AMD Radeon 550

The Radeon 550 is an AMD GPU that was released in 2017 April. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 148 points in our PC benchmark.

It has a total memory bandwidth of 54 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 64 bits.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon 550 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1100 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1183 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon 550 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.

Power and thermals for the AMD Radeon 550 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 50 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
