Radeon RX 5500 XT vs Radeon RX 7600 XT specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 5500 XT in our tests.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 7600 XT has significantly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 5500 XT has a significantly lower TDP at 130 W when compared to the Radeon RX 7600 XT at 190 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 7600 XT is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 XT.
