Specifikacije dizajna i hardvera

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafička kartica ima veliku zaštitnu ploču na stražnjoj strani. Kao što je slučaj sa svim uređajima Republic of Gamers , ima prekrasan dizajn s tankim linijama i velikim ROG logotipom. Stražnja ploča je metalna, a služi u dvije svrhe: štiti karticu od savijanja i pomaže pri odvođenju topline.

Iako AMD nije izbacio referentnu Radeon RX 5500 XT grafičku karticu, kada pogledamo sustav hlađenja koji je ASUS odlučio postaviti na ovaj GPU , imamo osjećaj da je mnogo učinkovitiji od onoga što bi AMD ponudio. ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafička kartica ima dva aksijalna ventilatora . Drugim riječima, ventilatori imaju male glavčine, ali velike lopatice i rade tako što stvaraju razlike u tlaku kako bi stvorili protok zraka. Ovi ventilatori nisu samo učinkoviti, već se mogu i vrtjeti manjom brzinom od ventilatora s kanalima, pa su i tiši.

ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500^{(ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500)} XT također podržava ASUS -ovu AURA Sync tehnologiju, što znači da ima RGB LED svjetla koje možete prilagoditi na bilo koji način. Međutim, na njoj nema puno LED dioda^(LEDs) - samo jedan logotip Republic of Gamers koji se nalazi sa strane kartice, između dva ventilatora.

Grafička kartica dolazi s Dual BIOS- om : njezin firmware vam omogućuje pokretanje u OC ( OverClock ) načinu ili tihom^(Silent) načinu rada. Prema zadanim postavkama, kartica radi u OC načinu rada, ali možete koristiti namjenski prekidač da biste omogućili tihi^(Silent) način rada ako biste radije imali manje buke i ako ste u redu s nešto višim temperaturama.

Što se tiče fizičkih dimenzija, ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafička kartica je prilično velika. Zauzima dva utora i ima 11 x 5 x 2,3 inča dužine x širine x debljine. U centimetrima, to je 28 x 12,7 x 5,8.

Pogledajmo više tehničkih specifikacija kartice: ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT izrađen je pomoću AMD -ove RDNA ( Navi ) arhitekture, na 7-nanometarskom proizvodnom procesu. Kada je postavljen na OC BIOS (overclocking) način rada, takt igre je 1737 MHz , a najviša frekvencija koju može postići u boost modu je 1865 MHz . Također ima veliku količinu grafičke memorije: 8 GB GDDR6 koji radi na 14 Gbps na 128-bitnoj memorijskoj sabirnici. Iako dobro radi na PCI Express 3.0 , također podržava PCIe 4.0 zahvaljujući svojoj RDNAarhitektura. Što se tiče API-ja^(APIs) , kartica podržava DirectX 12 i OpenGL 4.6 .

Što se tiče dostupnih izlaza zaslona, ​​ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT dolazi s četiri priključka za prikaz i prihvaća maksimalno 4 zaslona koja se mogu istovremeno povezati na njega: dostupna su tri DisplayPort 1.4 i jedan HDMI 2.0b port. Maksimalna razlučivost koju možete dobiti je 7680 x 4320 piksela.

Kako bi dobio svu potrebnu električnu energiju, ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT treba samo jedan dodatni 8-pinski konektor za napajanje. Nadalje, budući da zahtjev za strujom nije tako velik, ASUS kaže da bi jedinica napajanja od 450 W trebala biti dovoljna za korištenje ove kartice u dobrom stanju.^(Watts)

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT je grafička kartica koja izgleda dobro. Što je još važnije, njegove hardverske specifikacije pokazuju da bi trebao biti u mogućnosti pokrenuti bilo koju igru ​​uz izvrsnu brzinu kadrova u rezoluciji od ^{(The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT is a graphics card that looks good. What's even more important, its hardware specs show that it should be able to run any game at excellent frame rates in)} 1080p ^{(1080p resolutions)}. Da vidimo je li to istina:^{(. Let's see if that's true:)}

Performanse u igrama i mjerilima

Kako bismo provjerili razinu performansi koju nudi ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafička kartica, igrali smo nekoliko igara i proveli niz mjerila. Ovo je hardver i softver koji smo koristili za testiranje ovog GPU-a:

• Procesor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 jezgri, 16 niti, osnovni takt 3600 ^{(Base Clock 3600)} MHz , maksimalni boost takt 4600 ^{(Max Boost Clock 4600)} MHz )
• Matična ploča: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memorija: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB (2 x 8 GB, 3600 MHz )
• Pohrana: ADATA XPG Gammix S50 1 TB SSD (PCIe 4.0 x4)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ zakrivljeni gaming monitor^{(ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor)} (32-inčni WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz)
• Napajanje: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operativni sustav: Windows 10 Pro x64 s ažuriranjem iz studenog 2019^{(November 2019 Update)}
• GPU upravljački programi: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition verzija 19.12.3^{(Edition Version 19.12.3)}

Kako bismo dobili jasniju predodžbu o tome koliko je brz ASUS -ov Radeon RX 5500 XT, također smo usporedili njegove performanse s onom ASRock - ovog Radeon RX 5700 XT. 5700 XT cilja na igrače koji žele igrati igre u 1440p, dok 5500 XT cilja na 1080p.

Počeli smo testiranjem grafičke kartice sa World War^{(World War Z)} Z. Koristeći Vulkan API i postavke kvalitete grafike Ultra , na rezoluciji 2560 x 1440, dobili smo minimalno 59 sličica u sekundi (fps), prosječni fps od 68, a maksimalni fps od 98. U rezoluciji od 1920 x 1080 piksela, minimalni fps je bio 96, prosjek 105, a maksimalni 144. Kao što vidite, ASUS -ov Radeon RX 5500 XT može gurnuti 60 fps ili više, i u 1080p i 1440p, što je izvrsno.

U Star Control : Origins, koji koristi DirectX 11 , mjerili smo broj sličica u sekundi koristeći najviše grafičke postavke. Kada smo igrali u rezoluciji od 2560 x 1440 piksela, imali smo minimalni fps od 50, prosjek 75, a maksimalni fps od 97. U rezoluciji 1920 x 1080 vidjeli smo minimalnu vrijednost fps od 58, prosječno 87 , i maksimalno 122 fps. Iako u 1440p minimalni fps može pasti ispod 60, u 1080p minimalni broj okvira je blizu 60, a prosjek je znatno iznad te vrijednosti.

U Battlefield V , popularnoj igri, ali i vrlo zahtjevnoj u smislu hardverskih resursa, koristili smo DirectX 12 API i postavke Ultra kvalitete. Kada smo igrali igru ​​u 1440p, imali smo minimalni fps 21, prosjek 51, a maksimum 70. Prelaskom na 1080p, minimalni fps je bio 58, prosjek 72, a maksimalni 99. Slično kao i rezultati vidjeli smo u prethodnim igrama, i ovdje 5500 XT radi odličan posao u 1080p.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider ima vrhunske vizuale koje mnoge grafičke kartice teško mogu renderirati. Za ovu smo koristili DirectX 12 , TAA ( temporal Anti-Aliasing ) i najvišu^(Highest) kvalitetu grafike. Kada smo radili u rezoluciji od 2560 x 1440 piksela, izmjerili smo minimalno 35 fps, prosječno 43, a najviše 63. U rezoluciji 1920 x 1080 vidjeli smo minimalno 51 fps, prosječno 67 i maksimalno od 103. Ovi rezultati pokazuju da ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafička kartica može pokrenuti ovu igru ​​nudeći izvrsne performanse u 1080p, a, ako smanjite kvalitetu grafike, iu 1440p.

U Tom Clancy 's The Division 2 , koristeći DirectX 12 i unaprijed postavljenu kvalitetu grafike Ultra , dobili smo prosječne fps od 39 fps na rezoluciji 1440p i 58 fps na rezoluciji od 1080p. Ovo je još jedna potvrda da je grafička kartica 5500 XT namijenjena igračima koji igraju na 1080p monitorima, iako možete dobiti odlične rezultate i na 1440p ako snizite kvalitetu grafike igre.

Metro Exodus je iznimno zahtjevan u smislu sirove grafičke snage. Koristeći DirectX 12 , Ultra video preset i rezoluciju od 2560 x 1440 piksela, dobili smo samo minimalno 17 fps, prosječno 30 fps i maksimalno 43 sličica u sekundi. U 1080p imali smo minimalno 19, u prosjeku 37, a maksimalno 58. To znači da, ako želite igrati Metro Exodus na PC-u opremljenom ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT grafičkom karticom, trebate koristite rezoluciju od 1920 x 1080 piksela i postavite igru ​​na nisku ili srednju kvalitetu grafike.

Igrali smo i Fortnite na ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT. Koristili smo Epic vizualne postavke igre i DirectX 12 . U 1440p, minimalni fps je bio 41, prosjek 62, a maksimalni 84. Kada smo koristili rezoluciju od 1920 x 1080 piksela, igra je renderirala minimalno 59 fps, prosječno 90 fps, a maksimalno 107 fps fps. Zaključak koji možemo izvući je isti kao i za ostale igre koje smo testirali: 5500 XT radi vrlo dobro u 1080p, ali u 1440p morate smanjiti kvalitetu grafike ako želite da broj sličica u sekundi prelazi 60 .

U Apex Legends , koristeći najvišu kvalitetu grafike, GPU je renderirao minimalno 42 fps, prosječno 62 fps i maksimalno 77 fps na rezoluciji od 1440p. U rezoluciji 1920 x 1080 imali smo minimalno 67 fps, prosječno 87 fps i maksimalno 113 fps. U ovoj igri, grafička kartica gura znatno iznad 60 sličica u sekundi u 1080p, a također radi dobro u 1440p. Međutim, ako idete na 1440p, ipak bismo vam preporučili da smanjite kvalitetu grafike na srednju kako biste bili sigurni da je čak i najmanji broj fps iznad 60.

Konačno, također smo pokrenuli nekoliko gaming benchmarka od 3DMark i Unigine . U 3DMark-ovom Time Spyu^{(Time Spy)} , koji radi na DirectX 12 iu rezoluciji od 2560 x 1440 piksela, imali smo ocjenu od 5180 bodova. U Unigine SuperPositionu^{(Unigine SuperPosition)} , na Extreme grafičkoj predpostavci i u 1080p, dobili smo ocjenu od 2717 bodova s ​​DirectX 11 i 2107 bodova s ​​OpenGL-om^(OpenGL) .

Važna je i energija koju troši video kartica. Prema našim mjerenjima, ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500^{(ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500)} XT grafička kartica troši do 127 W. ^(Watts)To znači da je preporuka ASUS -a za korištenje jedinice za napajanje koja može isporučiti najmanje 450 W^(Watts) vrijedi. To je također mala potražnja od strane igrača koji žele izgraditi pristupačno računalo za igranje.

Što se tiče topline koju proizvodi ova grafička kartica, otkrili smo da ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT ne postaje topliji od 61 stupanj Celzijusa^(Celsius) ili 142 stupnja Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) . To je prilično niska vrijednost koja je također dobra vijest za one koji žele i vole tiha računala.

Nakon pokretanja svih ovih igara i benchmarka, čini se da je ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT izvrsna grafička kartica za one koji žele izgraditi pristupačno gaming računalo koje može pokrenuti bilo koju igru ​​pri 60 sličica u sekundi, koristeći rezoluciju od 1080p. Može podnijeti i 1440p, ali, ovisno o igrici koju igrate, morate smanjiti kvalitetu grafike.^{(After running all these games and benchmarks, it looks like the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT is an excellent graphics card for those who want to build an affordable gaming PC that can run any game at 60 frames per second, using the 1080p resolution. It can handle 1440p too but, depending on the game you play, you have to lower the graphics quality.)}

If you turn the box upside down, you can find more details about the construction and the specifications of the video card.

Inside the package, there's the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, accompanied by a ROG Velcro and a quick start guide. You don't get any software and drivers media - those are all available to download from ASUS' support site.

The unboxing experience you get from the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card is straightforward, and the quality of the packaging is premium.

Design and hardware specifications

The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card has a large protective plate on its back. As is the case for all the Republic of Gamers devices, it features a beautiful design with thin lines and a large ROG logo. The backplate is made of metal, and it serves two purposes: it protects the card from bending and helps with heat dissipation.

Although AMD did not release a reference Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, when we look at the cooling system ASUS chose to mount on this GPU, we get the feeling that it's much more efficient than what AMD would have provided. The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card has two axial fans. In other words, the fans have small hubs but large blades and work by producing pressure differences to create airflow. These fans are not just efficient, but they can also spin at slower speeds than ducted fans, so they're also quieter.

The ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT also supports ASUS' AURA Sync tech, which means that it has RGB LED lights on it that you can customize any way you want. However, there are not many LEDs on it - just one Republic of Gamers logo found on the card's side, between the two fans.

The graphics card comes with Dual BIOS: its firmware lets you run it in OC (OverClock) mode or Silent mode. By default, the card runs in OC mode, but you can use the dedicated switch to enable the Silent mode if you'd rather have less noise and you're OK with slightly higher temperatures.

Regarding the physical dimensions, the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card is fairly large. It occupies two slots and is 11 x 5 x 2.3 inches long x wide x thick. In centimeters, that's 28 x 12.7 x 5.8.

Let's take a look at the card's more technical specs: the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT is built using AMD's RDNA (Navi) architecture, on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process. When set to OC BIOS (overclocking) mode, the game clock is 1737 MHz, and the highest frequency it can achieve in boost mode is 1865 MHz. It also has a large amount of graphics memory: 8 GB of GDDR6 running at 14 Gbps on a 128-bit memory bus. Although it works on PCI Express 3.0 just fine, it also supports PCIe 4.0 thanks to its RDNA architecture. As for the APIs, the card supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6.

Regarding the available display outputs, the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT comes with four display ports and accepts a maximum of 4 displays to be simultaneously connected to it: there are three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0b ports available. The maximum resolution you can get from it is 7680 x 4320 pixels.

To get all the electrical power it requires, the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT needs only one additional 8-pin power connector. Furthermore, because its power demand is not so big, ASUS says that a 450 Watts power supply unit should be enough to use this card in good condition.

The ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT is a graphics card that looks good. What's even more important, its hardware specs show that it should be able to run any game at excellent frame rates in 1080p resolutions. Let's see if that's true:

Performance in games and benchmarks

To check the level of performance offered by ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, we played several games and ran a series of benchmarks. This is the hardware and software that we used for testing this GPU:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 cores, 16 threads, Base Clock 3600 MHz, Max Boost Clock 4600 MHz)
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB (2 x 8 GB, 3600 MHz)
• Storage: ADATA XPG Gammix S50 1 TB SSD (PCIe 4.0 x4)
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (32-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz)
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with November 2019 Update
• GPU Drivers: AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition Version 19.12.3

To get a clearer idea of how fast ASUS' Radeon RX 5500 XT is, we also compared its performance to that of ASRock's Radeon RX 5700 XT. The 5700 XT targets gamers who want to play games in 1440p, while the 5500 XT targets 1080p.

We started by testing the graphics card with World War Z. Using Vulkan API and Ultra graphics quality settings, on the 2560 x 1440 resolution, we obtained a minimum of 59 frames per second (fps), an average fps of 68, and a maximum fps of 98. In 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, the minimum fps was 96, the average 105, and the maximum 144. As you can see, ASUS' Radeon RX 5500 XT can push 60 fps or more, both in 1080p and 1440p, which is excellent.

In Star Control: Origins, which uses DirectX 11, we measured the number of frames per second using the highest graphics settings. When playing at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, we had a minimum fps of 50, an average of 75, and a maximum fps of 97. In 1920 x 1080 resolution, we saw a minimum fps value of 58, an average of 87, and a maximum of 122 fps. Although in 1440p, the minimum fps can drop below 60, in 1080p, the minimum number of frames is close to 60, and the average is well above that value.

In Battlefield V, which is a popular game but also one that's very demanding in terms of hardware resources, we used the DirectX 12 API and the Ultra quality settings. When we ran the game in 1440p, we had a minimum fps of 21, an average of 51, and a maximum of 70. Switching to 1080p, the minimum fps was 58, the average 72, and the maximum 99. Similarly to the results we saw in previous games, here too, the 5500 XT does an excellent job in 1080p.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider has top-notch visuals that many graphics cards struggle to render. For this one, we used DirectX 12, TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing), and the Highest graphics quality. When running in 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, we measured a minimum fps of 35, an average of 43, and a maximum of 63. In 1920 x 1080 resolution, we saw a minimum of 51 fps, an average of 67, and a maximum of 103. These results show that the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card can run this game offering an excellent performance in 1080p, and, if you lower the graphics quality, also in 1440p.

In Tom Clancy's The Division 2, using DirectX 12 and the Ultra graphics quality preset, we obtained an average fps of 39 fps on the 1440p resolution and 58 fps on the 1080p resolution. This is another confirmation that the 5500 XT graphics card is targeted at gamers who play on 1080p monitors, although you can get excellent results in 1440p too, if you lower the graphics quality of the game.

Metro Exodus is extremely demanding in terms of raw graphics power. Using DirectX 12, the Ultra video preset, and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, we only got a minimum of 17 fps, an average of 30 fps, and a maximum of 43 frames per second. In 1080p, we had a minimum of 19, an average of 37, and a maximum of 58. This means that, if you want to play Metro Exodus on a PC equipped with an ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, you should use the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and set the game on low or medium graphics quality.

We also played Fortnite on the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT. We used the game's Epic visuals preset, and DirectX 12. In 1440p, the minimum fps was 41, the average was 62, and the maximum was 84. When we used the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, the game rendered a minimum of 59 fps, an average of 90 fps, and a maximum of 107 fps. The conclusion we can draw is the same as for the other games we tested: the 5500 XT performs very well in 1080p, but, in 1440p, you need to lower the graphics quality if you want a number of frames per second that goes above 60.

In Apex Legends, using the highest graphics quality, the GPU rendered a minimum of 42 fps, an average of 62 fps, and a maximum of 77 fps on the 1440p resolution. In 1920 x 1080 resolution, we had 67 fps minimum, 87 fps on average, and 113 fps maximum. In this game, the graphics card pushes well above 60 frames per second in 1080p and also performs well in 1440p. However, if you're going for 1440p, we would still recommend you lower the graphics quality to medium to make sure that even the lowest fps number is above 60.

Finally, we also ran a few gaming benchmarks from 3DMark and Unigine. In 3DMark's Time Spy, which runs on DirectX 12 and in 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution, we had a score of 5180 points. In Unigine SuperPosition, on the Extreme graphics preset and in 1080p, we got a score of 2717 points with DirectX 11 and 2107 points with OpenGL.

The power consumed by the video card is also important. According to our measurements, the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card draws up to 127 Watts. That means that ASUS' recommendation to use a power supply unit that can deliver at least 450 Watts is valid. It's also a small demand from gamers who want to build an affordable gaming computer.

As for the heat produced by this graphics card, we found that the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT doesn't get hotter than 61 degrees Celsius or 142 degrees Fahrenheit. It's a rather low value that is also good news for those who want and like silent computers.

After running all these games and benchmarks, it looks like the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT is an excellent graphics card for those who want to build an affordable gaming PC that can run any game at 60 frames per second, using the 1080p resolution. It can handle 1440p too but, depending on the game you play, you have to lower the graphics quality.

Bundled software

On top of the drivers released by AMD for the ROG Strix Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, ASUS provides us with an app called GPU Tweak and a few other tools that you can either install from the app or download directly from the support web page.

GPU Tweak is an app that's easy to use but which also offers advanced settings for how fast or how silent your graphics card runs. Besides switches and sliders that allow you to control things such as the GPU clocks, memory, or fans speed, GPU Tweak also lets you monitor vital aspects such as the temperature of the card, its power draw or utilization.

Additionally, you can also download and install GPU-Z, XSplit, AURA, and FurMark. GPU-Z shows you details about the specs of the graphics card; XSplit helps you stream and record the games you play; AURA is ASUS' software that lets you customize and control the RGB lighting effects on the video card; FurMark is a tool specialized for benchmarking the graphics card.

The GPU Tweak app provided by ASUS is both practical and easy to use, and we like it. The few additional tools that you can download and install can also come in handy if you want even more details about your graphics card, need to run a quick benchmark, or decide to stream your gameplay.
