AMD Radeon RX 5500

Released in 2019, the Radeon RX 5500 is a GPU from AMD. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is an average card for gaming with a score of 27%.

The Radeon RX 5500 has 4 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 218 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon RX 5500 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1670 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1845 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon RX 5500 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.

The AMD Radeon RX 5500 has a TDP of 150W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
