HD 4400 vs Radeon RX 550 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 550 graphics card is better than the HD 4400 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 550 has a significantly 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 550 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon RX 550 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 1.66 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the HD 4400 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the Radeon RX 550 at 50 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 550 is better than the HD 4400.
