Details of a new AMD Radeon gaming GPU have seemingly just appeared, but it looks like one to avoid if you’re looking for a budget graphics card for gaming. The GPU in question is the AMD Radeon RX 6500 (without the XT on the end), which hasn’t been officially announced by AMD, but the leaked specs paint a picture of an underpowered Radeon RX 6500 XT with lower clock speeds and slower memory.
There are many reasons why you won’t find the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT on our best graphics card guide, not least the fact that it’s based on tech that’s now two generations old, using the RDNA 2 GPU architecture. Perhaps more importantly, though, this GPU was also massively underpowered when it came out in January 2022. AMD wouldn’t even send me one for review then, and neither would any of its board partners.
