Yea, if people are not on Zen 2/Zen 3, with a 500 series chipset, 11th gen on a 500 series chipset, or 12th gen, they are hosed. Many budget systems are using B450 boards, with zen+ or zen2 chips. Many still rock an 8th-10th gen Intel, as well. This card is worthless for those people, and said people probably need to search the used market, for a better card, for a similar price. I have seen 1070's, on Ebay, for around $250, recently. 1650s for $150, and 1660's for $250. There are so many better options out there, right now.

Well done you listed some of those videos I debunked as trash and not real reviews. So they are irrelevant. You’ll have a hard time finding a good video on YouTube for this card, as most are just hypercritical andys who wanted to generate clicks based on hate.
That said, I don’t even like TPU but the best review is from TPU: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-6500-xt-pulse/
I recommend to read the summary completely and don’t skip a part of it to suit your own agenda. It’s a overall fair critical review, not a unfair one like these wannabes in YouTube.

Sorry but GN isn’t Jesus and he isn’t gospel. HUB isn’t even worth mentioning, this guy has obvious hate problems sometimes. I wouldn’t care too much about video reviews in general, written reviews are still easily better.

For YouTube videos I would only recommend this one:

the hard fact and truth is, at the end people who use it matter and not reviewers. And most reviews of this card are overwhelmingly 4 or 5 stars from users. So debate it to death or accept you never had a point. The 6500 XT is fine for what it is. A cheap card in times of expensive cards that does the job. Rendering pixels.


Yes, the consumer should be happy that a new GPU gets beaten by the previous generation card. Going backwards in performance is great for the consumer. We the consumer should also be thanking AMD for removing features that the previous generation card as well.
Even your TPU link showed it performing worse than the previous gen 5500xt. Trying to discredit some of the most trusted reviewers, really shows your fanboyism.
AMD missed on this one, it's ok to admit it. Intel and Nvidia all put out bad hardware now and then as well. It happens.
