This only makes sense if you are DESPERATE for ANY GPU and also already planning to shell out $50 for Dead Island 2 at release. Otherwise this card is an insult, even at $50 off MSRP.

The current market is pur cansur.
Still running that Voodoo Banshee waiting for for the AGP cards to come down in price? "hOld ThE liNe BoyS!" Right?
Honestly, this card can run ANY game (and respectfully). In what era do you think that $150 (free game or no) could that happen except right now? Not to mention counting inflation. What price point do you expect? 15 bucks??? And MSRP is a fake number, basing your target street price off MSRP is akin to asking a Magic 8 Ball what the weather will be next week on Mars.
LOL.

Why did you put quotation marks around something I didn't say?
I'd suggest spending some of your gaming budget on remedial reading and math education, but I have a strong suspicion that's throwing good money after bad:
GPU price: ~$150
Dead Island 2: ~$50 ($10 coupon from Epic once game releases)
Valuation of card IMHO: ~$100
That's a Far Cry from $15. I'm sorry you couldn't suss it out by yourself, but I do have a soft spot for the differentially abled so no biggie. However, it might be best if you stick to Shadow the Hedgehog fanfic instead of recommending garbage-tier GPUs to desperate shoppers...
everyone look this guy thinks his dead island 2 freebie is worth justifying a $50 knockdown on possibly the literal worst gpu release this past cycle
You're both silly, this card is simply trash and not worth it even with the free game

OMG....hyperbole and sarcasm. Wow. The alternating capitalization confused you?
"You dumb, me not, can't explain why though." (that's paraphrasing BTW...before you get upset about the quotation marks. Perhaps you missed that day of "remedial reading?")
I said $150 "free game or no." This rebate will expire soon...does the card suddenly increase in value because you cannot subtract $50 for an expired promotion or is the $50 part of a bundle to entice sales during a particular period? Did you miss remedial business too?
1) The $15 was rhetorical.
2) It was clearly an exaggeration to show how silly your non-point is
3) In "remedial reading" (or writing) did they teach you that "far cry" should not be capitalized unless we are talking about the video game franchise? That was a far cry from correct. BWAHAHAHA
4) You still didn't say what a reasonable price for this card would be. Your entire (pretend) point is the card is too expensive however you cannot articulate what the street price should be. Odd, because you are the one who brought up valuation yet refuse to discuss it.
LOL...Shadow the Hedgehog? Fanfic?
"Shadow the Hedgehog" he says!!!! Reminds me of Michelangelo the electrician and his neighbor Luther trying to save Duchess Frogroom from BowWow the Fanfic dragon!!!!
Honestly, you ended that better than I ever could have. I needed the laugh.
Holy sneed

I was thinking about maybe getting this for my son as an upgrade instead of getting a more expensive 6700 xt but after reading some benchmarks, I determined that his 1060 3GB is on par with this 6500 XT in most aspects. So to be fair and non partial, this 1060 3GB is from 2017, so 6-yr old and even back then it was close to entry level, a lower trim than the better 1060 (6GB). You are looking at this level? Then 6500 XT could be your thing. Just to comment on "play ANY game" claim, I researched the recommended system requirements of dead island 2. It was 1660 6GB, which is a better card than 6500 XT in speed and memory. So YES you CAN play this game, but would you rather? I got the same game deal with my recent 6650 XT. I'm happy with the purchase. I'm not playing a lot of games but the 8GB ram is good to have besides the speed. I'm not interested in this dead island 2 game I'm supposed to get for free with the card. Any way to unload it somewhere?

Seriously? How can you possibly mock those that advocated hold when we were vindicated on all counts? Lol.
I preached hold, I defended that position rationally, I was still shouted down, prices did crash, and all the loud mouthed children lost their shirts on overpriced (enter card(s) here).
This is a joke at $150. It's barely worth $100. It was mercilessly savaged by legitimate reviewers.
A gently used 1070 is less money and 50-60% faster. AMD had an opportunity to release a high value legend during a difficult time for gamers, but instead they dropped this overpriced turd on a struggling community.
The 6500 isn't a card for current market. They should stop trying to sell it. A second hand card for $150 will handily outperform this card. Anyone considering the RX series for any gaming should start at the GTX1080 equivalent RX6600 (non XT).

The time to get the 6500 XT was in late November when it was $100 after rebate... with the same game!
Looks like 6600 is up to around $240. RIP.

For hive mind perhaps?
And what exactly is RDNA anyway?
