An affordable entry-level gaming graphics card, among the main advantages of which, first of all, it is worth highlighting the use of the progressive AMD RDNA 2 architecture, as well as the presence of factory overclocking. The basis of the hardware was the Navi 24 graphics chip, which is actually a "cropped" version of the previous Navi 23 chip. The manufacturer provides 1024 stream processors, 64 texture units and 32 rasterization units.

Around the processor are 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, as well as 16 MB of Infinity Cache memory. In practice, all these figures mean that the MSI Radeon RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4G OC graphics card will be able to provide comfortable frame rates in modern games in FullHD resolution rather at medium graphics quality settings. At the same time, support for traditional Radeon Boost technologies is additionally provided to improve performance in dynamic scenes and Radeon Anti-lag to reduce delays in online games.

And support for proprietary AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution technology allows you to count on an increase in frame rate in games that support it. The cooling system features a massive heatsink and two MSI TORX 3.0 fans with traditional and special diffuser blades. The device is designed to be connected to a PCI-E v4.0 motherboard, while it is noted that when using the PCI-E v3.0 interface, a noticeable drop in performance is noticeable.

Affordable accelerator based on RDNA 2 architecture

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a budget graphics card aimed at filling the gap in the entry-level market left by the Radeon RX 580 and GeForce GTX 1060. The Navi 24 graphics chip is a simplified version of the Navi 23 used in laptops, with 5.4 billion transistors and 1024 stream processors. The 4GB VRAM limit may limit performance in some modern games.

Compact cooling system

The MSI MECH version is equipped with an efficient cooling system with two MSI TORX 3.0 fans and a compact radiator. The system supports Zero Frozr silent mode. Thanks to its small size, the RX 6500 XT is perfect for compact computers where there is no room for large graphics cards.

Full HD Gaming Option

The RX 6500 XT is aimed at gaming in Full HD resolution at medium settings, providing FPS of about 30-45. The 4GB VRAM limitation becomes noticeable in today's demanding games. As an alternative, you can consider the previous models Radeon RX 5700/5700 XT and GeForce GTX 1660/1660 SUPER, if their price is adequate (below 180 euros).
