AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT Graphics Card (8GB GDDR6) ASRock Challenger ITX
£164.99
Product Description
Product Overview
The AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT is a mid‑range graphics solution built on AMD's RDNA architecture, targeting 1080p and entry‑level 1440p gaming. With a compact form factor and efficient power envelope, this card delivers solid frame rates in modern titles while remaining suitable for small‑case builds. The 8 GB of high‑speed GDDR6 memory, paired with a 128‑bit memory interface, provides ample bandwidth for texture‑rich environments and smooth gameplay at 1080p with high settings. Its 130 W total board power means it can be powered by a modest 450 W PSU, making it an attractive upgrade for systems that previously relied on integrated graphics or older GPUs. The card also supports a range of AMD technologies such as FreeSync, HDR, and Radeon Boost, which together improve visual fidelity and responsiveness without a heavy performance penalty.
Designed for gamers and content creators who need a reliable, low‑profile solution, the RX 5500 XT balances performance and efficiency. The chip’s 1408 stream processors handle shader workloads efficiently, while the boost clock of up to 1845 MHz pushes peak performance when the workload demands it. The card’s PCIe 4.0 x8 interface ensures future‑proof bandwidth, yet it remains fully backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots. With support for DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and four simultaneous displays, it is ready for both immersive gaming and multi‑monitor productivity setups.
Key Features & Hardware Capabilities
- Architecture & Execution Units: Based on AMD's RDNA architecture, the GPU houses 1408 stream processors, delivering efficient compute performance for rasterisation and compute tasks.
- Memory Subsystem: Equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at an effective 14 Gbps, connected via a 128‑bit bus, providing a balanced bandwidth for 1080p‑focused gaming.
- Clock Speeds & Power: Core clock operates at 1607 MHz with a boost ceiling of 1845 MHz. The board is rated at 130 W TDP, and AMD recommends a 450 W power supply for stable operation.
- Modern Feature Support: Supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, AMD FreeSync, HDR, Radeon Boost, and VR‑ready capabilities. Output options include three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors and one HDMI 2.0b port, allowing up to four displays simultaneously.
