This RX 6500 XT Comparison Was A Terrible Idea...

Comparing the AMD RX 6500 XT to pretty much the only other graphics card in stock for the same price, the Nvidia Quadro T600.

The 6500XT is serviceable so long as you stay away from the VRAM limit. It's the connection between the GPU and the system memory that's suffering from the limitation. And all of the issues stem from it being a laptop GPU that was amputated from it's APU and slapped on a PCB.

“What was AMD thinking?”
Probably something along the lines of ‘The GPU market is wretched right now that our customers will buy anything they can get their hands on’

[AlyxSharkBite-]

The 6500XT was pulled from the mobile segment where it was supposed to be paired with an iGPU on the mobile platform where the iGPU would do the encoding to save space and optimize power. So it got kinda left off the thing. Like oof AMD

You are so underrated such high quality content regularly and not even 1 million subs I surely thought you had 2-3 million subs

"Looks like it's on Steroids and Horse Tranquillisers" Had me burst out a laugh. Always like the sarcasm and jokes like these in the vids

That T600 is pretty damn good for a 40w SFF card. Shame it's price point is still highly inflated.

I've been watching vids on the T600 for a while, pretty cool that a bigger tech Youtuber is also doing a video on it. It's basically the successor to the GTX 1050

What is making me laugh at the moment here in the UK, is that all those high-end graphics cards that were unobtainable will very soon be flooding the second hand market. The reason? Well, we are just about about to hit a huge energy crisis where electricity will increase by a whopping minimum of at least 50%. Where once those mining rigs where making a tidy profit, on April 1st the cost of mining will not be so economical.

As far as I know, the 6500XT was originally supposed to be a low end laptop DGPU which was going to end up paired with mobile Ryzen CPUs and not need to have an encoder at all. Or that many video outputs.

Saw the title, immediately thought: "Is he going to run it at Gen 4 or Gen 3?". Thanks for showing both, the intro for that section was fantastic. Thanks.

As a fan of small form factor builds, I really wish there were more low-profile options like the T600.
I'm a bit disappointed that the 6500XT beat it so soundly since they're the same price, but in all fairness the T600 was intended to be used as an incredibly efficient workstation card at only 40W, and not as a gaming card. It also has Nvidia's encoding tech and 4 DP outputs.

I have the next model down, the NVIDIA T400. I think it is great. Yes really! My use case is video encoding via NVENC. The T400 is a wonderfully cheap hardware video encoder. Try buying a CPU or GPU with the same encoding performance as the T400. You do have check out T400 prices as they vary hugely. Yes the 6500XT doesn’t have a video encoder which is why I would never buy it.

It is 9 in the morning where I live (the Netherlands) on a Friday and this really puts a smile on my face! Thanks Dawid!

I’ve also tested and used the 6500XT and it’s better then you and other reviewers say it is. It wasn’t met to be a high end GPU. The community asked for a GPU they could actually buy, new, under $300 that could game. It’s new, mostly under $300 and yes it can game. Funny how there isn’t as many people complaining about the RTX 3050 which Nvidia stripped down. Seems they get a pass?

I have a 6500xt it runs most games 120 fps, some on 90 and a few (apex) at 60 on all high so I mean it's not bad if your on a budget.

[autobusa]

This is the only new GPU many people can afford at the moment. Gaming performance is ok.

[analogidc]

I wish it had of been cheaper to buy, but my previous card died last week. So for me the RX 6500 is doing it's job and I didn't have to sell my car and house to buy a better one at the time I needed a GPU.

[SeanehKelleh]

6500xt doesnt have a video encoder because it's not a desktop gpu by design. they syphoned off gpus meant for laptops which would be paired with apu's which already have encoders so the gpu didn't need them.

they just assumed the market was so bricked they'd get away with it.

[toxicboa]

my 1060 is holding its shit together and I'm pretty shocked how much its gone through, these newer cards won't age well

[Gary_Hun]

We are really at a point where it is getting laughable to see gaming reviewers smirk at cards for being not the absolute cutting edge top of the line. Who cares if it's 90 or 190fps? If you were at least a 3d artist or something...
