ASUS recently launched the Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT and TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics cards, and they are now available in the Philippines.
These two new graphics cards are built on a 6nm process and the AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture. As mentioned during the RX 6500 XT reveal, these cards promise to deliver great gaming performance at 1080p for both triple-A and epsorts titles.
The Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT uses a compact two-slot design that is designed to fit into small form-factor builds. This card also comes with the ASUS-exclusive Axial-tech fan design, and it features an 85-watt power draw. On top of these, the GPU also features barrier rings which direct the airflow straight to the heatsink which allows the GPU to stay cool under heavier load. In lighter workloads, the fans are designed to turn off completely for silent operation. With these, the Dual Radeon is designed to bring excellent 1080p performance without introducing excessive heat or noise.
Meanwhile, the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT is another GPU designed for small form-factor builds. This graphics card can reach lower temperatures than the Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card, all while maintaining similar noise levels and facilitating a 90-watt power budget. This should mean that the TUF Gaming RX 6500 XT has a slightly higher sustained GPU clock speed.
The ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT and Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics cards are available in the Philippines with the following SRPs:
| MODEL | SRP |
| TUF-RX6500XT-O4G-GAMING | ₱18,210.00 |
| DUAL-RX6500XT-O4G | ₱16,860.00 |
