Review and testing of the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT video card: Let take a look at a deep review (2021 still relevant) and Testo how how it would perform when playing your video games and also the, Specs | CPU | Config
The AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card is finally officially presented and judging by the statements of the “red company” AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT has become an addition to the line of graphics processors Radeon RX 5500 series, announced in October this year. The new product is optimized to provide 1080p gaming in AAA games and esports disciplines. To compete with the Radeon RX 5500 XT, apparently, should be the products of the “green corporation” in the person of the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER, which has shown itself well in computer games.
The Radeon RX 5500 XT is based on a 7nm Navi 14 core (RDNA) and if the old AMD GCN architecture focuses on the maximum density of computing ALUs in the die and relatively simple control logic. In the RDNA architecture, the logic has become more complex, so we see a higher specific performance in terms of ALU volume, and as a result, a higher transistor content. Unfortunately, the Radeon RX 5500 XT did not receive the full Navi 14 GPU and is content with the same 1408 stream processors, 88 texture mapping units and 32 ROРs, as the RX 5500 model. Actually, these cards are as close as possible, and it is not clear why this illogical division was at all … The new GPU operates at frequencies of 1607-1717-1845 MHz versus 1607-1670-1845 MHz in the RX 5500. The memory frequency is 14 GHz, the bus width is 128 bits. In this case, the memory of the RX 5500 XT can be 4 or 8 GB. In the first case, the recommended price is $ 170, in the second – $ 200. TDP of new items is 130 watts.
According to the company, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT delivers on average up to 13% faster performance in modern AAA games compared to competitive solutions, allowing up to 60+ frames per second in certain AAA games and up to 90+ FPS in some eSports disciplines. The graphics card’s AMD Radeon Anti-Lag technology reduces input lag, including 22% more responsive gameplay in select online games. AMD Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS) technology enhances the clarity of images softened by scaling and post-processing effects in DirectX 9, 11, 12 and Vulkan games.

PowerColor Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB Red Dragon
On store shelves, the PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 8GB OC graphics card can be easily recognized by its colorful cardboard box. It is made in black and red tones, and on the front there is an image of the series logo in the form of a red dragon. The video card looks simple: matte black colors and rectangular shapes, without any backlighting. The plastic casing and fan have a dragon image, and the design is diluted with a silver edging of holes with fans. The back side of the video adapter is covered with a solid metal plate that protects the PCB and takes part in heat dissipation. It also features a large Red Dragon logo. By modern standards, the video card turned out to be quite compact. It occupies two expansion slots and is 230 mm long.
Additional power to the graphics card is provided through the 8-pin power connector. The GDDR6 memory chips are manufactured by Micron and are marked 9TB47 D9WZX, which indicates a nominal frequency of 1750 MHz and a bandwidth of 14 Gbit / s per bus pin. The base game frequency of the red dragon is 1717 MHz, the Boost frequency is up to 1845 MHz. PowerColor’s GPU and RAM voltage regulators are a full six phases, recruited from discrete components, controlled by the International Rectifier IR35217, and a single phase with an ON Semiconductor NCP81022 PWM controller for GDDR6 chips. A two-fan cooler is used as a cooler; the cooling system also includes a stacked radiator pierced with three heat pipes. The technology of direct contact of heat pipes with a graphics processor has been implemented. Power elements and memory chips also did not remain without cooling. They give off heat to the main CO radiator.
Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB Gaming OC
The Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB Gaming OC is the most expensive and feature rich model reviewed in this review. It offers a potential buyer an improved PCB, a proprietary WINDFORCE 3X cooling system, factory overclocking and RGB illumination. The Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming OC 8G has a very typical Gigabyte design, not related to the AORUS brand. A large number of black shades are diluted with metallic. Naturally, they did not forget about RGB Fusion 2.0 backlighting. At the back, Gigabyte has installed a solid metal plate. It provides additional durability to the graphics card. The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5500 XT GAMING OC 8G is a fairly large device with a length of 281 cm.
The original PCB is used. The power circuit has 8 phases controlled by ON Semiconductor NCP81022 and International Rectifier IOR 35217 controllers. The components themselves correspond to the proprietary Ultra Durable VGA concept: solid-state and tantalum-polymer capacitors are installed, as well as chokes with a ferrite core. In addition to the PCI Express slot, one 8-pin PCIe connector is used for power. In total, you can supply up to 225 watts of energy. At the heart of the GIGABYTE GV-R55XTGAMING OC-8GD is the 7nm AMD Navi 14 XTX GPU. It contains 1408 stream processors (ALU), 88 texture units (TMU) and 32 rasterization units (ROP). The clock speeds are slightly higher than the reference due to the factory overclocking: 1685/1737/1845 versus 1607/1717/1845 MHz. The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5500 XT GAMING OC 8G is cooled by the proprietary WINDFORCE 3X cooler. Three axial fans Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G have a diameter of 75 mm each. They start to rotate when the GPU heats up to 46 ° C. Under load, the rotation speed is 1950 rpm, which means it is quite high. The Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G provides direct contact of two heat pipes with the GPU. These two tubes transport heat to the graphics card heatsinks.
ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO 8GB
The video card is clearly aimed at economical users, although in terms of design it looks strict and stylish. It boasts ASUS Auto-Extreme automatic assembly technology, a very simple LED-backlight and a 2.5-slot cooler. The uniform black design is loaded with just a few decals. But the cooler case looks very high quality thanks to the textured surfaces. The printed circuit board is covered with a protective metal plate on the back side.
ASUS Radeon RX 5500 XT is built on the manufacturer’s own PCB design. Additional power is connected via an 8-pin power connector, and a set of video outputs includes three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0b. The GPU is powered by six phases. ASUS has installed a separate heatsink to cool the VRM. The Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO is factory overclocked. In OC Mode, the average clock speed in games is increased from 1717 to 1737 MHz, and the maximum Boost frequency is increased from 1845 to 1865 MHz. The 8GB GDDR6 video memory operates at a reference frequency of 1750 MHz (14 GHz effective). The cooler rests on a nickel-plated copper base. Heat is removed from it by two heat pipes. Memory chips are also cooled by a cooler. But the VRM uses its own heatsink. Two axial fans with a diameter of 95 mm are not quite common – the ends of the impeller are attached to the rim. In this way, ASUS tries to reduce turbulence and direct air downward more efficiently. The fans start spinning when the GPU heats up to 48 ° C. At the same temperature, they stop without load. The rotation speed is also not the highest – 900 rpm.
Testing
Next, let’s go directly to testing video cards. Power-saving CPU technologies are disabled in all tests. Testing the performance of video cards was carried out in a closed case of the system unit on a system with the following configuration:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Shadow of the Tomb Raider takes place after the events depicted in RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER. This time Miss Croft travels to Latin America, where she travels through the ruins of an ancient civilization (including the Mayan and Aztec pyramids), discovers the secrets of the Order of the Trinity, and learns more about her father’s research. The story is more mature than in previous games. To portray Lara as a more advanced adventurer, the developers set out to make her face the consequences of the decisions she made. Rise of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider uses a new game engine called the Foundation Engine. Shadow of the Tomb Raider includes improved subsurface scattering on Lara, volumetric lighting, and beams of light shining through foliage. Also, the new game uses advanced anti-aliasing – TAA, instead of SMAA. In addition, the effects of water have improved and the waves from movement now have a three-dimensional shape, and in general the interaction with water is better. Tessellation is present in both games, but it is used for different purposes.

Battlefield V is a first-person shooter in which the gamer will visit different parts of the world during the Second World War. The gameplay is extremely varied and interesting, and therefore this game is loved by millions of people. The game is based on the Frostbite Engine 3.5. Frostbite Engine is a game engine developed by EA Digital Illusions CE; it is used both in its own development and in projects of other branches of Electronic Arts. When it comes to visuals, Battlefield V sets new standards for shooter picture quality, powered by the improved Frostbite engine. It is hardly possible to find another such beautiful military shooter, no matter how trite it may sound. The single-player campaign also stands out nicely, because for multiplayer, EA and DICE have chosen a trade-off between performance and appearance. This is not to say that the picture is much worse, but still the developers have focused on performance. The only negative point concerns the level of detail depending on the viewing distance. Regardless of the selected graphics quality level, objects are always drawn at a certain distance – although they could appear much earlier / further.

Borderlands 3 Everybody’s favorite shooter with mountains of loot is back with tons of barrels ready and crazy adventures! Hurricane battles await you in unknown worlds with new opponents. Borderlands 3, like all previous episodes of the franchise, is based on the graphics engine Unreal Engine, this time on its fourth, most modern version. In the gaming industry in recent years, this is one of the most demanded and deserved software platforms – along with Unity and CryEngine. The Borderlands 3 engine integrates AMD’s FidelityFX libraries that perform post-processing functions, in this case, enhancing clarity with local contrast. For a game styled as a comic book, this option is ideal, and most importantly, the technology itself is not tied to the hardware of this or that manufacturer and may well run on NVIDIA video cards.

Assassin´s Creed Odyssey. The game takes place in 431 BC. BC, four hundred years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins. In the center of the plot is the Peloponnesian war, which took place between the ancient Greek city-states. The player will take on the role of a mercenary Alexios or Kassandra and fight on the side of Athens, leading the Delian Union, or Sparta, leading the Peloponnesian Union. Assassin’s Creed Origins was developed with Anvi Next engine 2.0, a game engine created by Ubisoft Montreal, a subsidiary of publisher Ubisoft. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey looks as good as the previous installment. The world of the game seems large and detailed due to the high drawing range and uniform style in the graphics.
In general, the developers deserve praise for the detail of drawing objects, vegetation and the quality of textures – oh, and they had to work hard, considering what large locations there are. Lighting, shadows and character models look great. Graphics settings in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are similar to those of Assassin’s Creed Origins and has a very wide range of graphics settings. The game has 15 different graphics settings, but there are also five prepared presets for those who do not want to delve into the parameters for a long time.

Metro: EXODUS Is a first-person shooter made by the 4A Engine studio based on the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, most likely the last part and the likely ending of the Metro 2033 franchise series. The plot takes place on the territory of the post-apocalyptic Russian Federation, where survivors of a nuclear war managed to hide in the big Moscow metro and are trying to survive under the onslaught attacks of evil mutant predators, as well as warring factions. 4A Engine is a game engine developed by the Ukrainian company 4A Games for use in their computer game Metro 2033, published by THQ on March 16, 2010.
The game does not contain preset image detail modes, although they are in the utility that runs the built-in benchmark – from low to ultra-high. Among the individual settings, only the overall “quality” of the image can be adjusted, the sample size of pixels for anisotropic filtering, the intensity of motion blur, and the depth of tessellation of geometric primitives. As the main method of full-screen anti-aliasing, the game uses its own kind of temporal algorithm (TAA – Temporal Anti-Aliasing) – it cannot be disabled, but judging by the information from NVIDIA, TAA works very smoothly here and probably has little effect on overall performance. As with most games of the caliber of Metro Exodus, the engine allows you to scale the image quality over a wide range, with the difference between low, medium and ultra-high detail profiles being extremely pronounced.

Conclusion
Simply put, it makes sense to overpay for a version with 8 GB only from the standpoint of a reserve for the future, but not the fact that these expectations will come true. However, here everything very much depends on the game settings, as well as on the specific game application. In general, the 8-gigabyte version of the new product in terms of performance found itself dangerously close to the GeForce GTX 1660, but the version of the GTX 1660 with the Super prefix remained unattainable for the new AMD budget models. In our opinion, the Radeon RX 5500 XT will most likely be an alternative not only to NVIDIA video cards, but also to previously released AMD models. The advantage of the Radeon RX 590 over the new product is not so significant, so the Radeon RX 5500 XT is quite capable of replacing the previous generation of AMD video cards based on the Polaris architecture and compete with inexpensive solutions from Nvidia.
