Sufficient Wadlbeißer: AMD Radeon RX 550 in test

The Radeon RX 550 is actually the only one of AMD's now-launched graphics cards to be truly new and runs internally as Polaris 12. It is clearly aimed at the entry-level area for less than 100 euros and thus occupies a market niche in which Nvid... Appearances, dimensions and connections The card, which is very light with 282 grams, is only 15.5 cm long, 10.5 cm high and occupies exactly two slots with a depth of 3.5 cm.

Dota 2 – Medium Settings

First, we let Dota 2 run with mediocre settings and drag Intel's slightly tired HD530 just as much. The other three cards are more bored by the CPU and differ only marginally.

 

Also for this the individual maps in detail:

 

Dota 2 – Maxed Out

We now let Intel's integrated graphics take a pee and visually set Dota 2 for the best possible look. The remaining three cards still perform neatly and are all quite close together. Most of it, however, is again a noticeable CPU limitation, even if the difference between the cards is already a bit larger. However, all three candidates are playable in the field almost equally.

 

Even if there are only three maps, the detail view per map also shows the last information about the benchmark history.:

 

World of Warcraft Quality Level 4

Finally, the Evergreen and the mother of all sleepless cellar nights must not be missing. Again, this already applies to Starcraft II and we can state that the Radeon RX 550 is often hardly slower than the target group-compliant substructure actually gives it.

 

Now again the individual maps in detail:

 

World of Warcraft Quality Level 10

Now let's leave the integrated Intel solution out and tighten the gait a little to get out of the obvious CPU limit (Min-FPS). The distances change only minimally and even the nominally fastest card cannot settle down properly.

 

Now for the last time the individual maps also in detail:
