Sapphire releases Radeon RX 6500 XT with 8GB memory – Computer – News

Video card manufacturer Sapphire has announced an 8GB version of the Radeon RX 6500 XT. The relatively modest GPU therefore has twice as much GDDR6 memory than all other variants of the RX 6500 XT. The price of the 8GB variant has not yet been announced.

The version of the Sapphire Radeon RX 6500 XT with 8GB memory recently appeared on the manufacturer’s official website and is identical to the 4GB variant in almost all other specifications. The only minor difference is the clock speed; the 8GB variant has a boost and ‘game’ clock speed of 2855 and 2695 megahertz. That is marginally higher than the promised boost and ‘game’ clock frequency of 2825 and 2685MHz of the original variant.

Nevertheless, doubling the amount of vram is an apparently logical move by Sapphire, despite the same bandwidth of 144GB/s. In the review of the standard 4GB variant of the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT wrote Tweakers: “Also in Doom Eternal, the RX 6500 XT manages to exceed 60 frames per second in Medium settings, but the difference with its predecessor and many other cards is huge. The game requires quite a bit of video memory on Ultra settings , which is why a lot of the cards are missing there.”
