And welcome to another video Now the MD r X 5500 x t.

This is a car that launched a few months ago and at the time I probably made a few comments here in there about how I felt that the 16 50 super was a better by and this was even before I had tested the card.

Now I had always intended to review it.

It's just that the model that I wanted to take a look at wasn't available, at least not here in the UK today.

However, well, I was able to find the model I was after all along.

And that is the power color version right here.

This is the cheapest on dhe, possibly even the smallest 5500 extra.

You come by right now.

Today I want to take a look at it to see just what it can do now.

In this video, I'll also be comparing the 5500 x t results to that off the 16 50 Super the tree pissed 16 50 Super, in fact.

So we're taking a look at how the cheapest 5500 X t and the cheapest 16 50 super do in comparison to each other.

It's not just about the gameplay figures.

It's also about what sort of features these cards have.

And I actually want to start with that because the 5500 x t this model anyway has something that my cheapest 16 50 super doesn't on DDE.

What is that feature?

Are he you ask?

Well, it may seem trivial to some, but it's the fan.

This power color 5500 x t s fan completely stops at low load and even under load.

It is far quieter than my 16 50 super, which does not have this feature for anyone like me who likes their PC to be as quiet as possible.

The 5500 x t would be the winner if we were judging them both on noise alone.

As a reminder.

This is the 16 50 s in question.

It's the palate version of the card.

Both this on the 5500 x t have four gigs of Judy are six, and here are the side by side specs.

So then, if it's a quiet computing experience you're after, then this 5500 X t would be the way to go.

In terms of power requirements, the A M D card needs 18 pin connector on the 16 50 Super Just a solitary six pin.

Both should work fine on a decent 350.

What ps you minimum though the 16 50 Super only has a 100 What TDP compared to the 130 What?

5500 x t Now though we must move on to the fun part gaming Both GP use have bean paired with my rise and 5 1600 test system.

The new version which is essentially a 26 100 with a different name 16 gigs of 3200 megahertz DDR four on all the games have been installed on my one terabyte s S D So both cards are very capable at 10.

80 p resolution and to kick off the bench marks, I ran the in game far cry five test.

All the footage was recorded with the 5560 in the system, and performance in game may differ from the set benchmark result.

So at high with t a on and motion blur off far cry fires exceeded 80 frames per second and maintained a very respectable 1% low figure.

The card has previously mentioned also stayed very quiet, with the fan noise not exceeding that of the's stock rise in five Fan.

This was not only impressive but surprising.

Usually, single fan entry level cards are more audible than this.

So far, it's clear that this is going to be a close one throughout.

But what I will say is that either choice is a good one.

Thoughts the horizon for was even closer.

In fact, on average, there was no more than a single frame in it.

The frame rate will of course, depend on what process, sir you use.

I feel that the rise and 5 1600 is still a perfect companion to a card like this, not just for the 5500 x t, but for the 16 50 Super as well.

So far, I am really liking this power color card.

I'm glad I waited for this model to pop up before reviewing another.

This game was tested on the high settings once again, and you may notice that the V Room figure is creeping right up to four gigs throughout.

There are, of course, eight.

Gig 5500 ext is on the market, and you should consider the prices of those before buying a four gig one.

But I don't believe you confined an eight gig model of this specific power color card, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Next up, I know GT A four right Well is an older game, but it can still give.

Modern systems are hard time because it still seems popular as well.

I thought it was worth a test.

And while the 5500 X t performs quite well, there are a few Stater's and there that may be quite off putting thes primarily occurred during the first mission.

These were less apparent on the 16 50 super.

Either way, 10.

80 p and 60 frames per second will be no problem for either of these cards.

What's more than 5500 X.

T s fan barely span up here, too.

I'd recommend locking the frame rate to 60 for the best experience with duty a four now read it.

Redemption proved quite interesting.

Test wise.

I ran the in game benchmark three times with each card using the first favor quality preset.

I touched no other setting except the option to turn off the sink.

And once the benchmarks were complete, I was surprised to see a difference of 10 frames per second, on average between the two.

However, this difference will be more subtle during actual game players.

Different areas of the map can have a huge impact on the performance.

It was playable on both cards, though the experience on the 5500 X t did feel smoother.

Turning a few options down would probably guarantee you six DF ps.

Maybe not a constant 60 but 60 most of the time.

Pushing everything way up will of course, exceed the V RAM limit of both cards, though, but even so, the 5560 probably isn't a GPU intended for ultra settings.

Anyway, this is red dead, too.

After all, now I say this every time.

But the Outer Worlds favors in video cards.

The 5500 X T still did well and at high we were able to meet and exceed a nice 60 FBS average.

I did notice a few framed it's though, but I guess some of these could be contributed to the area loading.

This was present with the 16 50 Super as well, though in both instances the game did smooth out a little bit down the line, say, after five minutes of play.

I have to say, though, that the 16 50 super probably offered a smoother overall experience, which isn't surprising in anyway, considering its preference to in videos GP use so far.

I have to say that I am leaning toward the 5500 x T, though if someone said to me Choose between this or the 16 50 s thes exact models, I'd probably pick Team Red this time around.

Finally, then it's the absolute classic that is the witch or three.

The 5500 x t exceeded 90 frames per second here on this was combined with an excellent 1% low.

This can still give modern hardware a good run for its money with all the settings turned way up.

But I stuck with the high preset and used the medium post processing option.

Why don't I put everything on ultra?

You ask well, personally for the small difference it may make in some games.

I don't think the drop in performance is worth it.

Some titles will run very similar at both high and ultra settings, but in others the performance impacts can be significant, with very little visual difference.

I've always stuck with High for some reason, even with the 5700.

Extend my system, to be honest, but there we have it.

The power color 5500 X t is the cheapest and smallest version of the car you can buy, at least from what I found and considering it costs the same as the palate 16 50 super, it's certainly worth considering.

Prices may differ where you live, thus affecting your purchase decision and the eight gigabyte 5500 x t might not be that much more, either.

In which case, you might want to consider that if we strictly comparing these two though and I had to pick one, I'd still stick with the 5500 x t.

Does that count as being impartial?

I'm not sure, but after testing both and using them for a little while on Dhe, listening to both in action, this entry level a M D card has won me over.

And honestly, I saw myself choosing the 16 50 s first divorce.

So then, to conclude, if you're looking for a fairly small and fairly cheap 5500 x t, then I would happily recommend this one.

Now I'm going to use it for a little while longer in my system.

And should anything go wrong, I'll be sure to give you my updated thoughts.

I'd also like to mention am these drivers to I've made a video about them before, but they seem to be mostly fixed.

I had a few issues a while ago.

I got one or two black screen errors, but I found that switching on GPU scaling seemed to resolve these when changing between resolutions on DDE.

After that, everything ran perfectly.

Furthermore, if you want to get into content creation, for example, you want to record your game, play to edit or, you know, maybe do a little bit of voiceover on Then you may also want to consider the differences between invidious G force experience on Dhe Am D's software.

Can't remember.

It's called.

Is it relief software?

It's just a family radio on software now that both of those are capable of recording gameplay internally with very little, um, hits on the performance.

I found that in video tends to be a little bit smoother when recording at a high bit rate, but both of them are absolutely fantastic pieces off bundled software as well.

So if you are into content creation or you want to get into recording your game, play videos and you don't really want to spend the extra.

You don't have the extra to spend on a capture card.

I recommend looking into both G force experience and aim.

These software, as well as faras the cards and the gaming, is concerned.

I picked the 5500 x t, but I still absolutely love the 16 50 Super.

Both of these are fantastic entry level options.

Even in 2022 4 Gigs of Ram may worry Sam, but for 10 80 p gaming right now, I think they are still both capable.

Of course, As I mentioned, though, if you can find an eight gig for 5500 extra, maybe check out the price of that.

I hope you've enjoyed this video.

If you did leave alike when it down below, leave a dislike.
