AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT
Major features are RDNA architecture, 7nm manufacturing, and PCIe Gen 4.0 support. This slide pretty much is exactly the same as the one from the announcement with a couple of extra specifications we now know. The specifications shown in that original slide from the announcement were the specs for the Radeon RX 5500 XT.
We now know the specs shown represented the Radeon RX 5500 XT. It has 22 Compute Units, 1408 Stream Processors, a game clock of 1717MHz and a boost clock of 1845MHz with a 128-bit memory interface and GDDR6. The added bits for this new slide indicate the video card will have two configurations, a 4GB model and an 8GB model with 14GHz memory. The total board power will be 130W.
From the reviewer’s guide we have a bit more detail on those specifications shown above. This is, of course, NAVI with 6.4 Billion Transistors and 158mm2 die size. It also has 32 ROPs and 88 Texture Units. The memory bandwidth is 224GB/sec.
Performance
AMD’s projected performance is compared to a GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB video card. Performance differences are all over the place and depend greatly on the game. It can be as small as 6%, or as big as 30% in one game. This shows how performance is going to really depend on the game.
8GB Models
One major advantage this video card may have over the competition is that it will come in 8GB variants. The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER only comes in 4GB for example. This could provide a performance advantage to the Radeon RX 5500 XT in certain games. It should at least allow you to raise in-game settings without hitting VRAM limits at 1080p.
Game Bundle
AMD will also be offering a game bundle called Raise the Game. It will offer Monster Hunger World: Iceborn Master Edition + 3 months XBOX game pass. Many add-in-board partners will be customizing video cards based on this GPU with robust cooling and factory overclocks. These designs are available in etail on shelves today.
