Cheapest Radeon RX 6500 XT video card from ASUS costs 299 euros

ASUS gives its versions of the Radeon RX 6500 XT video card in Germany suggested retail prices of 299 and 324 euros. AMD presented the video card last week as a budget model that should cost $199. The new model will be on sale from January 19.

ASUS is the first manufacturer to list suggested retail prices for its RX 6500 XT graphics cards. In a German press release, the company announced the Dual Radeon RX 6500 XT and the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6500 XT. The Dual model has a suggested retail price of 299 euros and the TUF version costs 324 euros.

ASUS’ Dual series is the brand’s lowest-ranking series of graphics cards. Above that is the TUF series and above that are the Republic of Gamers models. ASUS has not announced any ROG models of the RX 6500 XT.

AMD announced the Radeon RX 6500 XT at CES last week and presented the graphics card as a budget model that will cost $199. Converted with VAT, that would come to about 213 euros.

AMD itself does not release RX 6500 XT video cards, but the price mentioned should be an indication of what video card manufacturers charge for their models. For now, only prices of the ASUS models are known. Other manufacturers may offer models for lower amounts, but for the time being the price that AMD gives to the card does not seem realistic.

Nvidia announced its RTX 3050 last week for a suggested retail price of $250. That video card will probably also appear for much higher prices. The same happened last year with the introduction of other video cards.
