Graphics Card PowerColor Radeon RX 6500 XT 4GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0, 2610/2815 MHz, 64-bit, 2-slot, 2-fan, HDMI 2.1 + DP1.4

PowerColor Radeon RX 6500 XT is a compact discrete graphics card based on the Radeon RX 6500 XT GPU. It provides 1024 stream processors, 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64‑bit bus, PCI Express 4.0 interface and supports resolutions up to 7680 x 4320. The card uses a dual‑fan active cooling solution in a 2‑slot design and offers HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.

Advantages

The card delivers a balance of compact size and modern connectivity, including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, enabling high‑resolution output. GDDR6 memory with an 18 Gbit/s transfer rate and a 64‑bit memory bus support responsive texture and frame handling for entry‑level to mainstream gaming. The dual‑fan active cooler keeps temperatures under control in small form‑factor builds while the PCIe 4.0 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for current GPUs.

Suitable for

• Compact gaming PCs and small form‑factor builds
• Multimedia systems and 4K/8K video playback
• General desktop use with occasional gaming or GPU‑accelerated tasks
