Biostar Radeon RX 550 4GB entry graphics

This Biostar Radeon RX 550 card delivers 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit interface with 96 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU runs at a boost clock of 1183 MHz and provides 512 stream processors. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and outputs via HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4a and Dual Link DVI-D. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 are supported.

Suited for 1080p basics and media decoding

The card handles mainstream 1080p titles at modest settings and accelerates H.264 and H.265/HEVC decode and encode up to 4K. FreeSync and Vulkan API support benefit budget gaming monitors. It is not aimed at high-refresh 1440p play, heavy compute workloads or modern AAA titles that demand more memory bandwidth and shader throughput.

4GB GDDR5 covers light gaming and 4K video

The 4GB frame buffer and 6.0 Gbps memory speed give headroom for 1080p textures and 4K HDR playback through the HDMI 4K60 or DisplayPort 1.4 HDR outputs. Bandwidth limits appear in memory-heavy scenes at higher resolutions or with large texture packs, where the 128-bit bus and 96 GB/s ceiling become bottlenecks.

Questions about this item

Does this card need a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot on the motherboard to work?

Yes, the RX 550 uses a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface and will run in any compatible x8 or larger slot.

Will the RX 550 run in an older system that only has a PCI Express 2.0 slot?

The card is backward compatible with PCI Express 2.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to 2.0 speeds.

How can I confirm the 1183 MHz core clock and 1500 MHz memory clock are active after installing the driver?

Open Radeon Software and check the performance overlay; it will show the real-time core and memory frequencies matching the rated speeds.
