Now finally, after a three-month wait, the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT is here targeting AAA gameplay at 1080p. With MSRPs of $169 (4GB) and $199 (8GB), AMD’s latest Navi cards compete with the GTX 1650 Super ($169.99) and GTX 1660 ($199.99), with AMD touting performance that punches above the 1650 Super in several titles.
AMD launched its latest RNDA architecture in the summer of 2019 with the Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700. The faster XT variant performed well, beating out Nvidia’s RTX 2060 Super by an average of around 10% at the time, with the non-XT 5700 not far behind. Although it used more power than the RTX 2060 Super, the flagship XT offered smooth gameplay at 1440p and is a viable alternative to the ray tracing-capable RTX 2060 Super at the same $400 price point.
These new AMD cards planted a flag in the mid-range segment, putting Team Green on notice. Flash forward to October, when AMD announced the RX 5500 series cards would be released, targeting the budget market. Since then, we’ve seen Nvidia update its mainstream Turing lineup, releasing ‘Super’ variants of the GTX 1660 and GTX 1650. These cards offered more performance previous iterations, filling in the performance gaps between the SKUs with only a small increase in price.
