PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT ITX Gaming Graphics Card with 4GB GDDR6 Memory

Just like my 3080 12GB it’s quiet. It stays between 70c under load . I get over 150fps at max settings on 1440p. The hellhound wins for half the money you get better performance than a 4090. Pros : + Card contains a huge heat sink with 8 copper heat-pipes for high cooling + in hot summer.. Temperature does not exceed 63c at 100% usage.. and with a OC it does reach 67c + Fans speed are quiet and even with OC it's barely audible + Watt consumption around 360w & the max OC is 415w, while other models with OC consume around 460w (less watts = less heat) + The fans have cyan and violet lights, and they can be turned off if you don't like them + The card came with a small holder (the card is huge, so you need to put a small holder under it to reduce weight and heaviness so that it does not affect the motherboard) + Aluminum back cover to dissipate heat and help hold the card together + The price of the card is cheaper than other cards of the same class, as well as its cooling is very excellent for its price + Better than Sapphire Pulse.. which have smaller heatsink (Pulse have 6 heat-pipes Vs Hellhound 8 heat-pipes) & more aggressive annoying fans (Pulse 1600RPM Vs Hellhound 1200RPM).. it's like 5c less temps compared to Pulse, while it's like 9c if U match it with1600RPM speeds Negatives: - Needs excellent case fans, given that all cards that exceed 300w or higher cause heat to the internal parts - As far as I know.. majority of modern high-end cards contain Coil whine.. and it is cannot be heard unless you are very close to the case.. and coil whine is also present with NVIDIA cards as well Final Note: The card is worthy and considered a class 3080 & sometimes it's beat 3080 by a little margin, it comes with 24GB Vs 12GB of RTX 3080, which is something that will benefit you in modern games and upcoming heavy games, 750w is the minimum .. But if you have a high wattage processor like 12700k or beyond, than you may need 800w, and it needs a Mid Tower case or bigger, because the length of the card is 32cm (big but not huge like Merc310 which is like 35cm) The card is worth it as long as it does not exceed the official price or less.. and sometimes you can get it for less than the official price, but it is preferable to buy it if you have a 4k screen, and it is not suitable for regular 1080p screens.. after all, this is high-end GPU which is 2nd strongest card in performance after 4090 (7900xtx is more like OC 4080 with RT off)

This card is a bit of mixed bag. If you judge it for what it is - and not what it could have been if AMD tried harder - it's arguably the overall best choice in a new budget card and/or if looking for lower power consumption. It is a sad commentary on the state of budget cards that this counts as probably the best. But there simply is no competition in this segment. Nvidia has done a new budget card in 5-6 years. As far as 3D (games) performance goes this card is about as fast as Nvidia's GTX 1060 and AMD's Radeon 570/580 . Cards released in 2016/2017. The GTX 1650 (released 2019) is a bit slower but if you search you can find versions of that card that can run on the PCIe bus alone - no extra power cable needed. Appealing if upgrading an older computer with a modest power supply. My primary goal was finding the overall best combination of low power draw and still decent performance. The RX 580 can be had new here on Amazon for around $110. Performance is close but it it's rated at 185 watts and under stress pushes 200 watts. The RX 570 cannot be found new but lots of used on eBay. A claimed 120 watt power draw but they lie. The real world power consumption is very close to the RX 580. The GTX 1060 is probably faster than any of the other cards I've mentioned (not by much) but is rated at 180 watts and while a six year old design is still more expensive than any of the cards mentioned, including the RX 6500 XT being reviewed. A few other things. Nvidia cards are well known to stress 3D performance above 2D. So if you primarily play games the Nvidia cards are good to look at. But if you are doing a lot of picture editing or content creation, the 2D scores of Nvidia cards are notably lower. And AMD's cards are well known to suck substantially more power when using a two monitor set up versus a single monitor. One of the appeals of the RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT - for me - is that power consumption for two monitors remains very reasonable. So anyway.... This card - the RX 6500 XT - is basically the little engine that could. It performs substantially better than you would think looking at the specs. Yes, only PCIe 4x lanes and running PCI 3 vs PCI 4 lowers performance. Yes, a narrow PCI bus (64 bit) and only 4GBs of memory. But the memory is extremely fast. And the clock speed of the GPU itself is extremely high. So if you keep game settings moderate so as to not exceed the 4GB onboard memory, this card delivers. Also of interest is that if your motherboard supports it, you can help this card a lot with faster system memory. Actually, AMD's cards seems especially found of faster memory. I'm running DDR 4 4000MHz memory on PCIe 3.0 and synthetic benchmarks are all 10-15% faster than normal for PCIe 4.0. Power draw - something really important to me just a hobbyist - is also appealing. The smaller brother RX 6400 only draws 53 watts and never needs an extra power connector. But it has just been cut back to much and is.... well .... not fast. Nvidia's GTX 1650 is rated at 75 watts (maximum for PCIe only) but is difficult to hard to find not requiring an extra power connector. This card, the RX 6500 XT - is rated at 107 watts and does require an extra six pin power connector. But my on tests using a watt meter (total system draw) and those of professional reviewers all say the same thing. The RX 6500 XT isn't using a lot of power. Single monitor idle is 2 watts. Dual monitor is 10 watts. Running games it is rarely above 85 watts and max at 100. Even if your computer is older and power supply low wattage, you can probably get a four to six pin adaptor and run this card. Overall, the card strikes a good balance between price, performance and power consumption. Sure, it would be a lot better card with 6 or 8GB of memory. Or more PCIe lanes and faster bus. Or both. But then consumers would probably have no reason to purchase the more expensive (and still a great value) RX 6600. At least AMD tries to offer a couple of new budget cards. Something Nvidia hasn't bothered with for a long, long time.

The Hellhound is fairly thick so be wary of that since it blocks the second x16 PCIE slot on ATX boards. My particular unit doesn't seem to like heavy undervolts but it runs great at stock settings and the clockspeeds are typically higher than 2700 mhz. The stock fan speed is a bit too slow though-I definitely recommend tweaking the fans so the card runs cooler. Otherwise it can reach near 90°c J.temps / 70°c Edge temps. But it does so at only 1200rpm. At 1600rpm or so I still couldn't hear the card over my 140mm CPU fans. And the temps were good. About 80 J.temp/ 62 E.temp on 360 watts. Main issue with the card is that the backplate gets VERY warm while gaming. In general the GPU produces a lot of heat as is expected with a 300+ watts card. The heatsink is fairly exposed as well. This affects my CPU temps and is only mitigated by adding an extra exhaust fan or opening the side panel after long gaming sessions. Otherwise your case will get very hot so make sure your airflow is good. As for coil whine it's definitely audible but not too bad. Can't hear it with my headphones. It's only audible when you go above 150 fps~ but some units are better than others

ADVERTENCIA: La base que incluye para sostenerla tarjeta obstruye facilmente el movimiento de un abanico, recomiendo ampliamente ponerlo en la esquinita, por que aunque la pongas normal y a simple vista no obstruye, creeme que no permite que las aspas giren, no se arriesguen y ponganlo en la esquinita. Tenia un gabinete chiquito con poca respiracion al frente Delta Corsair RGB, no era suficiente ventilacion, la tarjeta llegaba a 99c en la parte mas caliente del gpu, al poner la mano encima del gabinete se tocaba hirviendo. Una pesadilla por que el estudio se sentia como un sauna. Luego cambie por una Lancoool 216 RGB y bajo como 15 a 10 grados dependiendo el juego, ahora lo maximo que se calienta es a 90 centigrados una parte del gpu, la otra queda en 70 o 80 grados, lo cual es una temperatura muy respetable, este gabinete le da mejor ventilacion y le puse un abanico extra que agarre aire de abajo y se lo aviente hacia arriba.Aclaro que no alguna ventilacion liquido, es solo de aire, mi cpu tiene un bequiet, los dos abanicos al frente uno abajo y otro tras. El Hellhound es mas frio que el Devil, por lo que no tendras problemas si noe s liquida tu ventilacion. El gpu hace ruido al jugar al maximo, pero no es molesto el ruido, ya que tenia un Ps4 y vaya que sonaba como avion con los ultimos juegos como god of war, ese si hace ruido en verdad. El psu que te recomiendan es de 800 watts y estuve usando uno de 750 watts, no exploto pero se sentia en ratos que jaloneaba, lei por ahi que el problema con estas nuevas tarjetas de gama alta tanto amd como nvidia, son picos de potencia espontaneos. Por lo que cambie de psu a uno de 1200 watts Thermalwake y ha trabajado de maravilla, incluso algunas temperaturas bajan mas, procesando cosas normales como youtube y trabajos de diseño la temperatura ronde de 40 a 50 grados en verano, supongo que en invierno van a ser mas bajas por vivir en el norte donde hay un caloron. Batalle en acostumbrarme al nuevo software, por ejemplo habia juegos que solo me daba 90 frames y moviendole a los settings de la tarjeta aun en ultra pudo jugar BF2042 a 160 fps todo en ultra a 1440p. He estado usando la tarjeta en undervolt, yestos son los resultados que me dan. No me interesa mucho el overclock aun por que siento que tiene que pulirlo mas el driver. Los nuevos drivers hace que consuma menos watts en idle, es decir al estar en computadora encendida sin jugar. Si tienes televisor LG o alguna otra marca con VRR, es la mejor tarjeta, nunca batallo siempre la detecta a la primera, con mi rtx 3070 anterior habia veces que tenia que desconectar una y otra vez en cada puerto hasta que la reconociera. Aqui no hay ese problema siempre la detecta sin fallo alguno. Recomendacion: Si tu gabinete cabe muy apenas la tarjeta, por milimetros, si tu psu es bajo, recomiendo actualizarlos antes de cambiar a xtx, ya que demandan mucho espacio para ventilacion y buena fuente d epoder para estabilidad, si tienes gabinete pequeño y un psu de 750 watts todo esta bien para la 7900 xt.

für gut 80,-€ super Leistung, nutze die Karte für WOT, dort reicht es problemlos für die höchste Auflösung

I have had several 7900 xtx cards, mostly sapphire nitro +. I needed a smaller card for a new build and they are to large. I tried the power color red devil spectral 9070xt and it is way to long. Insert the hellbound 7900xtx. It's only a 2 x8 pin power card which is surprising but can pull over 350 watts with ease. After my system not recognizing the card and some sweaty panic moments thinking I bought a dudd, I managed to delete all the amd software and start fresh. Working now 100 percent and seems to perform as good as the sapphire cards. Overall I am happy with this card for performance vs cost as a 4090 is unobtainium these days. For reference my case is a thermal take tower 500 and this card fits with around 3 mm of clearance for length. Phew!

carte graphique puissante mais le logiciel qui va avec crash régulièrement et ne semble pas être prévu pour les jeux de plus la fenêtre au lancement des jeux est gênante et inutile et ne peut pas être désactivé. Si vous jouer acheter une carte gforce car elles sont plus performante en jeux et ne présente aucun des problèmes que vous aller rencontré avec cette carte graphique.

Do 4 anziché 5 per la povertà di documentazioni allegate "neanche tipo un francobollo" spartani al 100%- Qualche indicazione sulla scatola poi, verosimilmente lo scopo è vai su sito e troverai. Da una parte meno sprechi ma dall'atra un senso di "smarrimento" . Per il resto avendo usato solo e sempre NVIDIA sarò curioso di vederne i risultati vivendo.
