Radeon RX 5500 XT vs Radeon R7 350 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 350 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5500 XT 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 5500 XT also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon R7 350 has a significantly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5500 XT at 130 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 Radeon RX 5500 XT over the Radeon R7 350.
