You better grab some coffee as we have five Radeon RX 5500 XT reviews ready for you. We'll test the 4GB and 8GB models. The new cards in an MSRP configuration will sell at $169 (4GB) / $199 (8 GB) in an aim to battle NVIDIA with the GeForce GTX 1650 Super. AMD today announces the long-awaited Radeon RX 5500 XT, pretty much with the specification you've all expected, including GDDR6 based memory on a 128-bit wide bus. These cards are not a slough by any standard though as they perform in the Radeon RX 580 and even 590 performance ranges. That means proper Full HD 1920x1080 gaming, but with 8GB of graphics memory, they hold ground in WQHD 2560x1440 as well.

We have a deck full of cards for you to read up on: MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT GamingX 8GB review - ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO 8GB review - Gigabyte Radeon 5500 XT Gaming 8GB review - PowerColor Radeon 5500 XT Red Dragon 8GB review and Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB review.
