AMD Radeon RX 5500 Series Unveiled – 7nm Desktop and Mobility Navi 14 GPU Lineup For Mainstream Audiences
AMD is not launching a single graphics card based on the Navi 14 GPU but three different parts, the Radeon RX 5500 XT, the Radeon RX 5500 and the Radeon RX 5500M. You can tell from the name that the first two cards are aimed towards the desktop platforms while the last variant, the Radeon RX 5500M is aimed at mobile platforms. The graphics card will compete against NVIDIA’s existing and upcoming entry-level Turing based graphics cards that are expected to launch this month.

Good performance being touted, so hopefully a decent card for the wallets.

If RX 5500 is 4GB of VRAM, it's more likely DOA than not.

I don't get this sort of post. How on earth is 4GB not enough for a mid-range GPU? I would expect this sort of GPU to be used with lowered settings on higher resolutions or cope just fine at 1080P with most settings on max.
