Radeon RX 550X vs Radeon RX Vega M GL benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX Vega M GL beats the Radeon RX 550X in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 550X has a slightly 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 550X also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon RX 550X has a slightly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon RX Vega M GL at 65 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX Vega M GL is better than the Radeon RX 550X.
