GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q vs Radeon RX 5500M benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 5500M in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 5500M has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 5500M also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5500M at 85 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q over the Radeon RX 5500M.
