Alternate Spinning can reduce the turbulence of adjacent fans and increase air pressure. The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface. Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of sleeve bearing fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter.

gonna go no deal on this, asus dual $239 @ mwave and asrock $245 @ skycomp
Are the Asus and Asrock cards just rebranded versions of the Gigabyte?
They are the same series but each will perform a little different, honestly for this level card there's probably not much between them but asus for cheaper is a win in my books.
Gotta love ozbargain when you getting downvoted for pointing out better prices.
Perhaps you were downvoted for downvoting the OP - which is a different product to the 2 you highlighted.
@jackspratt: Doesn't have to be like for like to be down voted and as.mentioned asus for cheaper both 2 fan arguably better.
Look the card is utter shit and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
Gtx1630 has entered chat
Even the 1630 has encoding though
Believe it or not, some people don't game and just need a decent card for other use cases….I know, weird right
Then they shouldn’t be forced into buying a $200+ tier product for those needs
You speaking my language but missing the point
@zoner: Yeah so jimmy77 is right, this product is utter crap.
The purpose doesn’t match the price point. This shouldn’t be normalised. I thought we were ozbargain
rare amd gpu L
Not even at 249 cents
Not a good card, maybe if u play just browser games and cs source etc. then its more than enuff lol
This is one card where the bus bandwidth actually does matter.
If you have a PCIe 3.0 system, you could lose up to 25% performance with this card (which most that are likely to be "upgrading" will have) vs PCIe 4.0.
6500xt also loses to RX580 in many games, which is now practically ancient, and testing < $150 secondhand again.
Do yourself a favour and save the extra few bucks for a 3060 or 6600. Even the practically anemic RTX 3050 wallops this.
Not ideal but still a comparison

What's a reasonable price point for these CARDS? 150$AUD?
6500XT
1630
Are these off cuts from AMD and Nvidia!?
Apparently the GTX 1650 Super performs better via PCIe 3.0 than the RX 6500 XT does.
This card is worth more like 150-180
Memory Bus 64 bit
enough to say .
