True...for APU users who can't afford more than $300 for a GPU

The 4GB of VRAM is to thank for that.

Not in my country sadly

Yeah a couple of people I know are glad to be able to upgrade from their iGPUs

It's still a terrible deal tho Those RDNA2 APU's are giving you nearly the same performance as this card with their integrated graphics In a few months we will see thin and light laptops and nucs using those RDNA2 APU's That will make this card obsolete For someone looking to upgrade an old PC to play modern games the RTX 3050/used 1660ti/1650 super makes more sense And for someone who is building a new PC it makes more sense to get a laptop with the ryzen 6000 APU's

there's a used Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8Gb on ebay for £199.99 which is faster and has twice the VRAM. Also the 6500 XT only has 8 PCIe lanes which is okay on a PCIe 4 motherboard but for people on a PCIe 3 or older motherboard, 8 PCIe lanes will tank the performance.

@@PottyShidder No, you are 100% correct. Their benchmarks are biased in favour of intel. When the 5950X came out their benchmark had old Intel CPUs beating it. Hardware Unboxed did a video on it a long while. It's one of the worst tools out there. Multiple runs don't give you a consistent score within margin of error, nor does it tell you the full system configuration of what makes up their data. You can actually increase your score by decreasing things like your resolution, that can skew results etc.

A big part of the reason I got this card is that AMD hardware just plays better with Linux than Nvidia. Hearing you say it's an upgrade from a 1050ti makes me feel better since I bought the card before checking the reviews >.> I'm on PCIE 3 though which is a huge bottleneck on any OS I'm sure, but hopefully the superior drivers on Linux will keep this card stable, I've already had driver timeouts on Win 11

@@electricalbatross5797 im sorry to hear windows 11 has given you issues I actually just reverted back to windows 10 for better amd compatibility in general and its working well so far. Linux has been pretty much flawless on this card and the gaming experience has been excellent to. Linux is also the main reason I chose this card over anything nvidia because ive been dealing with terrible nvidia driver support and graphics related issues in linux since 2013 and I AM DONE dealing with it if I can help it lol. I believe im on pcie 3 also and at least for the titles I have played the upgrade is still so much better that whatever performance uplift I could receive from pcie 4 would most likely feel marginal to me considering the rest of my build (ryzen 5 3500 6 core cpu no Hyper Threading), 16gb of ram and ssd of course), now if I had a more powerful cpu that could push way higher fps then that difference between available pcie bandwidth and supported lanes would be more noticeable im sure, I just thankfully dont have to worry about that at the moment.

Seconded

Lil the "other high profile review site" definitely looks like hardware-unboxed, still they have to keep in mind in their testing that anyone looking for one of these cards isn't on a top tier pc anyways so might be cpu limited even, and whoever (like me) buys one does not play AAA titles or ultra settings in all games, maybe some casual warzone or forza, maybe halo, but nothing like resident evil with all setti go cranked up or other new prohibitive titles. If they kept that in mind maybe reviewers would still give this gpu a pass since it does its job, but they instead compare it to gpus that are on another level and it simply doesn't add up and just makes this gpu look like dog s**t when it's not (yes it's not the best we all know, but it works better, consumes less and will last longer than most second market cards)

Lmao chill out, they're not entirely wrong. This fucking card should've been mobile only but it's just a cashgrab by AMD.

@@crylune cashgrab yes just like all other companies NVDIA included, its better than 1650 at same price and not everyone needs encoding. Its not like everyone is content creator lmfao

Sounds about right. This part won't age well since it's not even suitable as a display adapter. If you want, say, three monitors and/or hardware encoding or decoding for x265 or AV1 you'll need something else. Therefore the card's utility lies in games that fit comfortably within the 4GB framebuffer and don't stream a lot of graphical data. It's a vanishing proposition, especially since game developers are becoming accustomed to SSDs existing in average machines. In the future this might be a good pickup for retro gaming, like the much maligned NVIDIA FX series from about two decades ago is now.

I think the 680m is aiming at gtx 1050 levels of performance at minimum. So you should be good for 1080p 30fps in modern games (some will need FSR) and 1080p 60fps in older titles. This will be good for gaming laptops with large batteries as gaming on battery will be quite good. Even on gaming laptops with smaller batteries it'll still be good for on the go gaming.

I replaced my son’s gtx950 with this gpu and on his 900p monitor it runs all his games flawlessly. It’s painful to see prices the way they are….. I bought my rx570 new for $119 a couple years ago. But here we are. Its nice to see something in stock besides a $270 1050ti for entry level

this IS a bad card - worse than the 580s and 1060s of half a decade ago and lacking basic features like hardware video encoding. think of how many of these entry-level gamers will buy a 6500XT and be confused when it runs terribly on their gen 3 motherboard (not that performance on gen 4 is acceptable either)

@@ElderlyAnteater It's a new entry-level GPU when we've been waiting for them for 18 months. For someone who is waiting for GPU to finish a build, it's a godsend.

You can view multimedia fine with this card. I bought one for the LULZ and it's actually pretty decent.

These parts generally fail early on, or they don't fail for a long time outside of extenuating circumstances. In over 10 years, I can recall having to use warranty service on two GPU's. Both were fan issue. An easy fix even without a warranty. One I solved without any parts because I didn't want to send the card in over a fan. I buy used GPU's all the time to put in used systems and sell and I've bought more used GPU's in the last ten years than most people will buy in their lifetime. I've had zero problems buying used. Just buy from a reputable seller and test the card out when you get it, and if it doesn't fail within eBay's return window, it likely won't have a problem in a reasonable amount of time. I stand by what I said. The 580 4GB is a better option for less money. I feel that anyone with a Gen3 board should avoid it like the plague and anyone with a Gen4 board has better options for less money. Of course, I can only speak to the U.S. market.

@@tuckerhiggins4336 I feel they deserved the criticism. It's a laptop GPU clocked to hell and back with a big cooler slapped on top missing features that were supposed to be done by the iGPU part of the APU. It's pretty unacceptable at its aimed price point. Especially since most people at the lower end won't have PCIE 4.0. In an MSRP world the 6500xt would never be £179. Its closer to a £130 card for me. Manufacturers themselves are becoming the scalpers.

@@anurbanpenguin8890 That's a far point but considering the current market, I can see how it made sense for them to release such a weak product. I mean, this benefits consumers in a way, IMO, having more cards in the market means better pricing in general

Given the low GRAM and cut down features, I think this was AMD's attempt to make a card that was nigh unusable for mining in order for gamers to actually have an affordable card, while relying on system RAM to make up the rest of the necessary workload, especially with the upcoming DDR5 RAM. At that point though, they might as well just put more money into APU development.

A used GTX 1080 would be a better move. Twice the VRAM, much faster, excellent NVEnc, no PCIe issues. I got one for 255 UKP recently (fixed price from a server OEM). GTX 970 is still a great card though.

The issue is the x4 link width, pcie 4 is on every current gen card now.

@@SolarianStrike yea sorry that’s what I meant

i actually do have one in a pcie gen 2 system that i put together from stuff i had laying around and its an interesting beast, so long as you twiddle the settings so that it stays under 4gb memory usage it performs perfectly. but the moment it goes over that the performance tanks hard. In practice I'd say its no worse an experience than a gen 3 system though as in that case while the performance drop wouldn't be quite as bad, you'd probably still want to tweak settings to avoid it

and maybe haswell as well and compared with x16 rx 580 4GB or gtx1660, be interesting if you hit a CPU bottleneck or PCIe limit first, but that's a lot of work.

They’re already a rather niche product, most people just want dual or triple fan cards. Then, when you consider how little marketshare Radeon gpus have overall, it probably just isn’t worth it from a sales standpoint. I know there’s a powercolor single fan 6500 xt

That creates perception that the product is cheaply made and sucks, which AMD doesn't want with their already relatively low market share in GPUs

i miss single pci slot cards, those were super practical. A single slot 1070 exists believe it or not.

Well, they finally released single fan card, 6400.

totally true hahaha!!

Even LTT were praising the 6500XT when reviewing the 3050, in MSRP 3050 was the winner but in the real world 6500XT.

the 1650 is weaker than this card, the 1070 in the other hand a much better choice

But then again most of them lack the basics of IT and soly depend on applications to test without taking into thought how these applications test and what goes into the scoring process and what exactly is it testing for. Bench marks can be useful but they can also be skewed based off the developers who made them. They also don't take into account that software developers can be bought out, and in some cases like blender it is obvious to the point where they are heavily monitoring and censoring their forums on the minuet from posts asking why they support nvidia better than AMD, which commonly when they don't censor it out it is usually blaming AMD's "DRIVERS" despite the openCL issues were entirely on their implementation in cycles, and their refusal to upgrade it to a less buggy version that happened on Nvidia cards as well. Ps: I redid this because I felt my original comment went down too many rabbit holes.

if you have an rx 460 i feel like a ryzen 7000 apu would crush your gpu with good ram. maybe a 50% improvement. you should look into the steam deck as its power would be comparable to that of a ryzen 7000 apu, but keep in mind ryzen 7000 is zen 4 and the steamdeck uses zen 2

6500xt will be faster than any 7000 series apu, that's already been confirmed.

@@jamesmith5960 yeah but hes not looking for only games, he should go with something like a ryzen 7 7000 apu or ryzen 5 7000 apu for what he wants. the 6500xt doesn't meet his needs because it is pretty much just a gaming card. the gaming performance from the apu is more of an extra. the man is using a rx 460, i had a 560 that thing was awful and the 460 is worse than that,

@@jamesmith5960 the 6500 has no video encoder, lacks bus bandwidth on a gen 3 PCI-E system and is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. So it makes more sense to me to wait, upgrade Mobo, CPU and RAM , use the iGPU together with my old rx460 as 2nd GPU. If GPU prices stay like they are, then the platform upgrade wouldn't cost more than a midrange GPU in my country.

Doing the same

No you're not lmao

either this is a mega cope or a woefully ignorant comment
