Many appreciate the card's effective cooling system and quiet operation during use. However, some users experienced challenges with driver stability, occasionally leading to system crashes.

    Great GPU for the current price. But trust me, you’re better off just saving your cash and getting the 5700xt, skip this one.

    Great card, subpar chipset.

    It's not bad for what it is. Not gonna run anything new at max settings and give you any kind of decent framerate. But, if you're like me and you needed a gpu, and there was nothing else you could buy (literally) it gets the job done. The card itself is well built, and the cooler is capable. Backplate is just plastic, so if has no function other than looking nice, which it does. I really have no complaints about the card, for what it is. Buy it if there's nothing else. You'll be disappointed, but that's not the fault of the actual product, but the chipset it's built off of.

    Great Budget Graphic Card. It is the cheapest 5500xt card and you get a bonus game. You can play pretty much at games at high settings in 1080p. The design is sleek with matte black.

    Great card for eGPU

    Great Card, works well with my eGPU setup iMac 2017 with both Bootcamp Windows and Mac OS Monterey at the moment. That setup did take some driver downloads etc. but the card works great once it was on the proper versions of Windows with the correct drivers. Increased the Geekbench 5 metal score of 31112 (iMac AMD 570) to 42983 with the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 550- for a total 38% performance gain. Seems to translate well into FPS boosts on most Steam games I've tried including Star Wars: The Old Republic and Hitman.

    This is a great entry level GPU that can run games in 1440p at 60fps. I tested it with Genshin Impact and Spellbreak on my PC and it worked flawless.

    I originally bought two of them for the Crossfire compatibility per Best Buy's website. All other specs were good for the price except they actually are NOT Crossfire compatible per the AMD website. Traded for the RX580 which are compatible. Would recommend if you aren't looking for a Crossfire option

    This GPU is best 1080p 60hz gaming AMD graphic card before RX 6000 series. MSI’s manufacturing and cooling system is also solid. The recent driver gives it a boost comparing to its Nvidia rival, which is GTX 1650 super that both cards are really close in gaming performance right now. If its price goes down 200 while RX 6000 option not available yet, I will definitely recommend this card.

    Great card. Bought it and came in within a week. I paired it with a Ryzen 3100 running @ 4.2. GHz. Runs games at a good frame rate for the price. Runs fortnite on competitive settings at 300 in creative and 200 in game. Rust runs at 100 on moderate settings. And COD Cold War runs at 120 on moderate settings.

    I upgraded to this card to play mostly Fallout 4 and World of Tanks. My frame rates are generally 60 FPS and Better playing either game. I have never heard my video card when playing any games. I think it could have had more types of output ports but other than that, I am really happy.
