Are you suggesting that you could use Raytracing at all in modern games on a low end card like the RX 6500 XT? If you would use it you would lose the marginal performance increase of the updated architecture. Also content creation is a big point for younger generation if it is livestreaming, recording clips or general gameplay. This will both not be doable with this card if you don't have a good cpu. There is no discussion that more cards are good in the market we have right now. The card is 50% over MSRP right now at most retailers.

> Are you suggesting that you could use Raytracing at all in modern games on a low end card like the RX 6500 XT? Yes? Minecraft Raytracing and Quake Raytracing are rather low-specs and probably would run on an RX 6500 XT. You might have to drop down to 720p but it probably would run.

  Minecraft release 18 November 2011. Quake release June 22, 1996. They may have frankensteined the engines to support ray tracing but these are not modern games at all.

  Are you kidding? These are fully path traced games and they are extremely hard to render. RDNA2 cards are worse in raytracing titles than Nvidia cards. For example 6900xt is half as performant in Minecraft RTX compared to 3090(18FPS vs 40FPS) according to LTT tests(testing was in 4k). And according to random tests I saw on Youtube. RX6600 outputs around 6fps with RTX enabled in 1080p, and it's basically 50% stronger. Not sure about 720p, but I would be surprised if it 5500XT gets to 10FPS at that resolution.

[citation needed] Strictly speaking, it will "run", but if it run well that's another thing entirely. It was the reason why the meme for heavy game morphed to "but can it run Minecraft RT?" for a while.
