ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT OC, TUF-RX6500XT-O4G-GAMING, 4GB GDDR6, HDMI, DP

Budget Navi Grafikkarte! Nach und nach erweitert AMD sein Navi-Line-up und bedient auch die Kunden mit dem kleineren Geldbeutel, wenn es um aktuelle RDNA2-Grafikkarten geht. Mit der AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT gibt es eine sparsame 1080p-Gaming-Grafikkarte. Mit deutlichen Einschränkungen bei den technischen Daten hat AMD aber den Rotstift deutlich angesetzt. Wir schauen uns genauer an, was dennoch an Leistung erwartet werden kann.

Kein offizielles Muster = kein Test? Mitnichten. Insofern stand bei der AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT noch etwas aus. Auch in diesem Artikel zeigen sich die großen Probleme in Folge der Einschnitte der Navi-24-GPU, die höchstwahrscheinlich nie für den Deskop-PC geplant war. Auch zum Marktpreis von 300 Euro ist sie keine gute Wahl.

The launch of the RX 6500 XT had a lot of public backlash due to some of the limitations of AMD's new GPU, specifically the 4GB VRAM and the PCIe lanes being limited to 4 lanes which combined hold the card back when it comes to higher resolutions and at times if you are running very high detail games at 1080p. That said, the card does still have a place in the market, you just need to be clear about what you plan on using the card for. It is also one of the only cards you can get new without crazy markups. So I was excited when Asus offered to send their TUF Gaming RX 6500 XT OC Edition over. Not to mention, even though I had a lot of experience with the TUF lineup years ago when it first came out on motherboards. I’ve never had the chance to check out any of the TUF cards. So today I’m going to check out Asus’s card to see how the overclocked card performs and I’m especially curious to see what sets the TUF lineup apart and how it performs in things like cooling, noise, and power usage that help set cards with the same GPUs apart. So let’s check it out.

What could turn things around is the small memory size of 4 GB, that could make the card unattractive for miners. Maybe all the drama about the PCIe x4 interface will further reduce demand for this card and we could actually see it at its MSRP of $200, which would make it an interesting option in this crazy market.
