Averages 30 FPS at 1440p over our 9-game suite, anchored estimate · 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles
30 Avg FPS Includes estimates
Nothing here is a measurement of this card. It is an anchored estimate built from the cards we have run ourselves, on the identical suite. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT averages 30 FPS. The ceiling is Baldur's Gate 3 at 46 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 14 FPS, a 3.3x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles. Under load we logged a peak of 103W against the 107W rating.

Denser than 84% of the 746 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
