About the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT GPU

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a desktop graphics card by AMD. It launched in Q1 2022 with a suggested retail price of $199. Its Navi 24 chip that powers the GPU uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture and is fabricated on the 6 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 4 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Its 2,248 MHz memory clock and 64 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 143.9 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The RX 6500 XT is a dual slot graphics card, taking up 2 PCIe slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 107 W. AMD recommends using a power supply of at least 300 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The Radeon RX 6500 XT has the 102nd highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.87% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 22,954 score and $199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 115.35. This is the 9th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the Intel Arc A770 GPU

The Arc A770 is a desktop graphics card by Intel. It launched in Q4 2022 with a suggested retail price of $329. Its DG2-512 chip that powers the GPU uses the Generation 12.7 architecture and is fabricated on the 6 nm process.

This GPU is paired with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Its 2,000 MHz memory clock and 256 bit interface gives it a bandwidth of 512 Gb/s. This impacts how much data it can store, and how fast it transfers the data to and from memory.

The Arc A770 is a dual slot graphics card, taking up 2 PCIe slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 display ports. This desktop card has a TDP of 225 W. Intel recommends using a power supply of at least 550 W with this card. A power supply lower than this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

The Arc A770 has the 36th highest 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 540 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 39.36% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 41,303 score and $329 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 125.54.
