Two games, Control and Doom Eternal, simply refused to enable ray tracing, probably because of the 4 GB VRAM size. Other titles are similarly affected: Watch Dogs Legion: -64%, Deathloop: -68%, Cyberpunk -75%.

For example, enabling ray tracing effects in Resident Evil Village 1080p dropped the FPS from an enjoyable 80 FPS to 7.5 FPS, a 91% loss.
We benchmarked ray tracing too in this review and saw massive performance drops. There's always the option to decode this content using the CPU, but for builders of a media PC, this probably disqualifies the Radeon RX 6500 XT.

Platforms like YouTube and Netflix are transitioning to that codec right now to avoid license costs for H.265. What's lacking is support for AV1 hardware decode, though.

The card has full support for the DirectX 12 Ultimate API, which includes ray tracing. In terms of features, the RX 6500 XT does check all the checkboxes, even forward-looking ones. AMD recently released their FSR upscaling technology, which will be able to help with FPS rates, but the image quality will still suffer. Even at that resolution, you will have to sacrifice some details, especially when considering future titles, which will certainly have increased GPU requirements.
Given our performance results, we can only recommend the RX 6500 XT for entry-level gaming at 1080p resolution. The difference between both cards is around 3% at 1080p-not a lot, certainly not something you should spend $20 or more for. Yesterday, we reviewed the ASUS TUF, which is a factory overclocked model, the Sapphire Pulse in today's review comes at stock clocks and is a better representation of baseline RX 6500 XT performance. Cards like the RTX 2060, Vega 64 or even RX 5600 XT are +50% faster-that's a huge difference. The Radeon RX 570 is 12% slower, and the GTX 1060 6 GB is 8% behind. AMD's new release really competes with aging designs from yesteryear: The Radeon RX 580 is roughly equal in performance, just like the GeForce GTX 1650 Super. Compared to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, the RX 6500 XT is roughly half (!) as fast-the difference between the numbers "6500" and "6600" is just 1%, on the other hand.

We are testing at Ultra settings, so you can definitely reach 60 FPS in most titles if you're willing to sacrifice some details, but why even bother with the PC if you do? Just buy a console if you can live with smeared-out textures and blocky geometry at a locked 30 Hz. Even at 1080p resolution, roughly half of our tested titles can't reach 60 FPS. Fewer traces on the PCB going from the GPU to memory reduce production cost and design complexity.Īveraged over all our performance benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6500 XT can't impress. The memory bus width is set to 64-bit, which is half that of the RX 5500 XT predecessor-another cost optimization.
It seems that cost-cutting was much more important for the RX 6500 XT. Historically, AMD has been very generous with their VRAM amounts for example, RX 6800 XT has 16 GB VRAM, whereas the competing RTX 3080 only has 10 or 12 GB. Probably the most controversial publicly visible specification is that AMD includes only 4 GB of VRAM on the RX 6500 XT. That's also part of the reason why everyone is so excited about the chiplet approach that brought tremendous success to AMD'S Ryzen processor line. If producing multiple smaller dies, you'd just throw away the one affected die and keep the rest. The bigger a chip, the higher the chance that a defect makes it onto that one chip. That's why it makes perfect sense for AMD to release entry-level designs first, as these use a physically small silicon die. Starting production with a new silicon node is always a challenging task, and initial defect rates are high. While going from 7 nm to 6 nm doesn't sound like much, it brings with it improvements to power efficiency and allows higher operating frequencies, and an 18% transistor density gain. The RX 6500 XT is the world's first graphics card using a 6 nanometer GPU. AMD has launched the Radeon RX 6500 XT yesterday, which was announced at CES just a few days ago.
