Engine: Dunia Engine. We test using the Ultra preset, HD Textures off, DX12 API.

Next is Far Cry 6 and would you believe it, the 6500 XT is actually faster than the RX 580 here, delivering about 55FPS on average. It’s no better than the 5500 XT however, and actually when we do test with PCIe 3.0 speeds, performance is back at RX 580 levels. It's hardly great progress.
