Review on Video card Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 6500 XT 4Gb, 11314-01-20G, Retail by Micha Spodymek ᠌

First of all, you need to understand that this video card is at the bottom of the market for modern gaming cards, so it's stupid to demand the capabilities of more expensive counterparts from it. And the closest competitor to it is the RTX 3050, which is 20 thousand more expensive. This particular version from Sapphire has a weak cooling system, or I came across a not very successful copy. In games at maximum settings, it can heat up to 65-71 degrees, and in a hot spot up to 90 degrees. And this is in the presence of three case fans and a large case. At idle it stays around 30 degrees. Below I will attach screenshots of tests and temperatures. Now I'm playing the first Dying Light on it and the temperature is kept within 45-50 degrees, provided that the graphics settings are maximum, the resolution is 1080, the shadows are turned on to the maximum, but not ultra, the number of frames is limited to 80th. I was pleased with the AMD application - it has a lot of settings and functions, better than the green ones. But at the first attempt to install the drivers, they did not get up, it turned out only the second time. The box with the card was sealed, the card was pasted over with a factory protective film.
