonna age rapidly, one because of old gpu, other because of vram, and now i can't decide, what do I need more...more vram at the price of silence, or silence at the price of a vram help?
I was a dummy for buying this GPU when it came out. It deserved to get all the criticism back then for being overpriced $330+ CAD. With the prices much lower than launch, it's much more appealing to use for non-AAA games at 1080p.
I love all the hate for this card. Because of that they sold for $99 on black friday and it came with Dead Island 2 for free. I only buyed this card so i could play Resident Evil 4 Remake with decent framerate, i only had a 2200G.
Hey Tech Dweeb. Do you think PC game devs are optimizing games for devices like the SteamDeck which as an added bonus is getting lower end GPU’s higher performance?
Its a really good gpu for the price. I've come to the point that having just enough to play is good for me. I've gone through the phase of buying and upgrading. Unless you want 4k, 60fps, at 120hz refresh rate, then by all means, go ahead and buy it. I will be paying 1080p forever and save myself thousands. Haha😂
Pardon? The cheapest NEW NVIdia GPU is not 4060 for $300 (more like $320 from what i've been seeing); it's the 3050 for $220. It hasn't been replaced by a new model yet, so it's even current, not only new. Not that i'd call it particularly good by any stretch, but it's there if you need it, and it even comes with 8GB on board. And it's not SLOW slow, like it works for just about anything you need it to. Furthermore there's some more options in the middle. Like the very dishonestly named 3060/8GB for $260 and the 3060/12GB for $290. These are leftovers of course, but they might last a while? Who knows. But yeah at $150 there's nothing quite there to give this XT competition. You know what manufacturers could do to make it look more attractive? So it turns out there is such a thing as DisplayPort splitters. Active chips which take one DisplayPort and give you several, and you can connect several monitors onto there and the GPU recognises and drives each monitor separately! As if you had a bunch of ports, right. Because multiple displays with different timing requirements on one port are foreseen right in the standard. Now when you buy them as a product, they turn out a little expensive, but bet they could do this on a GPU and it wouldn't raise the manufacturing price by more than $5, because power circuitry could be absorbed/simplified and a lot of other costs are already just there on the GPU PCB, you don't pay extra to have coils picked and placed because there's already some on there, there's already 4+ layers, etc. Add $10 or $15 to retail price, fill out that rear bracket with 1-2 more ports, sure to hook some people no? Because you know some people right, they look at a GPU and think, uhhh i really might need to connect another monitor on there.
The rx 6400 and 6500 xt were gems at their time A gtx 1060 was 300$+ when the 6500 xt was 200$ new The GTX 1050 ti was well over 200 whilst the rx 6400 was 170$~ These aren't awesome cards, but they were the cards we needed the most. I'm glad more people appreciate the card, even if we're in the minority ❤ Edit: o7 to the use of a HDD, love the dedication
Hey Dweeb, i have a question. I do graphic design as a hobby nothing serious and play gaming here n there. Any recommendations for a pc build for both gaming and for graphic designing (illustrator, photoshop)?
hey i love your vids and wanted some input. i have a 10th gen i5-10400 and im trying to upgrade without needing to change my motherboard. any suggestions that are noticeably better?
the thing is for the price of this card you could get a used 1070ti/1080 or a 5700xt for the same price and play all games on high settings at above 60 fps
Reviewers have been way to cought up in MSRP or push the narrative of street price. neither is really indicative of prices for the consumer. I long for a review, where you are simply shown, this card does this and that good and bad. Leave price out of it. If the consumer can't do a cost/frame calculation themself, then we are shit out of luck as a species. That being said, negative reviews has as you mentioned, made the card so freaking cheap that I've sold of dozens of 1050TI for more than the 6500XT I've replaced them with. New warranty, more perfomance and money in my pocket. Not to shabby
If you just want to see the performance you can easily see that, on techpowerup, you can see the relative performance between the gpus. There is a bigger story to tell other than just performance. One problem with that approach is that most people won't consider the price, they'll see lower performing GPUs as bad without knowing that they actually give you more performance per dollar compared to the competition. The price was the reason I revisited this gpu in this review, because the price has dropped so low that it makes it a better choice than it was before, and I want people to know about that.
Dweeb! Do you know if there will be a 7400 low profile card comming? The 6400 is tempting for my SFF machine but I am so curious if there will be comming a 7400🫣✌🏻
With the games shown you should consider whether you should buy a console. because the performance is significantly better for the price. You can't use the card on an older PC because of PCiE 3.0 and you'll need a new PC anyway.
This thing lack 2 things (good encoding and vram) i would have bought the gpu. (If it were from nvidia like a cut down varient of 3050 8gb) 😅 Now i have a more powerful i mean even more powerful than 6600. Which is a750. This gpu is crazy for so many workloads. (Mostly amazing for productive and encoding workload) Gaming performance is around 3060. More or less. ;| 6500 xt is good but not recommended. And there is another reason not to buy this. 1. Strix halo is coming. 2. Strix point which is less powerful than strix halo but strix point also has 16 cu just like this 6500 xt but strix point is much newer based on rdna 3.5 un like rdna 2 6500 xt. :) Now the strix point original varient has 4 zen 5 and 8 zen 5 c core as far as i know. Which would be much more powerful than my current 12400f for sure. 8000g series might bring some good value apus. Which might outperform 6500 xt. Why would i buy a gpu which is not as good as an upcoming apu. :) + I can buy newer ddr5 ram. Which is really cheap now days. :) I might buy a strix halo device. Which would be most probably a mini pc with a good cooling syatem. @_@ I'm just hoping for it to be cheap. U know I can't spend 1000$ for it. 😅 I can buy it for maximum 750$ to 800$ or 900$ maximum for 32 gb and 1 tb varient. Like the beelink 7840hs which is kind of reasonable at the price to perform ratio as of now Strix halo 40 cu performs on per with 4070. (Leaks) (idk how they test it)
I guess the only problem with it now is that if you skip a couple pizza nights and just make yourself some PB&J’s instead, you can afford an RX 6600 instead.
It is not the case in the third world so I am happy that this gpu exists and that I was able to buy it (and I am still paying for it)

Nowadays this card has even more sense, because of FSR3 and fluid frames technology
fluid frames and FSR pretty overhyped but it’s cool ig
fsr is terrible i’d much rather use xess instead
@@CodeStrife7 xess? This shit works normally only on Intel graphics cards. And overall quality is much worse than fsr 2.0.
Now in 2024 the 2 yrs development of drivers prooved this card is a best pocket friendly contender. I had many cards (RTX 4060 as well, loved it) but this rx 6500 xt is no doubt the best for the bucks (especially 2nd hand) with very playable FPS!
In Australia the RX 6600 can currently be had for $290-$320 AUD.
The RX 6500 XT seems to be hovering between $250-$280 AUD.
I think the RX 6500 XT is a great option for those who live in an area where the price difference isn't as close as this.
I ended up just capping my RX 6600 at 120 fps because all I play is singleplayer @ 1080p and it handles everything great.
Oh yeah, if you can get the 6600 at close to the same price definitely go for that. It's a WAY better gpu.
Its only $100 in my country and thats cheap asf considering its performance
I recently upgraded my GT 1030. I shopped for used cards from reputable sellers and the 5600 xt and the 6500 xt were right about the same price. I opted for the 5600 xt because it outperforms the the 6500 xt by a large margin. I do see the value some people find in purchasing new, and the 6500 xt can absolutely game at 1080p.
1:55 "4 giggle bites of v-ram" LOL
Thank you Mr. Dweeb for your input. I also thought it was an okay GPU at launch and said so. Got a lot of grief for it. But it seems to have redeemed itself.
The problem with this card isn't how it performs on a modern platform with PCIE gen4 or 5.
It's about how it would perform on a budget system which more than likely had/has PCIE 3. I would formally request that you tested again with a PCI gen 3 system please
Yeah that's kind of my worry for this little card. It's still one of the best options you have at $120 if you can find it for that
@@floppydisk4500even then you'd need a 11th gen system or 500 series from AMD in order to not cripple its performance.
Also for 30-40 more ya could get the 5700xt which doubles the performance. If cost isn't the issue and size/pcie cable is the restraint. then the 2060 makes more sense ($80 more though) and at this point either way it's second hand.
@@Dracossaint I'm using the predecessor the 5500 4 gigabyte, on a Gen. 3 system and I'm really still quite satisfied, I could afford a system that they had Gen. 4 compatibility I would use it, but I'm still quite satisfied with what I have for now, like I said elsewhere, I certainly not going to upgrading to 6500, but there is certainly a reason for this to exist in the 2024, I'm not amazed with the fact that it only has four lanes, but I am aware that it exists. I know the bottle neck is there.
@@floppydisk4500 That card's probably fine on only 4 lanes of pcie 3 really. Also keep in mind I ain't trying to shame anyone or tell ya to upgrade, it's just their much better value to be had then the 6500xt. If you're happy, that's all that really matters man.
@@Dracossaint and I'm saying that at 120 to $150 brand new, because of warranty does matter to people, you don't have many better options. They are still selling GT 1030s for $100, they're selling 1650 for 160 to $170 this will outperform all of that. Even on Gen 3 lanes of PCIe. And it's going to pair decently with almost any CPU that you can afford brand new around 120, including the ryzen 5500, and that supports PCIe 4.0 on the right motherboard. With careful part selection, this isn't the worst GPU ever released. It attains playable performance in most games that people want to play today, while there are better options, the Intel Arc a580 kicks ass at 160 to 190, there are definitely better options including the 2060/ext. if you were willing to go used. On the new market, there's nothing that really compares right now.
No encoder is what really put me off
I mean cmon, lemme just capture me gameplay!
I used CPU encoding to capture the gameplay in this vid
I'd like to point out that other than the bad reviews, the major reason it was never scalped is because Ethereum miners couldn't use it - the DAG was over 4 GB already so you would be unable to mine ETH on this card. You could mine other alt-coins but the profitability just wasn't there. For 1080p gaming, I play quite a few games some of which are badly optimized, it works fine ... the only game I can't really play with it is Star Citizen.
Your diorama play set cracked me up! ^^
I love comparing gpu’s that are relatively cheap and newer to the gtx 1080. That’s still a solid card for 1080p and some older 1440p gaming (like anything released at the time of the 1080 and before it does amazing at 1440p). A lot of cards that are like $250ish on a sale beat out the 1080
I have both RX 6500 XT and Rx 6600 installed in two different machines and I mostly play games at 1080p medium setting locked 60 fps through MSI Afterburner Rever Tuner on my RX 6500 XT and don't face any issues playing old and relatively modern games from year 2009 to 2018. Some of the modern games as you have mentioned have some stuttering issues but since RX 6500 XT draws so less power you can't just complain and its not game breaking. *** I am very Interested in a video comparing both RX 6500 XT and RX 6600 ***. I will be eagerly waiting for your next video. Thank you so much for this video and I enjoyed it a lot.
Always wondered what the RX6500XT 8GB Gigglebite version is like? There is a Sapphire version, but not seen one in the wild to buy used or new.
They're so rare in the west, it's almost a China exclusive at this point
Given how a 128 bit bus is already an issue, I can imagine 8gb on a 64 bit bus ain't that great
@@roqeyt3566 Yeah, 64bit & 8GB, Isn't much cop. Strange it is not more common over here. As still listed out of stock on Overclockers UK.
I bought it and currently it supplies me very well I was looking for a cheap computer that works well now and I saw in these 7 months that I have it that it is super cold around 60° and I also use an Atlhon 3000g with it and 16 GB RAM, it works very well processor is very cold and the video card is also cold and another advantage low consumption, and all this allied: low consumption, cold temperature, and a low price, for me it is a great advantage
Your Rx 6600 as a upgrade better then what you got now for only $180
I have also tested the RX 6500 xt with Athlon 3000G and it works really well and can play all day long and the total power draw from the wall is under 115W to 130W which is surprising.
Would love to see how well it does with high end emulation
Good idea! I think I will!
I'm still in the hate it club. When it came out, it was a mobile chip slapped on a pcb, 2 video outs, no encoder, barely faster than rx 480 from 2016, if I recall well even higher msrp, but with ridiculously high street price. It felt insulting.
Today, as far as I know, 6600 has better price to performance. 5500xt is faster, especially on older systems, while being quite a bit cheaper used.
So it deserves t all the hate as far as I'm concerned. If a product makes me uninterested in the market I love, it's a bad product. Too bad those are prevalent now. There's even a rumour floating around nVidia is preventing manufacturers from making Intel cards. If true, I predict I'll be able to keep my 3080 for the next 10 years, as the innovation is stifled. Or until drivers are nerfed.
I did a build for my son 5600G + 6500 XT, perfect for Minecraft, Roblox and the like.
I just bought one of these from Microcenter as an open box item. It cost me $77.00. It works great and this was a great bargain.
Sometimes I just wanna game, nothing can hold me back.
Great video as usual! At this price, I completely see your point about this gpu. If someone wants a new gpu with a warranty and doesn't have much money then this would be okay. Apart from the more expensive 6600 there is also the previous gen 5500xt to consider, although you probably can only get that 2nd hand now but it also has an 8gb variant so I would go for that instead. You should do a video comparing all three of those. 😉
Good idea!
It's a bad video. He tested the card on a PCIe 4.0 system here, not a PCIe 3.0 one.
A lot of budget gamers are on older PCs that do not support 4.0, which can cripple the 6500 XT or 6400 in some games.
Almost everyone else did test it in their full suite of games. He only provided a few on the original review.
His point is that 4.0 vs 3.0 should only be about 3%, which is true for full x16 or x8 cards. But in reality, 6500 XT by virtue of being x4, can get hit up to 50%.
When you are already limited by budget, it's completely unacceptable to get gimped even more, through no fault of your own.
Look at it this way.
Are you okay to spending 50% more to get 100% more performance?
What about 15%?
That's the difference between $120 6500 XT to $180 6600.
The cheapest budget build with a 12100F is about $440 with 6500XT, and $500 with 6600.
ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/L7jwwc
The 6600 will not only provide you with a better experience, it will do so for longer, meaning your money goes further.
6500 XT was always a bad value, and it always will be until it drops to a point where 6600 doesn't completely destroy it in price/performance.
Dweeb being a contrarian doesn't mean he's right.
It's giving out poor advice for people that can ill afford said advice.
@@KL-sd2bw Totally disagree. I use rx 6500 xt on a pci-e gen 3 and that is the difference dude.. around 3-5% at best.. like who gives a flying fk about that. Don't talk if you don't own the card please. I got mine for 130$ and has a 3 years waranty.. where the fk you get that deal elsewhere? Stop hating, people are not here to find out cards over their budget, cause i can f*king disagree with your stupid a** 6600 option and tell you that you can add 70$ more and get a RX 6700 and keep adding more and more options that adds more and more money .. like c'mon.. your comment intended to be smart but it's just too dumb tbh.
Glad uploaded this video jusr 2 days ago, cuz I literally just reserved one for $129 at Microcenter open box! Today is the last day for me to pick it up, or it goes back on the shelf. New, this card is still going for 150-160 like you showed. Still the cheapest card using only a single 6-pin PCIe connector.
Why am I so damn specific about what I'm looking for? Because I just saved an HP Tower Workstation Z240 from being tossed. It's a Skylake Core i7-6700 with 48GB RAM and 2x 256GB SSD (one NVME, one Samsung 850 EVO SATA), and the PSU is a proprietary one that doesn't use the standard 24-pin ATX connector for the motherboard so I couldn't replace it. It also only have a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. That really limited me. I wanted to keep it as "stock" as possible so i wasn't about do anything weird like replace the PSU and use an adapter (they exist but it triggers a PSU fan warning). Besides, it's a pet project of mine to put Debian 12 on it and this is the first AMD GPU I'm using with Linux so I want to see what the experience is like compared to dealing with nVidia drivers on Linux. Is it as easy as everyone says? I'll find out soon! I might even make a video about it...
I think the RX 5500, RX 5600, RX5700 , RX6600 and RX 6700 are great buys for the money.
Right now i have a RX 6600 and my R5 is bottlenecking it lol.
Just upgraded from a gt 1030 to a used 5600 xt I am super stoked with the performance I got for 100 bucks. Finally feel like waiting out the GPU apocalypse was worth it.
WOOT! RX 6500 XT still good.
I would definitely would like to see a 6500 xt vs 6600 vid.
@thecouchtripper If he did a video with 6600 vs 6500XT, it would completely destroy his point of it being a good purchase.
The 6600 was at $250 CAD for a couple of months, which is about $180-190.
That's a 2x increase in performance and VRAM for about 50% increase in price.
Not to mention it's even more increase in performance if his system wasn't capable of at least PCIe 4.0.
For a budget card, they'll often be used in older machines not supporting PCIe 4.0.
PCIe 3.0 basically cripples 6500 XT/6400 at certain games like Doom, Resident Evil Village (nearly 50% performance hit).
The encoders might not matter to everyone, but if someone wants to stream, the cut means they need to depend on their iGPU if they have one.
the reason why the RX 6400 might be more expensive is because it's a Low Profile GPU maybe? i personally plan to make a SFF PC in the near future so LP GPU is a necessity for that, which might explain the price difference since they're both on the lower end of "modern GPU"s power wise so the physical size might be the reason
That's a good point
Back to 2022, i'm building a PC with low budget, but i want it to be future proof so i can upgrade it later. Started with 5600G + asrock b550m pro 4. About 2 months later i decided to buy RX 6500xt because its cheap and i already have pcie 4.0 in my b550m. But since the vega 7 will be useless and 5600G is still using pcie 3.0 i also change my cpu to 5600x. All games that i play now runnings so smooth, few games that i played are lies of pi, sekiro, forza 4, metro last light, and i got 300-350 fps in valorant. This gpu is really good for pure performance. My next upgrade plan is 6700xt, but for now i'm more than happy with 6500xt.
I ordered the v90 bro... Looking forward to be playing games on it
Nice! Enjoy!
I'm looking at the 6500 xt not for gaming, but for media. We just got a 75" tv that does 120hz, and my old card can only do 24hz at 4k, so its time to upgrade. As someone who doesn't even do gaming, there's very few options for affordable cards. This is one of them. it has HDMI 2.1 so I won't have to use a display port adapter, and it should work fine for just video playback duties. Where did the all in wonder go when you need it the most!!
Well done bru👏👏you spot on
1:20 this is for the ages, that part was not a joke.
If only it had 6 gb of vram.
I think it having 4gb of vram is worse than being pcie 4.0 which looking at test results was overexaggerated.
But at 4 gb people who use the rx 570 GTX 1650 or 1050 ti will have no reason to upgrade and these are among the most common cards.
if you have rx 570 & gtx 1650. You should have upgrade it above LOL
Came for the skits stayed for the tech 😂
I have one, I couldn't get a decent gpu for my grand daughters PC at a normal price when these launched, I got her this until prices dropped, once that happened I got her a 3060Ti and took this one, I am using it as we speak and it plays what I need just fine, I have the XFX version. And....bonus it runs really cool. usually doesn't break 55c. Granted I only play WoW, SC2 and some older steam games. I paid $179 for it when I got it, but at that time it was cheap!
Most of reviewers/users are plug and play guys without any deeper expirence. As you said there's more problem with game optimisation than with hardware. Additionaly i can say that in case of this card (i have MSI version) turning SAM off and setting VRAM clock to max 2400Mhz(do not change GPU clock), setting power usage to max and coollers RPM to 2600-2700 gives me 500 more points in 3dmark Time Spy test.
Awesome tip!
That’s right my friend, Things are getting worse and worse
Seems like the perfect kind of rdna3.5 igpu if the rumored 16cu is truly same as this but similar while only sipping 15-25w in gaming
I dont mind playing in 1080p medium for 2020 titles and low like in tlou/returnals just for 60fps
Dweeb, I always enjoy your video and learning every time
thank you
Would definately be interested in a comparison between the 6500 XT, the 6600 and the 7600.
14:10 Its bad because it has only 4 PCI-e lanes, thus makes it unfitting for budget PCs that only have PCI-e 3.0.
It's not unfit on pcie 3.0. Lots of games don't have any difference, but some games have maybe 20% worse performance, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it to play those games. Even with the performance loss on 3.0 it's still a great value for the price.
I got my 6500 xt sapphire pulse on ebay for 65 bucks. It's such a good budget option
thank you for this video, I have a rx 6500 xt 4gb ram version and it does well for what I do. its a great budget gamer gpu and its a MASSIVE upgrade from the intel hd 630 graphics I was on for nearly 6 years. I enjoy my GPU and everyone roasting it just made me angry. so I appreciate this video.
Not going to say your wrong but what of video editing?
I wonder if game developers will ever optimize, ship out complete or good products again
crazy to me that these used and old ones which are the cheapest options for gpus still go for what is 50% of a monthly salary where i live. lol, guess i'll continue to save money.
The issue with the card is the encoder, it doesn’t record video footage. Even a R7 450 low profile can record. How did you record the footage then?
I have this card and it's great. It does everything I need it to do and more.
What games can it run?
I just wanna play warframe and fortnite with my friends so I don't need something that's high end
@@jenex7623 I use it for Microsoft flight simulator. It works fine at Med. settings.
The vram hype/myth wasn't that something Nvidia concocted? It is kind of a coincidence that the conversation always comes up around the time they're ready to release new GPUs. Clever marketing? Creating artificial fomo? All of the above? I'm so confused...nice video
I ended up buying one back when it launched do to it being the only new card i could find. I still haven't upgraded do to it's good enough for the little bit of gaming i do
The lack of stream encoders and native H264 really just keeps me from wanting to upgrade from my rx5500 right. 5 to 10 more FPS in some of the games I'm currently playing isn't enough of a reason for me to upgrade yet. 😅 Though I will admit from a new build perspective this plus a AMD ryzen 4500 or 3600 😊 they pair together well with 16 gb of ddr4 to make a really affordable entry gaming PC. And honestly not enough people are talking about it. If you're just trying to get your foot in the door and wait for good hardware to be released at you know civilian accessible pricing. Then yeah it's definitely has a place in a PC in 2024. The only reasonable competition it has right now is the Intel a580. Being easily found on sale from 150 to 180 bucks, if you find one on the lower end of that scale, it's really competitive with this. But for 120 bucks you just can't easily beat this
Same GPU and I love it
I don't care for the newest latest crap, this card was perfect for me. I had a b450m PCIE3 motherboard, and I just needed the update from an APU because I bought a bigger monitor, mostly to do 2d CAD drawing.
The most GPU intensive game I play is Sons of The Forest (in ultra), it runs at about 40-50 fps with FSR2, which is FINE (we are not cats).
I run this card and it works pretty well. it's a budget card and was never meant to compete with high end graphic cards. That being said it can handle most games fairly well and for the money there are not too many options out that are new and can compete at this price range.
I bought one when they came out and slapped it into my kids pc, I’ve since played musical gpus and now it’s in a sleeper pc for my dad. It will run MS flight sim at 30-40 fps over London and New York at 1080p at medium ish settings. Will be fine for my dad to sink his teeth into.
I LOL'd everytime he said GiggleByte. I think I need to go outside.
Well everyone hates this gpu. That's why u got it with $120
Sapphire did release rx 6500 xt's with 8gb's of vram.
I would have appreciated this GPU more if AMD at least left the hardware encoding support on it, for crying out loud the RX 570 (4 GB) variant still had hardware encoding support and was also using 16x lanes. Btw you can get the RX 570 (4GB) now for $30 - $60 used which can be an amazing deal.
I think the 6500 launch actually came from left over laptop gpu stocks amd had, hence why no encoding and only 2 ports
@@Technobabble83yeah it was meant for laptops.
Prices vary massively based on where you live, so that ''120$'' for you is not at all the case where im from, the 6500xt is not worth it at all when being 3/4 of the price of a 6600 where im from which makes it a horrible choice.
Now in 2024 ive got my MSI rx 6500xt 4gb oc for £60 (UK) only 2nd hand on eBay, and well let me tell you that this was the best deal i ever made for a GPU... very playable fps for peanuts, killing my RTX 4060 as well in fps/bucks, what else i have to say...
I get that its brand new, but man people should not skimp out on used markets. Got a gtx 1070 for 80 bucks and a used logitech forcefeedback for 60 (when newer ffb costs 200 or more).
intel a580 and a310 is out on newegg. i look forward to the reviews.
Good stuff!! 👍👍
i still dont have any toliet paper, its kind of gross over here.
I use Nature's Toilet Paper (aka squirrels)
Just a topic maker. You can do a thing that eta does do a gpu solution where you easily hook up a stand alone gpu with its own power source to connect to a mini computer with one of those usb 4 connection and other options. Maybe you did.
have you thought about trying the 6600M desktop cards that are on aliexpress? i've had one in my pc for about 4 months now and the only difference I've seen is it uses less power than a regular 6600 card. they end up being around 160USD. If you want I can link a trusted seller. seems like neat video since you were thinking of doing a follow up to compare with the 6500xt
I would love to check one of them out someday
LOL amazing video. Though, I get 90fps in TR with an RX470 4gig on 1440p, running with a I7 -4790S
Look at " The Last of Fuss". While it's under 3.6 GB of Vram your system is using 25Gb of ram. I assume your PC has 32-64 Gb of ram which could help make up the low vram. HogWash Legacy also using 25 gb of ram. CyberJunk is using 21gb of ram.
Yeah I noticed the system ram usage, makes me think my 16 GB is going to hold my 6600 back

Another awesome video, thanks Dweeb. Say can this GPU be paired with a mini pc?
This GPU is perfect for older games and e sports.
i have a question, i wanted to buy a GPU for my old PC
i determined the limit for GPU that my CPU can handle, and after that i bought RX580 (saphire nitro+) but later, i discovered that RX6500xt have simillar performance, while being more energy efficient and as a result - cooler and more silent (witch is important to me), but unlike 580 it have 4 gb of vram
i know they both gonna age rapidly, one because of old gpu, other because of vram, and now i can't decide, what do I need more...more vram at the price of silence, or silence at the price of a vram
help?
I was a dummy for buying this GPU when it came out. It deserved to get all the criticism back then for being overpriced $330+ CAD. With the prices much lower than launch, it's much more appealing to use for non-AAA games at 1080p.
I love all the hate for this card. Because of that they sold for $99 on black friday and it came with Dead Island 2 for free. I only buyed this card so i could play Resident Evil 4 Remake with decent framerate, i only had a 2200G.
Hey Tech Dweeb. Do you think PC game devs are optimizing games for devices like the SteamDeck which as an added bonus is getting lower end GPU’s higher performance?
I definitely do.
Its a really good gpu for the price. I've come to the point that having just enough to play is good for me. I've gone through the phase of buying and upgrading. Unless you want 4k, 60fps, at 120hz refresh rate, then by all means, go ahead and buy it. I will be paying 1080p forever and save myself thousands. Haha😂
I miss my wife... I miss her too... What??? Comedy Gold
Pardon? The cheapest NEW NVIdia GPU is not 4060 for $300 (more like $320 from what i've been seeing); it's the 3050 for $220. It hasn't been replaced by a new model yet, so it's even current, not only new. Not that i'd call it particularly good by any stretch, but it's there if you need it, and it even comes with 8GB on board. And it's not SLOW slow, like it works for just about anything you need it to.
Furthermore there's some more options in the middle. Like the very dishonestly named 3060/8GB for $260 and the 3060/12GB for $290. These are leftovers of course, but they might last a while? Who knows.
But yeah at $150 there's nothing quite there to give this XT competition.
You know what manufacturers could do to make it look more attractive? So it turns out there is such a thing as DisplayPort splitters. Active chips which take one DisplayPort and give you several, and you can connect several monitors onto there and the GPU recognises and drives each monitor separately! As if you had a bunch of ports, right. Because multiple displays with different timing requirements on one port are foreseen right in the standard. Now when you buy them as a product, they turn out a little expensive, but bet they could do this on a GPU and it wouldn't raise the manufacturing price by more than $5, because power circuitry could be absorbed/simplified and a lot of other costs are already just there on the GPU PCB, you don't pay extra to have coils picked and placed because there's already some on there, there's already 4+ layers, etc. Add $10 or $15 to retail price, fill out that rear bracket with 1-2 more ports, sure to hook some people no? Because you know some people right, they look at a GPU and think, uhhh i really might need to connect another monitor on there.
This look more powerful then 960 gtx 2gb ram I buy it for 400$ in 2015
The rx 6400 and 6500 xt were gems at their time
A gtx 1060 was 300$+ when the 6500 xt was 200$ new
The GTX 1050 ti was well over 200 whilst the rx 6400 was 170$~
These aren't awesome cards, but they were the cards we needed the most. I'm glad more people appreciate the card, even if we're in the minority ❤

Hey Dweeb, i have a question. I do graphic design as a hobby nothing serious and play gaming here n there. Any recommendations for a pc build for both gaming and for graphic designing (illustrator, photoshop)?
hey i love your vids and wanted some input. i have a 10th gen i5-10400 and im trying to upgrade without needing to change my motherboard. any suggestions that are noticeably better?
Something like this would be good. Or if you wanted to spend more maybe a 1660 super or even a 2060 or 3060 would be a good pairing with that cpu.
Modern games are getting out of hand man They are too big and require a beefy GPU to run
the thing is for the price of this card you could get a used 1070ti/1080 or a 5700xt for the same price and play all games on high settings at above 60 fps
EXACTO USADA PARA QUE SOLO TE DURE UNA SEMANA COMPRAR USADO ES RISGOSO
Reviewers have been way to cought up in MSRP or push the narrative of street price. neither is really indicative of prices for the consumer.
I long for a review, where you are simply shown, this card does this and that good and bad. Leave price out of it. If the consumer can't do a cost/frame calculation themself, then we are shit out of luck as a species.
That being said, negative reviews has as you mentioned, made the card so freaking cheap that I've sold of dozens of 1050TI for more than the 6500XT I've replaced them with. New warranty, more perfomance and money in my pocket. Not to shabby
If you just want to see the performance you can easily see that, on techpowerup, you can see the relative performance between the gpus. There is a bigger story to tell other than just performance. One problem with that approach is that most people won't consider the price, they'll see lower performing GPUs as bad without knowing that they actually give you more performance per dollar compared to the competition. The price was the reason I revisited this gpu in this review, because the price has dropped so low that it makes it a better choice than it was before, and I want people to know about that.
I have this gpu…some Msi motherboard, 12th gen i5 and 32 gigs of ram and I can run most games high settings 1080p just fine
You're the best, Tech Dweeb!
Thanks buddy 🤓
Pcie 3.0 would like to know your location
Dweeb! Do you know if there will be a 7400 low profile card comming? The 6400 is tempting for my SFF machine but I am so curious if there will be comming a 7400🫣✌🏻
No idea, I hope so though. However there is a 4060 low profile that's been announced, look into that one.
4060 low profile, its not Amd but still interesting😊 Will check it out, thanks.
Will you be reviewing it if/when it arrives?
With the games shown you should consider whether you should buy a console. because the performance is significantly better for the price. You can't use the card on an older PC because of PCiE 3.0 and you'll need a new PC anyway.
880m is going to be on par with this?
Might give elsa a try
Vulkan, Wayland. Video decoding on Vulkan... nice linux setup.. for those who don't do gaming
I am not sure if VP9 is there. Should be. AV1 will be vulkan decoded I guess.
This thing lack 2 things (good encoding and vram) i would have bought the gpu. (If it were from nvidia like a cut down varient of 3050 8gb)
😅 Now i have a more powerful i mean even more powerful than 6600. Which is a750.
This gpu is crazy for so many workloads. (Mostly amazing for productive and encoding workload)
Gaming performance is around 3060. More or less.
;| 6500 xt is good but not recommended.
And there is another reason not to buy this.
1. Strix halo is coming.
2. Strix point which is less powerful than strix halo but strix point also has 16 cu just like this 6500 xt but strix point is much newer based on rdna 3.5 un like rdna 2 6500 xt.
:) Now the strix point original varient has 4 zen 5 and 8 zen 5 c core as far as i know. Which would be much more powerful than my current 12400f for sure.
8000g series might bring some good value apus. Which might outperform 6500 xt.
Why would i buy a gpu which is not as good as an upcoming apu.
:) + I can buy newer ddr5 ram. Which is really cheap now days.
:) I might buy a strix halo device. Which would be most probably a mini pc with a good cooling syatem. @_@ I'm just hoping for it to be cheap. U know I can't spend 1000$ for it. 😅 I can buy it for maximum 750$ to 800$ or 900$ maximum for 32 gb and 1 tb varient. Like the beelink 7840hs which is kind of reasonable at the price to perform ratio as of now
Strix halo 40 cu performs on per with 4070. (Leaks) (idk how they test it)
Strix point won't have infinite fabric. I reckon they'll be evenly matched.
almost completely unrelated to the video, but how does a 5950x draw 100w at 1% utilization?
