Rigid Industrial Backplate
Bend the rules, not the card! Reinforcing the full length of the 6500XT Mech 2X is a clean brushed finished backplate to increase the overall rigidity of the GPU, as well as protecting the sensitive internal components and aiding with passive heat dissipation.
Cutting-Edge Dual Fan Thermal Design
TORX FAN 3.0 The award-winning MSI TORX Fan 3.0 design keeps the limits of thermal performance turning. Fan blades alternate between traditional blades and dispersion blades that focus and accelerate airflow into the heatsink.
THERMAL PADDINGStay frosty with an abundance of thermal padding which provide additional heat dissipation for board components.
TOTALLY COOL CORE PIPESThis incredible design spreads the heat a long the full length of the heatsink for superior cooling.
CHILLINGLY SILENTZero Frozr is the calm before the storm, it keeps fans still and maintains silence until cooling is needed.
MSI Afterburner
Take Control of Your GraphicsMSI Afterburner is the most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking software in the world. Take full control of the graphics card while monitoring key system metrics in real-time. It’s free to use and compatible with most other vendor graphics cards.

AMD FidelityFX
Contrast Adaptive SharpeningOFF
Contrast Adaptive SharpeningON
Bring Out All The DetailContrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) helps increase visual quality by enabling stunning visual sharpness with optional upscaling to restore detail lost after Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) is applied. For games that support FidelityFX CAS, turning off Radeon™ Image Sharpening in Radeon™ Software to avoid over-sharpening is recommended.
Shading Rate OverlayOFF
Shading Rate OverlayON
Get Performance with QualityUsing RDNA2 architecture and variable rate shading allows fidelityFX to analyse luminance and motion of frames to help optimise rending to ensure you also get optimal performance without reducing image quality.
Ambient OcclusionOFF
Ambient OcclusionON
Realistic Geometry ShadingAMD RDNA™ architecture-optimized Combined Adaptive Compute Ambient Occlusion (CACAO) dynamically and efficiently helps improve the appearance of objects based their exposure to ambient light.
Screen Space ReflectionsOFF
Screen Space ReflectionsON
High-Quality Realistic ReflectionsAMD’s implementation of Stochastic Screen Space Reflections (SSSR) delivers high-quality reflections with minimal overhead via an optimised compute shader and AMD RDNA™ architecture-optimised denoising.
DenoiserOFF
