Upgraded from a card that performance wise probably feels a bit similar to this that being the gtx 1060 6gb to a rx 6600 i know the rx 6600xt is the slightly better variant but due to budget costs and the rx 6600 being in a good price range i gunned it and so far rx 6600 been doing well with my i3 12100f there.

Best bang fur the buck at the moment is the sub 300 quid Rx 6650 xT, I paired it with a i7 10700 (non k) 32gb 3600 and works brilliantly, you've still got a great upgrade path if you ever decide to up the cpu a bit

I still have a 4GB RX 580, which is very close to this card (albeit noisier and "hungrier") in my secondary build and if you don't play the newest games, it's a wonderful card even for 144Hz gaming (Don't go any higher though, it will struggle for nothing). The number of games that are satisfied with 4GB of memory for high/ultra settings could last you a lifetime. BTW 04:10 I think the upcoming R5 5600X3D might be a wonderful choice for a budget CPU upgrade, at least for a gaming-first build...if AMD price it right, that is....

I'm on a 5600 and don't imagine it would do much better with 3d cache. May as well get the 5800X3D for the slight speed bump as well as the cache.

@@blunderingfool if the 5600x3d is anything alike its brothers (5800x3d, 7600x3d, ...) it will probably outperform the 5600 by ~30% or more in gaming workloads as they are often limmited by cash size.

Thank you. I've always been curious about this exact card. It's not really much of an upgrade from what I have but, it is indeed interesting.

[@maxhand1562]

I bought an HP prebuilt with one of these in it mainly for the 5600G that came in it as they were not available outside of OEM builds at that time. I found it a very capable system and used it for a secondary machine for about a year. I'd often use it instead of my main rig for gaming as I'd be doing some other task on the main one. I was going to sell the HP system as I've not used it in about a year, but now I'm eager to try Hogwarts Legacy on it and see what my results are.

[@MyNameIsBucket]

I had this exact model. Pulled it out of a friend's HP desktop (that he eventually replaced with an RTX3060) and put it into a custom i3 running SteamOS. I managed to get a few hundred for it.

[@jameslake7775]

I've got an RX 5300, but no RX 5500 for comparison, a different test system, and don't have most of the games featured here. In what I *have* tested though, it's slightly ahead of my GTX 970 and ties my A380 in DX12/beats it in DX9-11, as long as you don't run out of VRAM? Problem is that with only 3gb the VRAM issue is even more acute, and the pricing in the US between the 5300, 5500, 5500XT 4gb, and 5500XT 8gb is really close. There's little point to tracking one down unless you really love weird GPUs.

[@marvinspowers]

I have a 10 year old prebuilt with an i7 4790 and I put a 1050 ti in it 2 years ago. About 5 months ago I upgraded to an RX 6600 non XT card and made sure to get a new power supply for it's power. Turns out the motherboard has PCIE express 2.0 so my 6600's VRAM is bottlenecked because it's PCIE slot is x8 and my 1050 ti was x16. So I downgraded my VRAM's speed but added more power in a different way. But the 8 GB is WAY better than the 4 GB I did have and Red dead runs great but things just don't load right. The game bugs out a lot and tells me I don't have enough VRAM even on the lowest settings. But I can still run it at high/ultra settings!

one thing i noticed is that the power consumption was under 100w or even around the low 90s the whole time.

The numbers suggest a RX580 outperforms a RX5500 despite the newer card being 4.0 PCIe interface compared to the 580's 3.0 so it is a close run thing. 580 also uses a bit more power if that is a consideration so smaller PSU for the 5500 is a plus there too. Its quite remarkable that a gDDR6 model struggled hard against a lesser gDDR5 model but you will notice the bus is double on the 580 proving again that you can have the newest bits but strangled by that damned bus interface.
