Radeon RX 5500 XT GAMING X 8G

This MSI graphics card uses the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT GPU with 1408 stream processors. It runs at a core clock of 1685 MHz and a boost clock of 1845 MHz. The board carries 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit interface clocked at 14 Gbps. It connects via PCI Express 4.0 and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6.

1080p gamers and multi-monitor users

The card suits players targeting 1080p resolution with high refresh rates and creators who need up to four displays. It offers one HDMI 2.0b port and three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. Buyers aiming at 1440p ultra settings or 4K gaming should look at higher-tier GPUs with wider memory buses and more VRAM.

PCIe 4.0 platform with adequate power

Install the card in a PCI Express 4.0 slot to use the full interface bandwidth; it also works in 3.0 slots at reduced speed. The 128-bit memory bus and 8GB frame buffer free up system RAM for other tasks. Ensure your power supply has the required 8-pin connectors and that your case has enough length clearance for a dual-fan design.
