AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT & Radeon RX 5500 7nm Navi 14 GPUs Unveiled

I suspect 590 to still be the faster product but albeit higher power draw and a similar or slightly lower price and thus making it the cars to buy whilst stock last at which point cards like 570, 580 and 590 will simply cease to exist and into Q2 of 2020 there shall only be 5300 for OEMs and 5500 / 5600 for mainstreams along with 5700 for enthusiast and then no doubt late Summer aka Computex announcement of 5800 and maybe even a 5900 series or one of the two.

I just realised that I missed the bit where you said 570, 580 and 590 are EOL. :o

Need a VFM card at ~£100-120 like the RX 570, the GTX 1650 is terrible in comparison, other than using less power. Then 1650 Super is more than an RX 590...

People talk on AMD putting on a poor show, but at least you get proper performance in the low-mid segment. :(
 
Was looking at reviews of the 1650 super. Seems like a reasonable card tbh. Gonna come down to 5500 xt pricing tbh.

EVGA 1650 Super SC Ultra looks like a great card for the money. I honestly think this is gonna be real hard territory for AMD now. I am trying to stay away from Nvidia, but it's a compelling card tbh. It's either that, or the 590 unless the 5500 xt can really lay it down hard in the reviews.

So, instead of making it a single-slot card with potentially passive cooling, they are doing mysterious designs :confused:

They are similar. Seems like evga at least is putting 14gbps chips on and just down clocking to 12gbps. When overclocked it is almost hitting the stock 1660 performance. That is something to bear in mind if true given they are the likely gonna be same price

Another thing is to consider the 590. It is still a card to be reckoned with given the massive price decrease..

Let's see what the 12th of December brings (apparently the release date of the 5500 series).

259 dollars? Lol. Hopefully AMD haven't lost their mind given the 1650 super is around 100 cheaper and a 5700 is barely much more. I don't believe this price btw, that would be card suicide.

Edit: there is just no way the card would be that price. Nvidia is the clear choice in that price range, it wouldn't even be a consideration. That major US website listing it is the only place so far btw.

Edit2: Funny how small the PCB is and then the size of the coolers.

590 is a great purchase right now.

Paying extra for RGB Privilege™

I reckon others will be closer to $200 (for 8GB). The price seems too high, yes, but no different than Vega vs 5700/XT, with Vega being way better value until it went out of stock.

The 8gb model will probably sell for a premium over the 4gb model.

And likely not worth the extra. It's a 1080p card for sure. Only very few games that push more than 4gb at 1080p, although obviously that will increase as time goes by.

Edit: not disagreeing with you btw. Realized my reply seems abrasive.

T-minus 2 days...

Right now, pretty much. Eventually the VRAM will bottleneck though and I partly regret buying a 'bargain' 4gb RX 580. Right now, pretty much, here's 3gb 1060 v the 6gb model comparisons



So only some games are hit at 1440p at High/Ultra but eventually new games will need the same VRAM to be high at 1080p

Then again, when you dial back settings to play games in 2 years, maybe it won't matter, 680 2gb vs 4gb model

It will very much be out of it's depth in 2 to 3 years, absolutely not contesting that.

Does seem like it. Allow it seems like Asus is a little confused in their 8GB registrations lol.

EDIT: was just reading a 5500 xt article on wcccccccctech. Oh lord.. some of the comments. Constant fighting and pathetic 'you have alts and should be banned'. Utter childishness. Never let OcUK become like that. Thank the lord for mods (even when I get a whooping from them lol).

wccftech & videocardz discussion sections are 4chan sub-sections of sorts, that's why it seems so weird & off-puting. they're their own little sub-culture.
 
Thicc edition at 229 dollars. This just doesn't make any sense unless drivers sucked or 8gb is somehow super special magical. Of course.. prices could be off...
