No, despite its higher price point of $207, the Radeon RX 6500 XT proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, Arc A580 has 118.6% better 3DMark score compared to Radeon RX 6500 XT.
When venturing into the second-hand market, the Radeon RX 6500 XT proves to be a cost-effective choice. It successfully edges out the Radeon RX 5500, the next alternative in this price range, showing a benchmark performance lead of 4.0%.
Recommended PSU for the RX 6500 XT: about 400 W — the card draws 107 W, a CPU such as the Intel Core i3-12100F about 60 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
