PowerColor Red Dragon RX 5500 XT 8GB

The PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5500 XT is a graphics card built for 1080p gaming with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. It targets players who want high-fidelity AAA titles at up to 60 FPS and competitive esports titles at up to 90 FPS. The card uses a PCI Express 4.0 interface and includes 1408 stream processors.

Upgrade from older 1080p cards

This model replaces earlier 1080p-focused GPUs that lack PCI Express 4.0 support or sufficient video memory for modern textures. The jump is worth it when your current card cannot maintain 60 FPS in AAA games or 90 FPS in esports at 1080p resolution. The 128-bit memory interface running at 14.0 Gbps provides the bandwidth needed for current titles.

Dual-slot design with single 8-pin power

Installation follows the standard dual-slot form factor measuring 227mm in length, requiring a case with adequate clearance. A single 8-pin PCI Express power connector draws from a minimum 450W system power supply. Display outputs include SL DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort supporting up to 4096x2160 resolution. Ensure the power connector is fully seated to avoid instability.

Questions about this item

How much space does the 227mm*120mm*42 mm board need in my case?

The card measures 227 mm long, 120 mm tall and 42 mm thick, so your case must clear at least that length and a dual-slot bracket height.

Which power cable do I plug into the single 8-Pin PCI Express connector?

Connect one 8-pin PCIe cable from your PSU; the common mistake is using a 6-pin or a daisy-chained splitter instead of a dedicated 8-pin run.

When should I replace the thermal paste on the 1408 stream processor GPU?

Refresh the paste if core temperatures climb noticeably above stock after a year or two of heavy 1080p gaming loads.
