The Radeon 6500XT Polar Elves is a graphics card from SAPPHIRE that features a distinctive white PCB design and a custom cooling solution. It is based on the AMD Navi 24 XT GPU, which is built on the 6 nm process and offers 1024 stream processors and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, ray tracing, FidelityFX Super Resolution, and PCIe 4.0. The card has a single 8-pin power connector and a Mini-ITX form factor, making it suitable for small and compact builds.
The pricing and availability of the Radeon 6500XT Polar Elves are not yet officially announced by SAPPHIRE, but some sources suggest that it will cost around $300 USD and launch in late July or early August 2023. The card will compete with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti in the mid-range segment of the market. The card is expected to offer decent performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming, especially with FidelityFX Super Resolution enabled. However, some reviewers have criticized the card for having a narrow 64-bit memory bus and being outdated compared to the newer RX 7600 series.
