After a much-delayed and anticipated release, AMD’s RX 5500 XT is a compelling product and gives users more than one good choice in the sub-$200 category for 1080p gaming. The RX 5500 XT is a good replacement card for the aged Polaris architecture and RX 4xx/5xx series of cards. Navi’s 7nm process and other architectural improvements bring it in line with its Nvidia-based competition. As we saw in the performance graphs, there’s still a large gap between the RX 5500 XT and the RX 5700. With plenty of space in both performance and price to slide in another SKU, we could see an RX 5600 to compete with the GTX 1660 Super and GTX 1660 Ti.

When we look at pricing, Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Super can be found for as low as $160 dollars on Newegg while the faster GTX 1660 is $199-plus. If gaming at 1080p running medium settings, the 4GB 5500 XT is a competitor at the lower price point. The true view of value here is going to come down to card partner pricing and how third-party RX 5500 XT designs. However, if running Ultra settings is your goal, the GTX 1660 is the same price as the 8GB variant and is stiff competition. A sale could sway the decision either way, all other things equal.

Recently, we published an article speculating on the imminent launch of the Radeon RX 5500 XT as well as the RX 5600 XT arriving in January. With respect to the RX 5600 XT, new information has come to light through filings from the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) listing 6GB and 8GB versions of the new GPU from ASRock and Asus.

In this filing, ASRock lists six models: Three RX 5600's and three RX 5600 XTs that hail from the Challenger and Phantom Gaming lines. Curiously, all ASRock cards listed sport 6GB of VRAM, even the XT models. Meanwhile, the Asus entries listed are from the Dual Evo and ROG Strix lines, and they are 8GB models across both 5600 series SKUs. Asus likely has other SKUs on the horizon for the 6GB versions (perhaps ASRock has 8GB versions planned?), or it could have been an error.
