Should You Buy The Cheapest (and Smallest) RX 5500 XT?

You should really add gpu and cpu temperatures to your msi afterburner layout, I'm always curious how hot a cpu or gpu gets with certain cooling.

Reasons being is that I found I could free up some budget somewhere and add a little more to get a better card But on the topic of the 5500XT, I considered between this and a much cheaper 580 but ended choosing the 5500XT just because it was a new card and would, generally speaking last longer, on a system we intend to keep for a long time before the next big leap in performance

Nice overview. I've been subscribed to you for quite some time. I like the fan noise observations you made - that's certainly something i take into account when purchasing - i don't want something that sounds like a hoover. With auto o/c & throttling depending on temps, your fan performance / efficiency does make a difference. Hardware unboxed did a great review of the 5500 xt and found some intriguing results. For example, you get the same performance from a rx570 but it's loads cheaper i.e. cost per frame is something like 25% less with the 570 compared to the 5500 xt (though of course you're getting old architecture and more power consumption). There's an interesting debate too about the 4 vs 8GB 5500 xt. When looking at 1% lowers @ 1440p, they found no difference in i think 3 of the 12 games but as much as 18% loss in performance in the others, when using the lower VRAM. Additionally they thought the 1650 super edged it because the 5500 xt is underwhelming at the price point. Really difficult to know what to buy.

[@ayuchanayuko]

5500XT hands down. Similar or higher performance now, and much higher performance later with AMD FineWine. 1650S will obviously only get slower as NVidia slowly abandons it.

[@Sparkiebc]

Ayu Natsume not to mention that with both consoles on RDNA2, games will be further optimized for AMD

[@drunkwaffle6410]

Dell is selling a similar Visiontek card, same size and form factor by the looks of it. They have both a 4gb variant and an 8gb variant. The 8gb is going for 180USD.

[@gremlen]

DrunkWaffle what is the length of the card?

[@drunkwaffle6410]

Select Start Save It's 7in or 177.8mm

[@gremlen]

DrunkWaffle thanks, that’s a great deal. unfortunately it’s too big for my case. Picked up the 6.6 inch 1660 super from PNY instead. Hope it fits!

[@drunkwaffle6410]

Select Start Save The 1660s is a good card. Near gtx 1070 performance. Out of curiosity what case are you using?

[@gremlen]

DrunkWaffle hp 570 p033w. It’s a pre built that I’m trying to make the most of.

[@darrooxx]

Thnx for the review i have a old dell studio xps with a Core i5 750 it is a rebranded core i7 with GTX 960 with 2 GB . So this is a good replacement for low power supplies like the dell,

[@rpsproject5349]

Any chance of doing a video on 8GB versions of cards, is it worth the extra cash. Are 8GB cards much more expensive anyway. I'm sporting an MSI RX570 OC 8GB card. So how about it? Where has the Gull gone now there are no free chips and ice cream for it?

[@spit782]

No matter how much of you guys say or think its cheap=shit,this card is 100times better than my current one

[@chintu4191]

I am old viewer of your channel. But today i watched this video only coz i wanted too see the temperature of rx5500xt compared to 1650s on this benchmark. Coz i was thinking to buy rx5500xt. But dont mind you didn't included temperatures in benchmark, although u dont include temperatures in many benchmark video

[@jeffie8696]

For my budget builds I cand beat the price to performance of AMD unfortunately I tried an RX5700XT and the driver issues were so bad I returned it for a 2070 Super. Im glad to hear AMD have fixed their driver issues . What about the card BIOS? I have heard there were problems with the first batch of new generation AMD cards

[@YouTUBEeee]

The driver issues arent completely fixed there are just a lot less of them.

[@flashdetonate]

sorry I'm not very familiar with graphics card but does this card provide any advantages over the GeForce GTX 1660 card as they seem to be around the same price

[@walterknowsbruh]

Hey RGinHD, I have had a r9 270 since release (I know 13 year old me was a dingus) I am looking to upgrade but can't seem to scrounge up over 120 before something comes along for me to spend some of it, so I have trouble saving any over that. Any tips on the best card under 120?

[@Alobster1]

You can get a used or refurbished rx 580 for less then $100 now. The performance should be similar to this if not better. I did this and it has been great so far if you don't mind double the power consumption of the 5500

[@walterknowsbruh]

@@Alobster1 Thanks man! I've actually been looking at those but finding a reliable and well feedbacked seller is a challenge atm. I have the MSI Twin Frozer R9 270 haha so I shouldn't have too much of an issue with power consumption, my psu is 750w.

[@JezyYT]

Niiiiice! Will you be looking at the 5600xt and 1660s?

[@FalenGood]

5600 XT is better

[@fullnelsontecmo]

What grade are you in? Do you have to do classes virtually this year?

[@shahnewaz9700kf]

So can you pls look for a OEM 5500 non XT and review it in the future? Or maybe buy the entire system? 😃 You didn't mention how much this 5500XT cost you tho...

[@GamesCell]

Does GTX 1650 with no power supply requirements work on EXP GDC Beast v8 without an external power supply at all, except the laptop PCI's 75W power btw? I suggest you should make a video about it.

[@bigunclepanda1303]

what is your cooling system? and r the temps for the gpu good?

[@RaidenKaiser]

just go get a used rx 580 its the same performance and there are a ton of them working just fine on ebay with all the burnt up mining cards picked out.

[@drn4774]

I bought a Sapphire refurbished 580 and had nothing but problems with it. Send it back and got a 1650 super instead

[@tristan6509]

@@drn4774 I also bought an rx580 and it always blackscreens, opened it up and replaced the thermal paste, works fine since.

[@Alobster1]

@@drn4774 I bought a refurbished rx 480 and I had nothing but issues until I replaced the thermal paste. There was only paste on half the die out of the factory and it was probably reporting the OK temperatures from the half with paste. I re-pasted and all my issues went away.

Hey RandomGaming, can u buy the smallest rtx gpu and make a test with it ?

[@gerald8573]

Very good video!

[@CantSleepFM]

Still, I can't afford neither 😂

[@Joshua_N-A]

That price is the minimum wage in Malaysia. A whole month's salary.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

@@Joshua_N-A same here in Brazil xD this cards cost a bit more than our monthly minimum wage

[@Daniel-nb3kk]

Right now both cards are incredibly overpriced in my area, especially the 5500 XT.

[@azzamali9317]

Max presets benchmarks should also be added as everyone doesn't feels the same about High and Ultra differences. If i am buying a game i want it to look the best no matter even if i have to play at 30fps for a third person AAA title.

[@TechWithSean]

RX 5500m is a pretty decent GPU... for a Mac. I’d try one of these out if I found it cheap enough though

[@PaperReaper]

those are mobile gpus though...

[@kiblams]

It's mad that £140 is classes as entry level these days for a GPU... I bought an RX470 4 years ago for £20 more and the 5500xt is barely an upgrade. Sad times.

[@masiosareanivdelarev562]

Great video.

[@dekoldrick]

If this quarantine goes on any longer, we're gonna have to test the power if your beard.

[@Nemesizzonline]

Over here, the PowerColor isn't available, and the cheapest 5500XT is still 25 euros more expensive than the cheapest 1650S. You see a lot of channels (English, American, Austrailian etc) that say "Radeon is cheaper go get that one" , but most of the time when I look at prices here, they're not much different between nVidia or AMD, in this case, the GeForce is in fact a lot cheaper. But also, lot's of Radeons have bad availability, you can order it, but takes days maybe weeks before you get it...except for the more expensive models (same chip, but more expensive model). Still interesting cards, think these low-midrange cards sell better than the bigger cards (5700 series, or 2060/2070 series). Bit suprised it uses an 8 pin connector though...I think AMD could have made it even without a power connector, but they had to clock it all the way to the limit to compete with the 1650S (just like they did with the 5700, which could have been very energy efficient, but they just had to beat the 2070/2070s and clocked it to the limit with high power consumption as a result).

[@hansbehrends438]

How does it stack up against the R9 Nano, a six inches long card with 4096 shaders, 1GHz GPU clock and HBM from 2015? Also, requires one 8-pin I bought it for $100
