    Radeon RX 6500 XT is OK

    This is a good card, it's the same card that came in my new PC Build. I'm using it to process data for Machine Learning/AI. The setup is pretty powerful and it runs very quietly without too much heat. I can keep multiple tabs open on the machine and the combined RAM just keeps rendering images on screen. It has decent quality video at 1080p and higher as well. It never puts out too much heat or quits while multitasking either. These are OK cards for budget builds and workstations for people who don't want to spend thousands on a setup just to get work done or play video games.

    Runs cool has not used more than 90 Watts during full load decent FPS ( avg 45- 60 fps) with a mix of high and med settings in AAA games like the Callisto protocol, mortal shell , metro series and shadow of tomb raider . In Shadow of tomb raider Ray tracing shadows can be used with playable frame rates . All using pcie gen 2.0 !! Great little card and the best in price range.. AMD baby!!

    This card does everything as expected. Don't expect to run too high of settings. If you want a budget replacement card to replace your current one until something better comes out, this will do. The 4gb of vram was the only real noticable bottleneck.

    Works great when it decides too! When using it after a successful boot it works great, great for the price with optimum performance. But when trying to boot it often doesn’t register with computer as a working device! Resolution also changes as it pleases and drivers offer don’t work cause spazzing and freezing.

    I can’t play any “recent” games without getting a black screen and having to restart my pc and reinstall the graphics driver. The only way I can even use it is by general use (YouTube, browsing the web, playing old/non graphically intense games like Black Ops II, or something pre 2016).

    I have had no issues with this card. I initially thought I ordered the 8G model and was incredibly disappointed once I noticed my error. The GPU was a surprise gift for my son for being the opposite of a problem child. I already told him it was at home waiting for him after Installing it. Upon seeing my mistake when I was showing him the empty box, I started thinking I didn't want him to have to wait for something right after I gifted it to him... nobody likes that. I thought I would use it anyway to see how it performed with his setup. it was exceeding the benchmarks I was shooting for and he was ecstatic. I recommend this as a slightly less costly and performance alternative to the 8G version.

    Not a bad starting gpu. Got it on sale as a starting point for my wife’s computer. It’s definitely been put through it’s paces gaming since we bought it back in January and no complaints. A lot of people talk down about this card but as a starting point it’s perfect.

    Purchased this card right when they started appearing on shelves again after the shortage. Was on sale. And more importantly it was in stock. The card itself works great. Handles a wide range of games with ease. It's a 4gb card so the newest titles are most likely out, but it runs games from a few years back and older flawlessly. It sits in my 2nd/back-up computer. So i can be on my computer and the kid can still have a good time with a great frame rate gaming with this card. The only reason for the 4 stars is the 4gb. In this day and age it is 8 and up.

    I don't like the fact that NVidia has a corner on the market. This card for the price works good for 1080p30 gaming my daughter does on Steam but couldn't stand it. With the price of lower-end RTX 4070 and 70ti, I wouldn't waste my time with AMD's offer.
