Differences between brands of RX 5500 XT?

[cuallito]

Hi I'm leaning toward the RX 5500 (XT) for my next upgrade. I'm looking for one that's the easiest to live with: quietest, coolest, reliable, least power hungry, etc.

Are all the brands going to be the same in those regards, or are there some that would be better to look at? Thanks.

Your best bet is to look at some reviews and see.

TPU has looked at a few I believe.

There's little here to distinguish anybody but the MSI temps and As Rock noise is high ... That's very unusual for MSI. Given the current US pricing, if you in US, (update your profile) , gotta give edge to the Giga ... fastest and I'd pay $10 to cuts sound pressure level in half which meaans As Rock, which ius thew slowest, is 23% louder.

However, given the 23% faster and higher overclocking 1660 Super, I would recommend looking at those b4 pulling the trigger
