First AMD RX5500XT 8GB review

[Bumiputera]

According to MSI, the RX 5500 XT Gaming X will retail "at € 219 without tax", which we converted to USD 240.


Pros:

Uses Navi RDNA architecture
Extremely quiet in gaming
8 GB VRAM
Idle fan stop
Faster memory chips
Low temperatures
Backplate included
Much better energy efficiency than Polaris or Vega
Excellent board design, especially VRM is very well-engineered
Adjustable RGB lighting
PCI-Express 4.0
7 nanometer production process
AMD Game bundle

Cons:
Very high pricing
Memory overclocking limited by slider range
Some driver bugs when it comes to monitoring
High multi-monitor power draw
No hardware-accelerated raytracing

I only took in MECH XT.

The pricing for Gaming X is mind boggling...
