Customers highly value the AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card's performance and affordable price. Many users report significant improvements in video rendering and overall image quality compared to integrated graphics. The card is praised for its ability to deliver a good gaming experience at a reasonable cost. Positive feedback consistently highlights its strong performance and attractive price point.
I think that I left another review, but this review will get me bonus points. This card is a bit Jekyll and Hyde. Works really nicely in Windows 7. Drivers installed easily. Graphics acceleration is quite impressive. I'm running two monitors, and they both are driven correctly and at their correct resolutions. Rendering videos has improved sharply. They render in probably two-thirds of the time, and the video card doeesn't overheat and cause the computer to shut down. In Linux, driver installation has been a bit nightmarish. The official AMDGPU-PRO drivers will only work with certain Linux distributions and certain kernels. Read Internet postings thoroughly. I've tried the Mesa drivers. Neither allows me to run the two monitors correctly. One always turns off. And I'm not getting video acceleration. I'm planning to build a new PC in three months, so I'll see if this will correct the issue. The price of this was very attractive, although it was higher than it was a couple of months ago, thanks to cryptominers snapping up every mid- and high-end range card in sight. Despite all of this, I have no hesitation recommending this card for Windows users.

Nice low profile graphics card. Runs off motherboard power so no extra connectors needed. Low power use quiet fan and good performance.

When I installed the card, the screen was very dark. I had to look at the settings for the card (the Radeon settings, not the Windows 10 settings) to find the right combination to make this card look right. I will say, though, the screen looks a lot better than with the integrated graphics. Gaming is OK, but I wouldn't use this for recent AAA titles.
