Few words about the ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO video card before we test it in real world conditions

ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO 2020 test

Since we needed a budget video card for one of our work machines, we decided that the ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO is a good entry-choice and bought it. 

Of course to reach to the buying part we went trough some thorough research and checked hundreds of benchmarks and tests. We believe the Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO is good for couple of reasons:

  • Budget-friendly - you can find it brand new for under $200
  • 8 GB of RAM - future-proof video card with plenty VRAM
  • PCIE 4 version - running this card on PCIE 4 enabled motherboard ensures high-speed transfer rates with the latest PCIE 4 version
  • Semiconductor size - small 7nm semiconductor size for better performance
  • Good stock clock and overclock speeds for GPU and memory 
  • GDDR 6 - higher transfer rate and improved performance compared to older versions
  • OpenCL 2 
As you can see, there are plenty of advantages that you are getting with the ASUS Dual Radeon RX 5500 XT EVO... and let me remind you again, this is a sub-$200 video card.

AIWA RS-55 Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Sensitivity In an era dominated by digital streaming and smart speakers, there is a unique satisfaction in the tactile click of an analog dial.
