Features

Performance

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.

A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.

Ports

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.

Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.

Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.

Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.

Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.

General info

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.

When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.

The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.

What is the RX 6500 equivalent to?

The genesis and “reason for existing” of the Radeon RX 6500 XT make it a non-suitable competitor for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050. Yes, they both are entry-level recent releases, but the similarities stop there.

What does 6500 XT compare to?

And the winner is… It's a no-brainer to call Nvidia's RTX 3050 the better all-around, entry-level GPU compared to AMD's RX 6500 XT. Standard and ray tracing performance are significantly higher, and the RTX 3050 supports both encoding and decoding for AV1 and H265/HEVC.

Is a GTX 1650 better than RX 5500?

AMD claims that the RX 5500 XT (8GB) is ~15-20% faster than the GTX 1650 Super, all the while offering twice as much VRAM for running the latest games with ultra textures. This 10-game benchmark test suite should give you a better idea of where the two 1080p graphics cards stand with respect to one another.

Is a 6500 graphics card good?

Assuming you can actually purchase the Radeon RX 6500 XT for $199, or at least somewhat close to it, it's not a bad card. It's not better than a GTX 1650 Super, and the Nvidia GPU tends to pull ahead at higher quality settings, but it will suffice for games that don't need more than 4GB VRAM.
