2022 Budget Gaming Graphics Card - Radeon RX 6500 XT Unboxing & Gaming Test

Good review! I got this GPU for my new build because it’s the only one available and I have no problems with it 😁

[@smokeyd300]

Nice!

Jejeje buen video amigo :) 👍

Thank you 🙏

just ordered this card to replace my RX 580 even tho it still decent but it's getting old and tired lol So it needs to rest since it done well during the pandemic so far I am impressed, can't wait till I get my hands on it.

[@prathamnangia7523]

Bro can you give me your rx580 pls

B450 AORUS ELITE RYZEN 3 2200G SHOULD I GO FOR IT if not then which gpu should i go 1080p ultra settings 70fbs

[@jerryspann8713]

It makes since that "Grass Quality" and other textures can slow down a game. When designing materials in Unreal Engine 4, the grass material templates are usually high res 4k images, for a tiny bit of grass. Multiple layers and frames of that type of material can literally slow down frame rates. When I design such materials, I use lower resolution images for the material.

[@Playtrack22]

Im so happy with card I got it for 70 bucks offer up now I finally upgrade it from gtx 750 ti. Byside I only played e sport and battlefield 4.

[@smokeyd300]

wow nice deal!

[@26DeislerFCB]

great card bought it for 160 € can play plenty of games in wqhd 60+ frames

[@bobbytech1552]

Can we pair this 6500xt with pci 3.0 x 16 slot?

[@jerryspann8713]

An idea for a video would be to compare the performance of the different brands of the 6500 xt.

[@smokeyd300]

That would be a good one.

[@putinninovacuna8976]

im poor so I'm just wanna play games at 1080p even 720p is fine to me so I don't give a dam about edition or streaming tbh this graphics saves my weekend 👍

[@smokeyd300]

This is all you need for 1080p gaming. There are a lot of cards that'll get the job done, but most of them are way too expensive in the current market.

[@MrDreamie]

Can u test the rx6500xt on Forza Horizon 5? On my rx470 I got avg 52 fps on 1080p High preset.

[@smokeyd300]

I don't own the game, but I'll see if i can get it. It's definitely a good game to test.

[@scalt7]

I have asus rog b560 G gaming wifi motherboard , Which is better this gpu or gtx 1650? Thanks

[@smokeyd300]

From my experience, they're very similar. However, you should consider the 1650 Super if you have the budget for it. If it's strictly between these 2, I'd go for the 6500XT. Good luck!

[@elbergonzalez6020]

U had problems with the driver? What versión u recommend me

[@smokeyd300]

I'm downloading the latest drivers using the AMD Radeon software.

[@iammememan2]

that gpu is monster on 1080p and not trash idk why they calling it trash gpu but for me and maybe to other that gpu is one of the best amd gpu it can compare on 1660super and 1660ti but more cheaper :> and iknow why amd did something to that gpu to get rid off the scalper

[@iammememan2]

@The Maverick lol even it's only have 4gb it's still a beast budget gpu And its more power full than 1650 super more likely it performing like 1660ti bruh and the pcie 3.0 is like gtx 1660 and thats why you can't call that gpu a trash

[@croissant2877]

Could you please tell me about the monitor shownn in the video

[@smokeyd300]

Yea, I actually made a whole video about it if you want to check it out. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWWbmIawfMaKi8U&lc=UgyMs8aYUcWnmceZc9l4AaABAg

@@smokeyd300 thank you so much , you just got a new subscriber

[@neverenoughguitars8276]

You basically got best case scenario performance with those two games. Fire up Cyberpunk 2077 or Doom Eternal and the limitations of this card rear their ugly head. With a 5600g your system only runs at PCIE 3.0 which in certain games like Doom Eternal and Cyberpunk and a few others really affects performance. But if you play around with your settings you can still make those games look good and perform at 60fps. Great video!

[@smokeyd300]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be testing out more games in the full review.

[@apostolis0exe223]

Where is the graphic card software or do we've to download the graphic card software?

You can and should download the software. If you Google the name of the graphics card, the link will show up from the amd website.

The 3050 will be interesting. I hope I can get my hands on it for a video.

[@oldmanwithers4565]

I have this card and if you have realistic expectations and know its weakness it actually does fine. However you're planning to run it on pcie 3.0, so if where you live a 1650 can be had new at a similar press I would seriously pause and way up the best option for you out of the two.

[@bountybannanahunter8794]

will ryzen 5 3600 work with that gpu on pcie. 4.0 ?

[@smokeyd300]

Not sure about the 3600. I know the 5600G from the video does not support pice 4.0

[@hyperlite6558]

yea since its a 3000 series cpu. just need a 500 series motherboard to use pcie 4.0

can i run 6500xt with cv450 psu?

[@smokeyd300]

Yes, a 450w power supply should be fine. If you plan on adding more components or overclocking, you may want to consider getting a 500 or 600w psu.

[@Matthew.S_3]

Luckily most of the stuff people complain about, I dont need. My monitor is a 1080p 144hz monitor, and my PC is older, and my old GPU was a AMD Radeon 550/550 series. Also hahaha i ruined it, you had 69 comments and now you have 70.

[@alfiandy4494]

Ryzen 5 5600G doesn't have pci-e gen 4.

[@smokeyd300]

You're right.

[@smokeyd300]

I've also heard that the gaming performance with pcie gen 4 won't be much different than 3.0... however, if you're using you're graphics card for video editing and rendering, the difference may be more noticeable since it'll also work well with fast m.2 SSDs

[@roqeyt3566]

@@smokeyd300 10 months late but... It really depends on the game Every GPU takes a hit from going from PCIe 4.0 to 3.0, some games just have it more than others and the rx 6500 xt is hit double as hard by it
