XFX - AMD Radeon RX 550 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black/Red

This video card is a little bit dated, but that does not stop it from preforming. I played Final Fantasy Online, in 1080p, 40fps average. You are still able to slightly overclock and see a good performance boost. The RX560 and RX570 would be the better choice. I will keep this for a backup video card. If you are using Ryzen 2200G or Ryzen 3200g you will see a slight bump in quality and performance. I would recommended RX570 or higher to see a greater performance bump.

My daughter needed something for her HP Elite mini tower for some of her gaming. This worked perfectly for her. No more lagging. Install was simple and had it up and going in 20 minutes including software update.

I'm not doing much with it, so the fans are off most of the time, which is the primary thing I was looking for, along with Win10 compatible drivers and something at least as good as the old card I was replacing (a Radeon HD 4770 that had no Win10 drivers and a fan that was getting annoyingly loud). I do some video encoding from time to time (converting VHS to WinDV to MP4) and the speed seems to be at least 2-3x faster with hardware encoding that my old card didn't have. Haven't really pushed the GPU memory or processing past maybe 20%, but I'm not gaming with it, either, so probably more card than I needed.

He is 10 and installed it himself. He loves it! It was within his price range for his first gaming computer. I don’t know much about PC gaming but he said it 40 times faster and he will not leave the fame alone since he put in his graphics card lol.

Fantastic value buy for 1st time builds and people on a budget. This card can handle a good portion of today games running 60 fps paired with a AMD Ryzen 5.

If you can get this under $80 then it's a good deal. It won't do anything different from the single fan version. I needed a powerful card for a small form factor build, so I ended up trading this for the PNY 4GB overclocked edition single fan that can do 1080P gaming a lot easier.

Most of the NVIDIA cards these days require some additional work to get working with the various Linux distros. This Radeon works with Linux right out of the box. Fedora 31 to be exact. The plastic feels cheap to be fair, but that's to be expected for a card at this price point. It's also pretty quiet.

Purchased as a gift for a family member who was having noise issues with their ~10 year old graphics card. Works quietly and allows them to browse the web and YouTube without issue, though I don't know how well it would handle anything more than light gaming. Easy to install since it only needed a single 6 pin PCIe connection, had it up and running in no time.
