Entry 1080p Gaming GPU
The ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT OC is a graphics card built for 1080p gaming. It uses the AMD RDNA 2 architecture with 1024 Stream Processors and 4GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus. The card connects through a PCI Express 4.0 interface and offers one HDMI 2.1 port plus one DisplayPort 1.4a output for two displays.
Budget Builders Not Content Creators
This card suits gamers on a tight budget who play at 1080p with moderate settings. It is not aimed at content creators or users needing high memory bandwidth for 1440p or 4K workloads. The 64-bit memory interface and 4GB capacity limit performance in texture-heavy titles or professional applications.
64-Bit Memory Bus Decides Fit
The 64-bit memory bus is the specification that determines whether this GPU fits your build. Combined with 4GB GDDR6 at 18 Gbps, it defines the card's bandwidth ceiling for 1080p gaming. If your workload needs wider memory throughput, you should look at a different model.

Questions about this item
Will this card fit in a compact case with only one slot available?
The Dual design uses a two-slot bracket, so you need two adjacent expansion slots at the rear of the chassis.
What power connector does the card require and is an external cable needed?
The board draws power through a single 6-pin PCIe connector; your power supply must provide that cable.
Can I drive two 1440p monitors at high refresh rates with the available ports?
Yes, the HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a outputs each support 1440p at high refresh rates for a dual-monitor setup.
