AMD RADEON 5500 XT 1080P

First, even across 11 games, the improvement in performance at 1080p ultra is mostly minor (with a few exceptions). That's the 'more' part of the equation, but it's not a clear win and there's a reason I've scored this card slightly lower than the 4GB model. You can save $30 by purchasing the 4GB model, but long-term I don't think that's the best plan. The RX 5500 XT 8GB is a continuation of that recommendation. Except when it does, and then you could end up very sad that you cheaped out on your graphics card and now have to turn down some settings. Yes, it costs more for the higher VRAM models, and performance doesn't always improve a lot with the extra memory. I've been saying that since the GTX 1060 3GB/6GB and RX 570/580 4GB/8GB launches several years back. (Image credit: Future) AMD Radeon XT 5500 XT 8GB: more and lessДЄs a general rule, I advise people not to skimp on VRAM. That means once again that the GTX 1660 costs as much as the 5500 XT 8GB but performs about five percent better. And of the games that benefit from more VRAM, none of them seem to need more than 6GB. The difficulty AMD faces is that at 1080p-which is really the resolution you should plan on using with a mid-range or budget GPU-even at maxed out quality there aren't a ton of games that truly need more VRAM. The remaining seven games all show relatively similar performance, but there have been quite a few recent games that I'm not showing here where having more VRAM would also be beneficial (eg, Red Dead Redemption 2). Individual games show much larger gains, though-Shadow of the Tomb Raider performance improves by 9 percent, Forza Horizon 4 runs 15 percent faster, Borderlands 3 is 18 percent faster, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey opens up a 33 percent gap. Stepping up to 1080p ultra starts to favor the 8GB model over its lesser sibling, though it's only a seven percent improvement on average.

It looks better against the old GTX 970 and R9 390, however. I've included a few more GPUs this time, mostly for reference-if you're thinking about upgrading from a Vega 56, for example, the 5500 XT isn't going to be very compelling. Each game is tested multiple times, using the median result, to ensure consistency of performance. Testing is done at 1080p 'medium' and 'ultra' settings (which may go by different names, depending on the game), as well as 1440p and 'ultra' settings. I've tested 11 games for this review, with a reasonable split between games that favor AMD hardware, and games that run better on Nvidia hardware. Anyone considering the RX 5500 XT will probably be running a slightly slower CPU, but anything from the past several years should be sufficient. For budget and midrange cards, the CPU might be overkill, but it shows the highest potential performance for the graphics cards.
