I disagree with the 7800xt part tho. Yea naming scheme is as always manipulative but its not that bad... There is no bad product. only bad pricing. And the new card is the same as its older counterpart. BUT its 200 dollars lower on MSRP which is a huuge difference. completely going away from its older brothers price range. Its the same debait as the RX7/RX8 one is much slower but its half the money at launch times. And compared to 4060 and 4060ti which fails on both counts to be good priced and not be a manipulative 50 tier Die parading as a 60 tier product. Its value proposition of 7800xt is good
6500xt is a bad product.
It's one of the most efficient cards out there, about twice the performance/watt of Nvidias offerings in the price bracket, and the price is low enough that it doesn't matter much that the gaming performance isn't great. For someone that needs a cheap GPU for an HTPC or server with no iGPU, it's not bad. Even runs some older games and emulators well enough.
More than "well enough". It will easily max out PS3 era games, and will play PS4 era at medium/high. Definitely not good for current gen, but it's a great card if you know that's what you want.
