AMD RX 6500 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Eagle

Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The plot follows Aloy, a hunter in a world overrun by machines, who sets out to uncover her past. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017 and Microsoft Windows in 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Decima. We test using the Ultimate Quality preset, DX12 API.

Moving onto Horizon Zero Dawn, here the 6500 XT matches the 1650 Super and 5500 XT 8GB, making it just a handful of frames faster than the GTX 1060 and RX 580. That is, until we test with PCIe 3.0, at which point it delivers the same average FPS as the RX 570, but with significantly worse 1% lows.
