AMD Radeon RX 550 – Entry-Level Gaming & Multimedia Graphics Card

The AMD Radeon RX 550 is a compact, power-efficient graphics card designed for entry-level gaming, multimedia, and everyday computing. Based on AMD’s Polaris architecture, the RX 550 offers a great balance of performance and efficiency, making it an ideal upgrade for older systems or budget PC builds.

Equipped with 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 memory, the RX 550 supports modern APIs like DirectX 12 and Vulkan, delivering smooth 1080p gameplay in popular eSports and indie titles. It also offers excellent support for video playback, including 4K video decoding and HEVC/H.265 hardware acceleration, making it a solid choice for home theater PCs (HTPCs).

Its low-profile and single-slot design makes it compatible with a wide range of small form factor (SFF) systems, while maintaining low power consumption — often running without the need for an external power connector.
