AMD's $199 RX 6500 XT lacks some key hardware features like sufficient PCIe width and media support. In this article, I discuss why the cut-down RX 6400 would have been a better DIY release instead.
TechPowerUp, the GPU-Z GPU utility toolmaker, has put out a PSA explaining that the software's current versions are misidentifying the Radeon RX 6500 XT's PCIe width as x16 instead of x4.
AMD's new Navi 23-based budget cards, the Radeon RX 6500 XT and the RX 6400 are limited to just four channels of PCIe bandwidth. The cards also lack AV1 decoding and H.265/ HEVC encoding support.
