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

4gb is still absolutely fine at 1080P - Surely that's what texture detail settings etc are for - they don't always have to be set to "ultra" or "maximum".

In the case of Fortnite and other similar games, my son's 2gb 7870 is still doing fine @ 1080p 60fps

Yeah the 75watt non power adaptor ones would be great, am all for castration as long as its the gpu

Sorry if not understandable.

The verb can also be used also as:

-deprive of power, vitality, or vigour.
"a restrictive classicism would have castrated England's literature"

These look like they will be around GTX 1660 performance, which is 85% the performance of a GTX 1660TI / GTX 1070. that's pretty solid.

How much are they?

All the guesses I've seen are around the "$150" mark which kind of makes sense. Though I would have liked to see a little more power for the money, but hey this generation has been pretty bad at giving more power for ones money

 

[Bazzards]

I would be interested in one of these for an htcp setup.

The 3GB on the GTX 1060 make the card DOA right now. Unless one wants to play 10-year-old games at 1920x1080.

3G 1060 was FINE for 1080P gaming.

Point me to a shooter game that's better than Half Life 2 or Crysis and I'll consider spending half a grand on a GPU. Until then, I'm perfectly content to replay my 10 year old games at 1080p.

Half Life 2 was a groundbreaking game. Still holds its fun levels even today. The orange pack (all the DLC for HL2) is probably the best bargain game set money can buy. Dammit @LePhuronn , I've got a family now, I can't afford time to go back and reinstall the whole Orange set....or can I? You're a bad man putting that idea in my head again

 

[willhub]

I might start HL2 again tonight, definitely the best story I've followed in a game.

 

[LePhuronn]

Sorry, not sorry

And I'll wager a fiver if you put any console CoD or MW player in front of the entire Anticitizen One+Follow Freeman section of Half Life 2, they'd lose their minds and cry. Close-quarters Strider fight and you can't hide behind a wall to regenerate health? Best of luck kiddies

After about 10,000 years Black Mesa is finally nearing completion, so I'll be tempted to jump back onto that and replay HL1 with the big update.

Also, have a look at Project Borealis. It's a fan development taking the "leaked" story/script for Half Life 2: Episode 3. For some reason though they're building from scratch using the Unreal Engine, rather than Source, but hey ho.

FYI seems many missed the AMD spec sheet
https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-5500

 

[R3X]

If your not gaming maybe the RX 5300 maybe the better choice, although it was just an oem card at this point so lets see if AMD release a series of cards to cater to all low and mid range market.

 

[willhub]

Looks like 1060 level performance.

 

[Chrisc]

Guru3d refers to 5500 non-XT 4GB one and base on the benchmarks below. It doesn't refer to the 5500XT with the 8GB ram and performance between 590 and 5700 non-XT

https://videocardz.com/82162/amd-announces-radeon-rx-5500-series-with-gddr6-memory

That card (5500 non XT) is replacement for 570/580. The 5500XT looks like replacement for 590/V56

ah that makes sense, could be a very impressive card.

 

[Freddie1980]

ah that makes sense, could be a very impressive card.

Really? On AMD's tech sheet the TDP of the 5500 is 150 watts which puts it in the same class as a RX480 yet it's only around 20% faster with half the ram.

Price dependent of course. . .

I really dont buy into the 'watts' argument, i honestly couldn't care less if a card costs me a few quid more a year to run.

Some other news popped out recently, appears AMD are going to launch 5 different version of the Rx-5500 series and an RX5300 variant. Makes sense considering they put 5300 cards in those OEM computers few weeks back. Should be good for budget low end and mid range users, looks like Nvidia are releasing more 1660 supers and soon 1650 supers already though.

Hopefully know a release date soon, this week perhaps?

Hopefully, it will be a nice upgrade for my sons rig from his RX470
