The Helpful RX 6500 XT Review (40 Games Tested)

I put the Radeon RX 6500 XT through 11 Benchmarks and I tested around 40 Games. I tested PCIe 3 and PCIe 4 and Smart Access Memory (SAM). I also looked into ray-tracing, overclocking, and Radeon Super Resolution (RSR), and in some games, I've used FSR. My testing wasn't limited to Windows but also included Linux (PopOS).
