Sapphire 11295-01-20G Radeon PULSE RX 5500 XT 8GB GDDR6 HDMI / Triple DP OC w/ backplate (UEFI) PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card

These newer performance-class cards have incredibly quiet fans. You simply can't hear them. This brand has done well for me in the past. I'm running much more stable vs. NVidia cards... simply no more blue screens. "It just works" and with more than enough horsepower for the gaming. 'Nuff said!

I bought this graphics card for a small form factor build due to it, well, being smaller than, outputting less heat/noise than and using much less power than the previous card I was gaming on.Some people say you shouldn't buy this but I believe they are wrong. It has use case scenarios, such as sff and energy efficient builds. It will also see driver maturity that will give it performance gains. Games will be made with rdna architecture in mind when next gen consoles launch, so those games will work better on this card than people expect. Also, this card is designed for PCIE 4.0 motherboards and they will be more readily available and cheaper as the year progresses.All of this combines to make what I believe will be a good, energy efficient, strictly 1080p 60 graphics card for the next two, maybe three years. It will have AMD's support for longer than a RX 580 will at this point, too. By then, ray-tracing AMD graphics cards will be an affordable replacement. Just don't expect this card to do 1440p resolution in new games or to do every game at max settings. It isn't a mid-range or high-end card by any means.

I purchased this to replace an RX590 Fatboy for use as an eGPU with a 2018 Mac Mini. The Navi architecture is more stable in Mac OS than Polaris based cards, providing proper booting when connected and the switch ended kernel panic issues I had with the Polaris line.A note for others intending to use this as an eGPU on MacOS, HDMI sound is not working as of 10.15.6; however using the display port option for connecting to a monitor does, according to a peer who uses this setup. While this could possibly be fixed in a firmware update of some kind, I’d suggest either using a DP cable, a DP to HDMI or external speakers with your setup.Otherwise I have been thrilled. It is significantly quieter than the card before it, sips power in comparison and I’ve had little to no issues in gaming performance for 1080p gaming and VR.

Amazing performance with 100+ fps on latest games with high settings. Before you do anything make sure to turn of ZeroRpm in the gpu fan settings and make sure the fan speeds are high as the card can get hot fast on stock settings. Also I would wait a few months for gpu prices to go down before buying as the gpu market is in a terrible state.

Works and looks great. This RX 5500 XT card runs very quiet.

Bought this for my first ever build/sons Christmas present. Works fantastic. The price was $250 when I bought it though, price sure increased quick there! But, Plug and play, all in all no issues. Paired with a ryzen 5 3600 and tomahawk max board.

This graphics card cost me over 5 hours of work, after downloading the latest drivers from Sapphire's web site. First, as everyone else seems to be reporting, Sapphire fails to ship a DVD with drivers with the card. Once one does download the drivers from their website, the installation will cause the screen to go black at the 50% installation stage, then cause Windows to reboot. At this point, my PC refused to reboot. It would always freeze with the Windows 10 logo on the screen. The only way I could boot up was in safe mode. Uninstalling the drivers failed to solve the problem. I therefore had to reclone my 2TB drive C from a master drive that I had. I tried a second time to install the drivers, and sure enough, same thing happened. When I cloned my drive for the third time, I gave up with the piece of junk and used a 6 year old nVidea card, which worked perfectly.I ended up returning the Sapphire piece of junk and won't buy another Sapphire product ever again.The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi MB was not overclocked (AMD R7).

Everything was as expected, except the driver disc was no where to be found. Luckly I know how to download/find them on internet and it runs perfect. To be honest I'm not sure if disk was to be included, but never seen a GPU not at least have something to get things going with some optimization.
