AMD RX 6500 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Eagle

Using the graphics card-only power draw figures presented earlier in the review, here we present performance per Watt on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

Despite the low power draw observed earlier in the review, the RX 6500 XT is no more efficient that other GPUs of its class that launched over two years ago. The GTX 1650 Super offers slightly better performance per Watt, for instance, while the GTX 1660 Super and GTX 1650 are just fractionally behind. Compared to AMD's RX 5500 XT 4GB we are looking at an increase in efficiency of 15%, but it's still not a big step forward.
