Overall, while Nvidia DLSS and AMD FidelityFX supersampling can potentially level the performance between both cards, there is one clear winner in terms of raw hardware performance. In comparison to the next available AMD GPU, the RX 6600 offers 4 GB of additional VRAM, and around 40% more rendering units on average. That should be able to extend the lifespan of many players' rigs, if only for the short-term. Similar to Nvidia, AMD's budget card is also capable of taking advantage of FidelityFX, AMD's own AI supersampling rendering technology. Upgrading to a RX 6500 XT isn't a staggering improvement, but does provide an affordable option for many with AMD rigs. AMD boasts 60+ FPS in similarly demanding games like Call of Duty: Vanguard, Halo Infinite, Resident Evil Village, and several more, all at high settings at a 1080p resolution.Īt the intended price, AMD is clearly aiming for the majority of players who are still running old hardware like RX 570 or GTX 1650 graphics cards. The 6500 XT card has 1,024 shader cores, 64 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 16 dedicated ray tracing cores as well. Priced at $199, the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT is a 4 GB VRAM GPU operating at a base clock speed of 2.61 GHz (2.82 GHz boost clock speed) with GDDR6 memory. From AMD's camp, the latest budget Radeon card is taking a conservative approach to its entry-level GPU.
