rx550 rx550 comparison benchmark

[thunderbuzzard]

so in my endless quest to find whats wrong with my PC, I have went ahead and grabbed an RX550 4gb to test with since my friend is out of town so I couldn't borrow his pc or GPU for testing.

what I usually use for my own comparison and testing is heaven benchmark 4 and so I want to share here the score of the RX550 compared to other cards I have owned on the same setup . one thing that caught my attention lately is how many people on youtube are posting videos comparing the RX550 with the gtx 1050 which is within (10% range of the performance of GTX670).

I happen to have owned a gtx670 so it should serve as an adequate gauge of how the rx550 compares to the gtx 1050. in the attachment you will see how the rx550 is about half the performance of the gtx670 and surprisingly online I have seen heaven benchmark scores of the 1050 in the 800s as well. so I have no idea where people came with the idea of the rx550 is similar in performance to the gtx 1050. it's more within the range of the gt750 or gt750ti, as you can see in the score the gt740 is not very far behind and how the 1070 is basically unmatched to the rest of the tested peasants.

I must also add that the rx550 4gb (sapphire pulse) felt very low in latency compared to the 1070 and the 740, just from using the pc I realized how snappy and responsive my mouse and keyboard have became, that was probably one of the reason why it's promoted for lan parties, it also felt very light when I installed it so it would perfectly fit a portable case. 

here are the benchmark pics along with some pics of how the cards look like. the reason I kept the gt740 and returned the rx550 is cuz I saved 40$ and cuda cores could come handy in my video production that and the gt740 support 4 display outputs while rx550 only 3, still it's a pretty nice card but since I won't be gaming on neither felt pointless to keep it.
