I bought this card to replace the GPU in a pre-built gaming system. The MSI RX 5500 XT is nothing special, but it was better than the GPU that came pre-installed, and doubled the video memory in my rig from 4GB to 8GB. This is no GTX 2070, despite having the same amount of video memory... but it gets the job done. It gives me an acceptable frame rate of 30fps on the ground and 40fps above 10,000 ft on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on the high end setting. If I kick that up to Ultra, it runs at 21-30fps. That is a considerable improvement over Microsoft Flight Simulator’s frame rate on the stock GPU on medium... Everything else I play from Shadow of Tomb Raider to Control can run on the highest settings at about 55fps at 1080p, but I think that limit is more a function of my monitor’s refresh rate and freesync. I would not recommend going any higher than 1080p on this card. My one complaint is the height of the card and the position of the 8-pin outlet for the power cable. Using this in a pre-built system, case size was a bit of a problem, and I needed an adapter to redirect the power cable in order to get the case the close. Probably not a problem for most users, but something to consider. Ultimately, this GPU does what I need it to, and it does it while allowing me to stick to the budget I set. (Side note: the specs recommend a 450w PSU, but on a pre-built system, AMD states that you can get away with less wattage. Personally, mine uses a 400w PSU and I have no problems even when the card draws the full 130 watt TPD. Ironically, the stock card that came in my system recommended a 550w PSU...)

Bought this card online new and it came in the mail cut opened with a box cutter through the cardboard inside the package, so it was shipped like that. Probably my last thing I'm a buy from bestbuy from now on since with problems in shipping. But anyways, installed the gpu in my gaming rig I built (Ryzen 5 3600, Asus tuf x570 plus wifi, 16 GB corsair ram, Phy 500gb m.2, 600w ps) on windows 10. The card wasnt recognized by windows so it installed windows basic drivers with poor quality, downloaded the adrenaline driver for the card online and ran it when the screen went blank and never came back on. I knew the computer was still working so I fiddled around by removing the new GPU and see if it still worked on old gpu and it did so I put it back in. The problem was the HDMI cable I was using, I guess it was a lower quality cable so I changed it out with a 4k gold pin Sony Hdmi and the screen came back on. Played some games on it and it ran smooth in high detail, and the fan is quiet.

Great GPU for the price. I Am able to play most newer games at high settings on 1080p. Would recommend this card to anyone for casual gaming.

Got a 8GB 5500XT $20 cheaper than everywhere else and 2 free games + Game Pass. Also runs games very smoothly at 1080p. Unfortunately, part of the box and protective foam inside received a big gash from a boxcutter. Luckily it missed the GPU itself and the antistatic bag.

I was just needing to play games at 1080p resolution on an old in i7 3770. This card barely fit in my HP case I hadn't realized how wide (5 inches) the card was. So far this card has not let me down. I've also used it for H.265 VCE encoding and it's speed up processing times as compared to my old CPU. AMD has updated the drivers once since I've had it and I do like the ability to report bugs via the bug report option. I know there are more powerful cards out there, but for the price and my CPU capabilities, it's a fair deal in this GPU market. GPU cards never really seem to go down in price and I've been waiting since 2015 for them to do so between the Crypto mining boom and Covid disruptions. Folks will say to wait until the end of the year, but I have my doubts that card prices will fall that much on newer and more efficient lower end cards like theses. It's almost been a full year since this model came out at it's still at regular price. Hopefully with Intel getting in the market sooner than later and AMD becoming more competitive that prices will fall as they both compete with NVIDIA.
