ASUS Dual Radeon™ RX 6500 XT V2 OC Edition 4GB GDDR6

ASUS Dual Radeon™ RX 6500 XT V2 OC Edition 4GB GDDR6 with two powerful Axial-tech fans and a 2-slot design for broad compatibility.

• OC edition: up to 2820 MHz (Boost Clock)/up to 2670 MHz (Game Clock)
• Axial-tech fan design features a smaller fan hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure.
• A 2-slot design maximises compatibility and cooling efficiency for superior performance in small chassis.
• Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.
• A protective backplate prevents PCB flex and trace damage.
• Auto-Extreme technology uses automation to enhance reliability.

2x Fans. 2x Fun.

Featuring the latest AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture, ASUS Dual Radeon™ RX 6500 XT V2 fuses dynamic thermal performance with broad compatibility. Advanced cooling solutions from flagship graphics cards — including two Axial-tech fans for maximising airflow to the heatsink — are packed into the 20 cm long, 2-slot card, delivering more power in less space. These enhancements make ASUS Dual the perfect choice for gamers who want heavyweight graphics performance in a compact build.

Cooling

Axial-Tech Fan Design - Better, Faster, Stronger

Two tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure.

0dB Technology - Quiet Intelligence

To eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.

Dual Ball Fan Bearings - 2x Longer Lifespan

Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs.

2-Slot Design - Sink Your Heat Into This

A carefully designed shroud, heatsink, and heatpipe layout allows the two Axial-tech fans to leverage chassis side-panel ventilation and deliver thermal performance that belies the card’s size.

Engineering

Auto-Extreme Technology - Precision Automated Manufacturing

Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.

Protective Backplate - No Flexin'

The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage.

Stainless Steel Bracket - Steel Yourself

The mounting bracket of the Dual has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that is harder and more resistant to corrosion.

Software

GPU Tweak III - Monitor, Tweak, and Tune

The ASUS GPU Tweak III utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customisable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.

Radeon Software - Change the Way You Game

The latest Radeon™ Software unleashes the full potential of your GPU with day-0 drivers optimised for new game releases and a highly customisable gaming experience.

QuantumCloud - Profit from GPU Power

QuantumCloud is a safe and easy-to-use application that lets you effortlessly earn extra money by sharing your graphics card’s computing power. Earnings are accessible through your PayPal or WeChat account, and QuantumCloud also supports multiple exchange methods, including Steam. In addition, QuantumCloud doesn’t collect any personal data, so your privacy stays protected.

Experience

144-Hour Validation Programme - “Extensive” May be an Understatement

Each card must meet rigorous performance and reliability standards before it ships. Performance and stress tests are run with the latest chart-topping titles like Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. ASUS also carry out reliability trials that include a 144-hour stability test and a series of 3DMark benchmarking runs to ensure the card performs well when pushed to the limits.

Pair with a PSU

Use the ASUS wattage calculator to estimate how much power you’ll need to fuel your rig and then pick a compatible ROG, TUF Gaming or Prime PSU for ultimate performance.
