Anybody have any insight if the RX 6500XT will work for Mac OS Monterey? I ordered 3 of them and would be nice to get it to work with Mac.
 
Apple haven't added the drivers for the AMD Navi 24 chip to macOS. This is the same state of affairs for the AMD Navi 22 chip used in the RX 6700 series cards.

So there is currently no support for the RX 6500 or RX 6500 XT cards in macOS. As this is a low-end dGPU it is unlikely Apple will provide drivers for this card, as it is unlikely to be used in a Mac Pro given its specification.

There is support for Navi 21 & Navi 23 chips, which are used in the RX 6800 & RX 6900 and RX 6600 series cards respectively. See the chart taken from TechPowerUp, showing the RX 6000 cards and which chip the use.

Yeah, I purchased a RX 6600 and it works with 12.2 on as well!
