First proper RX5500 review

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

TPU have got hold of an OEM RX5500:

It looks like a lower power RX580 and similar in speed to a GTX1650 Super - it seems like the Wolfenstein II results seem to be unusually low!!

 

[Aretak]

Looks like the 4GB VRAM that's struggling in Wolfenstein II. All the other 3/4GB cards are really low too, including the 1650 Super (although that's not hit quite as hard).

Overall it seems "fine" assuming it's priced correctly - and that means below the 1650 Super. Nvidia is pretty much the default option for most people, so "fine" and "competitive" never seems to cut it for AMD cards. They also need to be notably cheaper to gain any traction.

 

[Gibbo]

Needs to be £120ish as with 1650 Super at £150 this needs be cheaper!

just buy a 590 at £150 it beats them both!

Wish AMD would sort their multi monitor power usage.

Surely it will be from what i read lately the x version will be along shortly to spank the 1650 for cheaper.

yeah interesting read on the review I had no idea they had this issue and have a dual screen set up also, think ill stick to 1650, AMD have disappointed overall with this release even there wattage and no fan noise is not that good, same as nvidias but at least its better power wise.
