    Got this graphics card only a couple weeks ago but it hasn’t had any issues. Affordable and runs all my games really well. I need to upgrade my cpu before I can truly push it but it’s a good device. Super easy installation. Would personally have preferred 2 HDMI ports but that’s just because I currently have a separate audio system.

    Good graphics for mid grade card

    The card is actually pretty good for the price. On a mid-grade card it runs games without issues, and the freesync works very well if you have a compatible monitor. No overheating like the former AMD, and overclock through the software is easy and can be done safely. Power consumption is pretty critical so make sure you have the power supply and wattage left to power it up.

    Better than I expected

    I hadn't built a high-end computer in almost 20 years, but the issues I was having with the laptops I'd been using lately convinced me to go back to my old hobby. I built a system using an x570 motherboard, a Ryzen 9 3600x processor, 64 GB of RAM, and SSD drives for storage. I'd intended to get an nvidia 3080 video card, but those were too hard to get, so I eventually settled on this as a short term solution until I could get one. (I really wanted to play Flight Simulator 2020, so I needed something fast.) The thing is... I've been using it for the past two months and I don't have a need to upgrade. My system runs FS 2020 at an average of 54 FPS with everything turned to high (a couple of settings are set to Ultra). The AMD software that tracks that stuff suggests turning more options up, but I'm happy where they are. I really didn't expect this kind of performance from a card from the last generation, but I'm glad I went ahead with the purchase. I think I got it when there was a dip in the price during the latest generation's "launch", because now they are more expensive than what I paid.

    Purchased as an upgrade for my aging RX 570 4gb and I am very satisfied. It plays all the game I have on maximum settings on full HD 1080p with no issues and it runs quiet as well. I will be keeping this for a year or two before upgrading again.

    And drivers can be a pain at first but man i am in love with this card! At a kind of reasonable price this may be one of the better 5500 cards. Bad that it has no led except for a power light but it does it’s job and does it well, I’ve been able to keep a steady 75 frames (what my current monitor allows but i have ordered a 144hz supported one). The hd 1080p resolution is crisp clean , and the upscaling for 1440p holds steady (if you have a 1080p monitor). With a better monitor incoming, I’m more than sure I’ll be even more impressed with this card. I’m even looking to grab a 6000 series from amd when back in stock. Loving what they’ve done

    Most high end cards are above 500 dollars or more but this card was in the 300 hundred dollar range and gives those expensive cards a run for their money. This card provides all the necessary gaming graphics power you need for your games!

    good graphics card I get a average of 130 fps on call of duty and I haven't even overclocked it. The Radeon program doesn't actually record so you still have to download OBS.

    I was a little doubtful on this card considering all the new releases that only scalpers have. But even running Cyberpunk 2077 and Ryzen 7 3700x im hitting around 55-65fps on almost all Ultra... So not bad for the money at all...

    I've been using an old ATI radeon 5700 series card from 2012 and this was the most amazing upgrade ever. i thought the ultra settings on my games would never get touched, now im looking for mods to bring even larger textures and resolutions to the table since this card can take the punishment!!! Game cube emulation at 4K rendering resolution? - No prob!! Black ops 3 modded maps on max settings? - Over 100 FPS always!! Minecraft with all the shader pack glory? - You betcha!!!

    Great GPU for a Linux desktop with recent kernel 5.7, Mesa 20 and the latest linux-firmware files. Also does 10 bit display with a compatible display-port display(must manually edit xorg.conf for it to work) Low power, very quiet, fan is off most of the time except under heavy load. I'm not much of a gamer so I can't comment of frame rates and times.

    This is the second of these I have bought for custom PC builds. They are power efficient and have decent 1080P gaming performance. Definitely more economical than comparable nVidia cards.

    For $239.99 it's not bad for 1080p gaming. I'm currently using it as a loaner until I can get my hands on a rtx 3080 or 3090 card. I can't play some of my games, for example God Fall and watchdogs 3. I can barely run Destiny 2 @ 1080p, what is really funny at 1080 medium settings I get on average 90-100 fps, but the game gets really choppy. Not an enjoyable experience. For the money however it is a very solid card.
