Benchmark of the AMD RX 5500 places it at the level of the RX 580 but below the GTX 1660

First benchmarks of the AMD RX 5500 graphics card put it more or less on the same level as the RX 580 but behind the GTX 1660

The good moment that AMD is living in the market is starting to turn against it. They have had to delay the launch of the Ryzen 9 3950X for not reaching the frequency indicated in its presentation. The Threadripper have also been delayed a bit longer than expected. Now it is added that at the beginning of October announced the RX 5500 and this graph was never heard from again.

TSMC would be partly to blame for the launch of this chart and other products. The Taiwanese foundry is struggling to meet the demand for processors below 7nm. Among others, there is the high demand for Zen2 chips and the demand for chips by Apple.

No products found.

The new graphics would perform very similar to the RX 580

Thanks to Heise.de We know a little more about the performance of the Navi 14. This graphics card you have tested is a generic model for HP clones. For performance it is still not at the level of an NVIDIA graphics, although it can be compensated with the price.

Clearly this graphic arrives to replace the RX 580 and thus archive Polaris and the GCN architecture. The most prominent aspect is the consumption of this graph. The RX 580 Nitro + easily beat 200W for 1080p, while this graph stays at 133W. But with respect to the NVIDIA competition, it is three years late to compete in performance and consumption with the GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5.

Low resolution in 1080p offers the following performance:

• 3DMark Fire Strike: 12 111 points (12 744 points for the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro + | 12 525 points for the Gigabyte GTX 1660 OC)
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 59FPS (65FPS for the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro + | 69FPS for the Gigabyte GTX 1660 OC)
• Far Cry 5: 72FPS (75FPS for the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro + | 85FPS for the Gigabyte GTX 1660 OC)
