+The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a low-end graphics card supported by the open source `amdgpu` driver in the Linux Kernel.
+
+It requires a 16x PCIe card slot. You will need to supply power to the card directly through a 1x8-Pin PCIe power cable.
+
+### `amdgpu` (open source) driver
+
+To get the amdgpu driver loaded, you have to [recompile the Linux kernel for Pi OS](https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/tree/master/extras/cross-compile).
+
+Go to `Device Drivers` > `Graphics support` on the `menuconfig` step, and select the `amdgpu` driver to install.
+
+Also make sure you have the AMD firmware installed (`sudo apt install -y firmware-amd-graphics`) or the driver will complain about missing files.
+
+On the Pi 5, we have tested both Coreforge's Pi OS Linux GPU support branch and the simpler 15-line patch from yanghaku, and both offer full functionality.
+
+See the linked GitHub issue for more details.
