The 8GB 6500XT from PELADN is a new entry-level graphics card based on the Navi 24 architecture. It features a dual-fan cooling solution, a full cover backplate, and two display connectors (HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4). The card has a 64-bit memory bus and a TDP of 107W. It also comes with factory overclocking, boosting its clock speeds from 2685/2825 MHz to 2695/2855 MHz for game and boost respectively.
The 8GB 6500XT from PELADN is available now for $229.99 on Newegg.ca. This is only $20 more than the 4GB version of the same card, which offers half the memory capacity. The card competes with other budget-oriented graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 1650 Super or the Radeon RX 5500 XT. However, it may struggle to deliver high performance in modern games due to its limited memory bandwidth and PCIe lanes.
