Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT OC 4G (GV-R55XTOC-4GD)
 | Expecting restock $299.00 One of the balanced low-cost entry-level gaming graphics cards based on Navi 14 (7nm) GPU with AMD RDNA architecture. It features a moderate amount of performant graphics memory (4 GB GDDR6), a small factory overclocking of the GPU and the use of a powerful cooling system Gigabyte WindForce 2X, which occupies two slots. It is positioned as a product of the basic price category, designed to complete an inexpensive gaming or universal home personal computer. The gaming performance of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT OC 4G graphics card is enough for comfortable gameplay in most AAA titles of 2015-2020 in FullHD resolution at high or maximum graphics settings. In terms of performance, this video adapter is significantly superior to the previous generation cards (Radeon RX 570/580, GeForce GTX 1...060) and ahead of the comparable GeForce GTX 1650 Super model. The undoubted advantages of the device also include a dual-fan cooling system based on heat pipes, which quickly and without unnecessary noise dissipates the generated heat. At low GPU load or when idle, when the GPU is barely engaged, 3D Active technology stops both fans, putting the system in a completely silent passive mode. The card does not require a powerful power supply (from 450 W) and supports the connection of VR headsets. |

Worthy replacement for veterans
With the release of the Radeon RX 5500 XT, AMD was finally able to send the old Radeon RX 580/590 from the Polaris family on a well-deserved vacation. As tests have shown, with similar performance, new items have lower power consumption and heat dissipation. Immediately after the announcement of the reference RX 5500 XT, Gigabyte rolled out 2 variations of this card at once: a simple Radeon RX 5500 XT and an improved Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming OC. The first variant seems more profitable to us, since it doesn't have unnecessary backlighting, the dimensions are smaller due to the use of two coolers, the operating frequency of the core is at the same level of 1845 MHz, and the price is slightly lower.
4 GB or 8 GB?
But there is another important nuance here. It's no secret that in nature there have always been clearly "red" and clearly "green" games that run better on video cards of one or another company. But if you put the RX 5500 XT and GTX 1650 SUPER in different corners of the imaginary ring and turn the graphics settings almost to the limit, you will find a slight systematic lag of the RX 5500. It seems that the RDNA chips manage the available 4 GB of video memory not as efficiently as the cards of the Turing family. But Gigabyte's test unit has a little trick up its sleeve; the 8GB version can be found for just $40 more than the 4GB version. And then NVIDIA will swallow the dust.
Red Dead Redemption 2 without brakes
As a result, the performance will be enough to run most modern toys in Full HD resolution and graphics settings somewhere between "High" and "Ultra". In general, you can safely count on a stable 50 FPS even in the most demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Metro Exodus and Gears 5. In this case, the only drawback of the card will be a weak overclocking potential. Although, this is not a problem with Gigabyte, but with Radeon itself.
