The Helpful RX 6500 XT Review (40 Games Tested)

I put the Radeon RX 6500 XT through 11 Benchmarks and I tested around 40 Games. I tested PCIe 3 and PCIe 4 and Smart Access Memory (SAM). I also looked into ray-tracing, overclocking, and Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), and in some games, I've used FSR. My testing wasn't limited to Windows but also included Linux (PopOS). 00:00 Intro - some Good and some Bad 00:35 Overview and Approach 00:51 Test Systems 01:20 PCIe 3 and 4 / Smart Access Memory Benchmarks 02:22 Game Test Overview 02:46 Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (PCIe 3/4) 03:11 Age of Empires 2: DE 03:28 Apex Legends 03:49 A Plague Tale: Innocence (PCIe 3/4) 04:24 Batman Arkham City 04:41 Borderlands 2 (PCIe 3/4) 05:11 Control (PCIe 3/4) 05:55 CS GO 06:19 Cyberpunk 2077 (PCIe 3/4) 07:13 Destiny 2 07:32 Doom 2016 07:53 Doom Eternal (PCIe 3/4 & Linux) 08:24 DOTA 2 08:28 Elden Ring (PCIe 3/4) 09:23 Fortnite 09:45 Forza Horizon 5 (PCIe 3/4) 10:19 Genshin Impact 10:39 God of War (PCIe 3/4) 11:07 GTA 5 11:27 Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PCIe 3/4 & Ray-Tracing & RSR) 12:25 Horizon Zero Dawn (PCIe 4 & Linux) 13:03 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 13:31 League of Legends 13:46 Metro Exodus (PCIe 3/4 & Ray-Tracing) 14:15 Minecraft (PCIe 4 & Ray-Tracing) 14:31 PAYDAY 2 14:48 Quake 2 RTX (PCIe 4 & Ray-Tracing) 15:07 Rainbow Six: Siege 15:21 Red Dead Redemption 2 (PCIe 3/4 & Overclock) 16:14 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PCIe 3/4) 16:57 Team Fortress 2 (PCIe 3) 17:16 Valorant (PCIe 3) 17:34 Warframe (PCIe 3) 17:59 Witcher 3 18:28 Wolfenstein: Youngblood (PCIe 3/4 & Linux) 18:55 Conclusion
