Two AIB SKUs of the Radeon RX 5500 XT have leaked online, the photos seem to be materials released to distributors, meaning a launch is close.

The ASRock card is based on the Phantom Gaming and called Challenger D 8G OC. 8G indicates 8GB of graphics memory, but 4GB would become available as well. The card is listed running 1737 MHz (reference is 1717 MHz). It ships with 3x DP and 1x HDMI connectors.

Gigabyte has a leak on their hands as well, two models are online, Gaming OC and ‘OC’. The Gaming OC clocks in at 1737 MHz (1717 MHz reference) and will be available with 8GB and 4GB of GDDR6 memory. Have a peek, courtesy of videocardz.

I don't believe I'm a likely purchaser of the RX 5500, but if I was, I'd likely avoid these Gigabyte models. The shroud and backplate look strikingly similar to a friends GTX 1660 Super I had a chance to examine, and unfortunately not only was the backplate on that card constructed entirely of plastic, but also the diagonal "vents" that appear to be present are simulated. At least the ASRock card's backplate appears as though it *might* be aluminum, or hopefully something a bit more thermally conductive than polystyrene. Maybe not.

Nowadays, Ill avoid GPUs from Gigabyte.
Sorry, but I had my share of repairing some, and wasn't pleasant. Not that in itself is a pleasant experience, but quality lacks in GPU departament.

Must agree with anticupidon. In my country, GB cards are the cheapest to get, but that doesn't mean we should get a card with subpar cooling and rattling fans with random rpm speed when idle.
