PowerColor launches Radeon RX 6500XT in the Mini-ITX form size.

The Radeon RX 6500XT ITX is the latest graphics card from PowerColor. The model has a dual-slot design with an ITX form factor and a single fan, and it is available now. 



The card measures 165 mm in length and has a fan of 90 mm in diameter. As a result, it has a larger fan than another PowerColor model, the RX 6500XT Fighter, which is similar in size (that comes with two 80mm fans). It has a single 8-pin connector, yet the images show a 6-pin connector in action. Given that the latter is an AMD reference specification, PowerColor's listing is almost certain to be inaccurate. The connector and PCIe slot, together with the card's total rated power (TBP), allow for a maximum of 150W of power to be transmitted through the system. Despite the fact that the clocks are still listed as 'to be determined' by PowerColor, it seems unlikely that this model was overclocked at the manufacture. The Radeon RX 6500XT is a 1024-stream processor graphics processing unit (GPU) based on the Navi 24 design. This graphics card is equipped with 4GB of 18Gbps GDDR6 memory, which is coupled to the GPU via a 64-bit bus. The low memory bandwidth and short PCIe Gen4 x4 interface are intended to make it a'relatively' low-cost casual/e-sports gaming solution due to its limited memory bandwidth. AMD has stated that the RX 6500XT will have a suggested retail price of 199 USD, but PowerColor has not yet confirmed the model's availability or pricing.
