PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6500 XT AXRX 6500XT 4GBD6-DH/OC graphics card

Entry 4GB RDNA 2 card for 1080p gaming

The PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6500 XT delivers 1024 stream processors and a 2820 MHz boost clock on a 64-bit GDDR6 interface. It targets builders who want a compact ATX board for 1080p titles without a large power budget. The 107W TDP and single 6-pin connector keep cabling simple in smaller cases. This refurbished unit carries the Fighter series black dual-fan cooler.

Step up from integrated graphics or older 2GB cards

Moving from integrated graphics or a 2GB entry board adds 4GB of dedicated VRAM and PCI Express 4.0 bandwidth for modern texture streaming. The jump is worth it when your current GPU cannot hold 1080p medium settings in current titles. The 18.0 Gbps memory clock and 2650 MHz game clock provide headroom for higher frame rates. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 support ensure API compatibility with new engines.

Fits compact builds with a 400W supply

The 191 mm length and 2-slot width suit most mid-tower and some small-form-factor chassis. One HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 drive a high-refresh 1080p monitor or a dual-display desk. A 400W PSU with a 6-pin cable is the only external power requirement. The short PCB leaves room behind the card for cable routing or additional airflow.
