Notes

The Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB offers 4GB GDDR6 memory on RDNA architecture, providing budget 1080p gaming with reduced VRAM versus the 8GB variant. This GPU delivered entry-level 1080p performance at competitive pricing. Built for budget 1080p gaming at medium settings. Despite being several generations old with limited VRAM restricting modern games, it remains functional for esports and older titles. Often available at very low pricing on secondary market, suitable only for extremely budget builds or esports-focused systems where VRAM requirements remain modest.
