    • GPU Video Memory (RAM): 4 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a GPU’s, or graphics cards, short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the GPU can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, larger amounts of RAM for gaming or video editing increases performance.)
    • GPU Video Memory Type (RAM): GDDR6 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
    • Slot Size: 1-slot (A graphics card only requires one PCIe/PCI slot for connection to the motherboard but, depending on size, may block other slots. The slot size listed by the manufacturer is therefore not an exact measurement of the card's size but an indication of how much clearance will be available after it is installed.)
    • PCI Express Version: PCI Express 4.0
    • Product Height: 172 millimeters (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 112 millimeters (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Length: 42 millimeters (The out of box length of the item. Length is measured as the longest dimension of the item.)
    • Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT (Often referred to as a graphics card, a graphics processing unit (GPU) is the electronic circuitry responsible for manipulating and processing computer graphics/images and accelerating video decoding. Ultimately, a powerful GPU will provide a boost for anything involving visuals, including games, graphic design, and video editing.)

Q: Will this gpu work well with a ryzen 5 5500?

A: Yes, the RX 6500 XT MECH 2X 4G OC is compatible with a Ryzen 5 5500 system.

Q: Does it support Meta Quest or VR to be connected from this Graphics Card?

A: The Radeon RX 6500XT MECH 2X 4G OC does not meet the 8GB minimum VRAM requirement of the Meta Quest.

Q: Does this gpu work with a itx case and MSI PROH610M-GDDR4_PROH610M-BDDR4 motherboard? MSI - AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT Mech 2X 4G OC - 4GB GDDR6 - PCI Express 4.0

A: Depends on the itx case. The Radeon RX 6500XT MECH 2X 4G OC dimensions are listed as 172 x 112 x 42 mm.

Q: Would this be an upgrade from an rx-580 8-gb?

A: You are giving up half the memory switching to this card so the benefits may be negligible.

Q: Can I use this with a 300w power supply

A: The RX 6500 XT Mech 2X 4G OC is suggested to be paired with at least a 400W power supply.

Q: Does this have direct x 12 or does it not have it

A: Yeah it does but when I used this gpu it didn’t work so your better off getting a gpu that is quality
