XFX Radeon RX 5500 XT THICC II PRO 8G

The first video card released in 2019 was RTX 2060 , in January, while the last video card released in 2020 was AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, which saw the light of day on 12 December, that is, a year and a few days ago. This year we had other launches, much more important, most of them being concentrated in the last part of the year.

Thus, although the year begins in force, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT being launched in January, from that moment and until September we published only two articles in the category of video cards, more precisely the launch of RX 5600 XT in January, respectively a comparison between two mainstream systems based on AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and RTX 2060, in June. The other 12 articles published in the category of video cards this year were published in September / December, both Nvidia and AMD launching a new generation of products.

The RTX series 3000 brought the second generation of graphics cards that support real-time raytracing in the portfolio Nvidia, while AMD included this technology in their portfolio for the first time, by launching the AMD Raxeon RX series 6000. And if we kept talking about these two series and we will continue to talk, in this article we will probably present the latest graphics card without raytracing that we will ever test, more precisely XFX Radeon RX 5500 XT THICC II PRO 8G.

Why? Because now the people from XFX sent it for testing and because at the beginning of the month it could still be purchased for 1000 RON from stores. And because we were curious how a graphics card of 2019 RON behaves in our test suite 2020.
