ASUS AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT TUF GAMING OC 4GB Graphics Card

A TUF Piece of Kit The TUF Gaming Radeon™ RX 6500 XT is a tenacious beast with a tough metal exterior, efficient cooling, and components that offer enhanced endurance. An all-metal shroud houses two powerful axial-tech fans with dual ball fan bearings. Underneath, a thick heatsink keeps thermals under tight control and TUF components, selected for maximum durability and performance, keep the card ahead of the pack. You asked for a mean machine... this one is ready for action. The all-new breakthrough RNDA2 architecture is engineered to deliver powerhouse performance to all gamers. AMD Radeon™ RX 6500 XT graphics cards deliver serious 1080p gaming and impressive frame rates. The power of AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture is unleashed with up to 16 powerful graphics compute units, coupled with all ultra-high bandwidth AMD Infinity Cache™, and up to 4GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory.

Bigger, Better CoolingTwo tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a slimmed down barrier ring to provide better airflow through the cooling array increasing overall cooling efficiency as you ramp up the performance!​

Quiet CunningFans will only start spinning when the GPU temperature hits 57 Celsius and shut off when temps drop below 50 Celsius, helping to reduce noise when the system is idling or under light load and also increasing overall product longevity with the GPUs fans only running when it's absolutely necessary.

ARMORED UNDERSIDEThe underside of the card reveals further improvements. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. And a conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the card’s default performance profile without software.

Functional FrontThe front-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects, and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the Radeon RX 6500 XT, a 6-pin power connector is present, along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly.
