OcUK RX6500XT review thread
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
Behave it's similar to a 1060, 1650 or even a 980.
Target market isn't modern games at maximum details, it's gamers playing Fortnite and the like
Its far from similar, those gpus are all running 40-60fps whereas the 6500XT is single digits so clearly there are issues. whats the point in buying a card which only works properly in half your games.
The card that HUB says you should buy instead, which at the time was a 5 year old used GPU with no warranty..... is worse.
We, i include my self in this... all need to chill out over this budget GPU. Its a bit silly isn't it?
Is the 1060, the 570/580 also completely useless?
There's always Intel. Right?
Wake me up when HUB learn to use the FSR button! Seems that HUB likes to forget that AMD designed the 6500xt to use FSR, https://youtu.be/tt0J0F3ZvH0?t=241Its far from similar, those gpus are all running 40-60fps whereas the 6500XT is single digits so clearly there are issues. whats the point in buying a card which only works properly in half your games.

Why does this even still exist? just let it die, it crewel to go on torturing the poor thing.

I told Steve to stop using FSR and DLSS in his benchmarks, we want to see native results
He didn't full comply, https://youtu.be/DNX6fSeYYT8?t=1071
The Nvidia 4070 got some benchmarks with DLSS (that is such a big selling point for the 4070) but the poor AMD 6500xt wasn't allowed to use FSR!

Sure as long as RT is also turned on as its only done then. Or like with Callisto protocol when FSR is on by default.
Running the card at 1080p FSR (720p) to try and make a card look good is absurd. It wouldn't even look good as all the other cards also running at 720p will jump up significantly.

Need a comparison with the 4GB model!
But running a card at 4k dlss perf (1080p) to make a card look good is ok? Thats the rtx4090 in cp2077 with uber rt
That makes it into the overall card comparisons? No it doesn't.
The only place that is shown is for RT only comparisons. 1080p is also significantly better than 720p. But sure, to appease you can ask them to throw the 6500 XT into the mix.
Using FSR/DLSS at 1080p without even RT, is ridiculous. Also wouldn't even help the 6500 XT move up the ordering.

Thanks for not actually understanding my reply. Using any upscaling isnt a`valid` comparison.
I understand that is what you think. But HUB don't use those in their overall comparisons. Project Callisto is the only game that gets it, because the developer has turned it on by default.
However, showing no benchmarks with upscaling ever, even as an aside, also doesn't make sense. So it makes sense that if for some reason you wanted to cripple your frame rates in some games with RT, you might want to turn on upscaling.

Nvidia/AMD produce a range of products, at different price points, with difference performance targets. If people don't think that the 6500xt has enough performance then AMD and Nvidia will gladly sell them a more expensive card with a higher profit per card. For some people the 6500xt enables them to play the games that they want to play at max settings with good frame rates for under £150, eg Elder Scrolls Online, so why pay more?

The 3070 was advertised as a 1440p ray tracing card, which people paid hundreds of pounds for, it is not even playable at only high settings at 1080p with the said ray tracing in some games
Pleased I didn't spend hundreds of pounds buying a 3070 believing Nvidia's claims, when it cannot even always show full textures at 1080p high with ray tracing. The 3070 has to run with 1080p high raytracing and dlss to try and look good which you state is absurd, yet it is sold and priced as a 1440p card
