5500xt 8gb vs 580 8gb

[Alan GE]

Hello.

I cant really decide which one should i get ... 

 

ASUS RADEON DUAL RX 5500 XT GAMING EVO OC 8GB 

 

Or 

 

ASUS Dual series Radeon RX 580 OC edition 8GB GDDR5

 

The difference is about 10$ bweteen the 5500xt and the 580

What is the difference in performance?

I was wondering about this myself, but in regards to my GTX 760 I had to install due to GTX 970 is unable to play games without rebooting or logging out.

5500xt uses GDDR6, has a higher clock speed, and is a generation jump. Spend the xtra $10.

this site is great for comparing GPUs:

UserBenchmark: AMD RX 5500-XT vs 580

 

basically there is not much difference although you can pick up a RX 580 second hand very cheaply has people are selling their mining rigs. whereas the 5500XT is not old enough to have a large presence on the second hand market.

It's actually terrible.

User benchmark is actually really not reliable.  If you want to see the real difference watch some benchmark video from steve, jay, hardware unboxed and some more and then make up your idea of the difference between the cards.  It will also depend on the game you play most of the time.  Also avoid the 4gb rx5500 xt ...

 

Personally I would go for the rx5500xt 8gb and I have a preference for sapphire and power color brand, but that's just me.
