Economy class flights

The RX 550 is the only truly new graphics card in the Radeon RX 500 series. Especially for it, AMD designed a new Polaris chip that is extremely simple and cheap to manufacture. At just $90, this graphics card should be a bestseller among fans of less demanding PC multiplayer games like World of Tanks, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Dota 2. drops below 60 fps.

For lestplays and streams

At the same time, the Radeon RX 550 still more or less pulls resource-intensive single novelties. So, "The Witcher 3" and "Watch Dogs 2" give out at a resolution of 1080p and low settings the minimum comfortable 30 FPS. If you want more frames per second, lower the resolution to 900 and 720p. But this graphics card does not have even the slightest margin of performance for the future. But the RX 550 is the cheapest graphics card with support for hardware video recording and game streaming (AMD ReLive feature). A direct competitor to the RX 550 should be the not-yet-released GeForce GT 1030.

Cold temper

The RX 550 consumes only 50 W of electricity, which is why it heats up weakly and is cooled without problems even with a single-fan cooler. Therefore, you can and should buy the cheapest version - MSI RX 550 Aero ITX 2G OC. In a simple PC, the noise of its fan is not audible at all, and in games, although it becomes distinguishable, it still does not irritate. You probably shouldn't use the MSI RX 550 Aero ITX 2G OC to build a new gaming PC. But for the upgrade of an existing old PC, this is it. But note that all Radeon RX 500 series graphics cards, like the GeForce GTX 10, do not have an analogue VGA video output. If you have an old monitor with only such an interface, you will have to purchase an active VGA-HDMI adapter.
