Custom AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT Spotted from Gigabyte and ASRock
VideoCardz has spotted custom editions of AMD's upcoming RX 5500 XT graphics cards from AIB partners. The models, from ASRock and Gigabyte, showcase the respective companies' custom cooling solutions for the new batch of midrange graphics cards based on the Navi 14 silicon. ASRock, for one, is pictured with a Challenger graphics card which will join the company's top of the line Phantom Gaming brand. The Challenger D 8G OC (which will also be available in 4 GB VRAM) features a dual-slot, dual-fan cooler with a black shroud and yellow accents, and comes factory-overclocked to 1737 MHz. I/O is taken care of by 3x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI connectors.
Gigabyte's cards are the RX 5500 XT GAMING OC and RX 5500 XT OC. The Gaming OC already features a triple-fan WindForce 3X cooler, which might mean there is no AORUS model to be launched on their RX 5500 XT - with AORUS being a premium gaming brand, that makes relative sense. The Gaming OC also features a 1737 MHz overclocked frequency, and both it and the dual-fan RX 5500 XT OC will be available in both 4 GB and 8 GB VRAM capacities. I/O is the same for both cards: 3x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI connectors.

If you need a smaller form factor, there should be plenty of 5500.
Both 5500 and 1650 Super are perfectly capable of 1080p even in modern games on highest settings (>50fps).
You dial down some image quality settings and they'll have no trouble even in complex scenes.
I'm using a RX 570 4g with a 2560x1080 res Monitor and I'm okay as long as I use reasonable settings but I'm yet to be forced on Low or anything. 'mid-high usually'
I do plan on an upgrade but nothing overkill,something like a 1660 super and I'm curious how the better 5500XT models will do.
For 100 bucks there are tons of second-hand mining VGA's whit that performance. For me these cards are irrelevant.
I need more AMD power in my micro ITX build ;)
As long as I can stay within that range I don't mind the FPS 'single player games'.
Not everyone is okay with 0 warranty second hand hardware,on the brand new market these cards are alright imo.
Let me Fix that...
5500 will be exceeding great High-Ultra 1080p gaming, while the 5500XT looks be coming as the first $200 card to present Strong-Medium settings @ 1440p.
Such a card with moreover acceptable costing 1440p FreeSync monitors will provide AMD/RGT and Gramers a huge market shift. Something like a $30 savings goes a long way to purchasing a monitor.
One fan for budget options, two fans for high end ones. Like Pulse and Red Dragon. But a tripple fan cooling... GB either messed up badly or had an abundance of those coolers.
And please, don't try to convince me computers are about performance and not about looks.
;)
Seriously, you can't look at all products just based on performance. It's also about "bling".
From a perspective of rich Western countries this may look weird. Low and mid-range products are mostly value-oriented.
Top-end (expensive AiOs, GPUs, cases, keyboards) are more taken care of when it comes to esthetics.
But if you're in a poorer country, your budget limit may be something like GTX1660 or 5500XT.
It should be super silent unless the 5500XT is a power thirsty monster.
