Rx580 power consumption 1080p#
We have 12 games to look at, all tested at 1080p and 1440p using medium to high quality presets or settings.įirst up we have Shadow of the Tomb Raider and with the high quality preset enabled at 1080p, the 5500 XT was good for 77 fps on average. We exclusively used the Gigabyte RX 5500 XT Gaming OC for testing the 5500 XT in this review.

Our GPU test system is powered by a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 16GB of DDR4-3400 memory. Either way, we'll review the price to performance offered by the 5500 XT towards the end of this review, for now let's check out those benchmark figures. The 4GB model will cost $170, and again that seems like a lot of money for a 4GB graphics card in 2019. The 8GB version of the 5500 XT comes in at $200 MSRP and frankly that seems a tad too ambitious for the hardware specs. However, because there are a lot less, the TDP has been reduced from 180 watts down to 150 watts. Getting back to the cores, they're clocked at 1670 MHz for the base with a boost of 1845 MHz, which means they're clocked 7% higher than the 5700. We also have a 5500 XT 4GB card on hand and we'll provide a detailed 4GB vs 8GB comparison soon, but for this review our focus will be on the 8GB version. This sees memory bandwidth halved to 224 GB/s.ĪMD has kept the GDDR6 memory and you can purchase the 5500 XT with either 4 or 8GB of VRAM. There's also half as many ROPs, which has reduced the memory bus from 256-bit down to 128-bit wide. The RX 5500 XT GPU uses a tiny 158mm2 die packing just 1408 cores and 88 texture units, almost 40% fewer than the RX 5700. From MSI we have their 'Gaming X' model and Gigabyte sent their 'Gaming OC' version, both look very good. To evaluate just how good the Radeon RX 5500 XT is, we have one card from MSI and one from Gigabyte. Results didn't look amazing, but of course, without confirmed pricing information it was hard to gauge just how good or bad Navi 14 would be. Some lucky members of the press were able to get their hands on OEM versions, allowing them to test ahead of release. While this is technically a day-one review, it's not the first 5500 XT review to hit the web. Codenamed Navi 14, we finally have the new budget-oriented Radeon on hand. The Radeon RX 5500 XT is AMD's answer to Nvidia's recently released GeForce GTX 1650 Super.
