The Radeon RX 6500M is an AMD GPU that was released in 2022 January. This GPU is average at gaming with a score of 1956 points in our PC benchmark.

The Radeon RX 6500M has 4 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 125 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon RX 6500M GPU core runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 2400 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon RX 6500M supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

The AMD Radeon RX 6500M has a TDP of 50W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
