Below minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

No. The Radeon RX 6500 XT is below The Blood of Dawnwalker's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1060 6GB). Our model still estimates ~40 fps at 1080p low (range 32–48, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 6500 XT back.
Processor needed for ~30 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-11700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~23 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 6500 XT: 4 GB
The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
