Specs acquired

Lenovo accidentally listed some specifications and confirming the name of AMD’s upcoming entry-level RX 6500 XT graphics card.

In the listing, which was screen grabbed by @KOMACHI_ENSAKA, via VideoCardz.com, before it was removed.

Lenovo confirmed the card will carry just 4GB of GDDR6 memory and somewhat curiously, just two display connectors consisting of a single HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4. It revealed that the card supports 8K at 60Hz although we expect that gaming at that speed would cause smoke to pour from the card.

The 6500 XT and the RX 6400 are entry level offerings and designed for popular e-sport titles at 1080p and they’ll be capable HTPC cards.

The card is rumored to be based on the Navi 24 GPU. It's 4GB of RAM is expected to connect via a disappointing 64-bit bus. On paper, it’s a pretty snoozable memory subsystem although the Infinity Cache is supposed to offset the configuration’s weakness.

While the performance might be down it could be a popular card indeed. It's nice to see the budget end of the market finally getting some much-needed affordable options.
