AMD will start selling the latest budget GPU Radeon RX 6500 XT, on January 19. It retails for $199. But the cryptocurrency might not be obtained due to the lack of a GPU that would separate every card available to them by miners and scalpels. Any thing The graphics card was on their price list last year.
Whether the 6500 XT is somewhat different depends on the distribution, but AMD designed the card to deliberately appeal to miners while still retaining its usefulness as an entry-level graphics card. AMD Radeon VP Laura Smith, who spoke to reporters at a press conference earlier this week, talked regarding how the 6500 “improved” the 6500 for XT gaming (the copy of the explicitly deleted PCWorld article has now been preserved. here)
“We really improved on this to be the first games in this target market,” Smith said. “And you’ll see how we organized this area. Even with a quadruple kick frame buffer. It’s a very good framework store for most AAA games, but not very attractive if you’re doing blockchain-type operations or mining operations.”
In fact, if you look Specifications 6500 XT, you will notice a few things compared to The last generation of the RX 5500 XT. Initially, there was no 8GB version of the 6500 XT. The 6500 XT also uses a 64-bit memory interface, which is rare on modern GPUs – you can sometimes find it on low-cost laptop GPUs. GeForce MX450, but unique GPUs released over the past two generations often stick to at least 128-bit memory interfaces. Both outcomes make the 6500 XT particularly bad for an Ethereum miner, because it is Requires more than 4GB of video RAM And Really wants memory bandwidth.
To compensate for the slower memory interface, AMD has increased the clock speed of the AMD RX 6500 XT to help it compete with the RX 570 series cards it wants to replace. The maximum boost frequency is 2815MHz, which is 1845MHz on the RX 5500 XT. Even the top-tier 6900 XT only boosts up to 2250MHz – it has plenty of GPU hardware and high memory bandwidth.
Nvidia has also taken steps to limit the mining capabilities of its GPUs, especially when it does Re-release “LHR” (or lower hash rate) for RTX 3000-Series card versions In the middle of 2021. But the core hardware had better hash rates, and the company’s miners used it all Alternative BIOSes to do special software to do Non-standard drivers To recover all or part of the mining process of those cards. The 6500 XT shouldn’t have these issues – a graphics card usually can’t hack a lot of video RAM. What remains is the design results that make the 6500 XT sub-optimal for mining additional Make it optimized for gaming.
