Customers commend the SPEEDSTER QICK210 AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card for its performance and affordable price, frequently citing excellent performance at a competitive cost. However, some users express concern regarding the limited VRAM, noting that it may restrict performance in certain scenarios. The card's value proposition is highlighted by its price, particularly for budget-conscious gamers. While sufficient for many users, the 4GB VRAM capacity is a potential drawback for those needing more memory.

Really affordable and great for a entry build. Playing on low settings is really good but playing in medium settings gets toasty. Be sure to make airflow in your case & adjust settings in its software. I’m sitting around 70 degrees Celsius at 50% fan speed while gaming. Idle temps stays around 30-40 degrees. Overall I think it’s a good card.

The 6500xt gets a bad rep but it's an absolute powerhouse and available at a low cost. I only recommend using on PCIE gen 4.0. I paired it with an 11400f and 16gb of 3200mhz for a budget rig for the kids. Even with some tweaking and FSR, you can run games like God of War and RDR2 as well as older titles and esports. Very happy with this card for the cost. More vram could be nice but really, if your buying this card your on a budget and beggers cant be choosers. Very pleased with its performance.

This is a budget GPU. It runs games at 1080 or 1440 just fine. If you keep within the 4GB budget of VRam it does great. Once you pass that, you may have some issues with performance. This GPU is pretty power efficient. If you do have a game you are having trouble running, you can always use RSR to scale up with AI in AMD's driver to make any game work and look pretty good. FSR of course is also available for use in select titles. Yes, there is no encoder, but OBS will allow you to use your CPU. I recorded some game footage last night without issues.
I'm using a 12100F, a budget B660 motherboard, and 16 GB of ram. I'd say that's a pretty decent budget setup, and it even has PCIE 4 support so there is no performance penalty.

Lemme tell you, this thing is better than the internet makes it out to be. It does what it's advertised to do; 1080p gaming a High-Ultra settings. Sure it can't do 1440p or 4k, but does that really matter? Heck, I'm perfectly fine with 720p! Only issue I have had with this card is the inability to use Oculus Link with my Quest 2, but I easily found a workaround. That leads me to my other point; this card is pretty good at running VR. Now I wouldn't recommend heavy games like Half-Life: Alyx, but games like Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR run pretty good on this card. If you desperately need a graphics card for VR, this is probably gonna be your best bet. Also, this card has ray-tracing capabilities, but not very good ones. So don't buy this card JUST FOR ray-tracing.

This is a plenty capable, highly efficient card which beats it's older brothers (Polaris based cards) for a similar price. It doesn't have an onboard encoder, but are you really buying a budget card for streaming? If you need pro results, go further and spend pro money. Otherwise, pair this with a 3000 series AMD in a B550 and get the full performance out of it. People complained that it didn't make sense for budget gamers, but you can get a B550 for close to the same price as a B450. Just upgrade your board guys. It's not that hard. That or an 11th Gen. Intel setup. ***** My only complaint is that all AMD cards underneath a certain price point have budget fans. This is no exception.

i paired this with my AMD 3600XT, 3dmark time spy scored it 4905. i have an RX 580 8gb which has a score of 4266. playing Warzone on RX 580, i get 55-65 fps on high. 50-55 fps on high using the 6500XT. from here you can judge that the RX 580 is still better simply because it has an extra fps and has 8 gb ram. you can't really rely on benchmarks these days. also, it only use a 6 pin power as compared to the RX 580 that uses 8+6 pin. fans are quiet and the gpu is cool, which amazes me because the fan is not spinning on idle. i thought at first the fans are not working. as i've said, buy it only if you need a gpu, else, wait for prices to come down and get stocked on other gpu's

I love this card, but I did regret my purchase. I should of bought the rx 6600 8gb instead of the 4gb 6500 xt. Althought the 6500 xt can run many games 1080p 150+fps on low which was my intention, the 6600 is twice as better with compatibility of the built in amd clipping software that the rx 6500 xt doesnt have. The rx 6500 xt is a great card but I beieve spending a little more for the rx 6600 is worth the investment

Many gaming snobs say that this card is junk. A lot of people complain that they can't record with it. However, it runs all my games at medium to high settings at 60fps or more. I am using pci 3.0 and it doesn't seem to have any performance issues. GPU usage is usually 60%. Overall its a good budget card and it suits me just fine. Better than the on-board graphics on the i5 10400.
