AMD RX 6500 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Eagle

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game was released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia, while the PlayStation 5 version was released on November 12.

Engine: AnvilNext 2.0. We test using the Very High preset, DX12 API.

It’s a pretty poor start for the 6500 XT in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Performance is basically identical to an RX 580 and is actually slower than the GTX 1060, with AMD's latest GPU delivering 43FPS on average. Dropping down to PCIe 3.0, however, delivers a hammer blow for the 6500 XT, as the frame rate drops to just 31FPS, making it slower than even the lowly GTX 1650.
