[SOLVED] From RX 570 to RX 5500 XT

[bencike04201]

So my question is that is it worth it in terms of performance to upgrade from an rx 570 to an rx 5500 xt?

this is for the general idea, the gist. your mileage will vary.

but you get the idea

Check out some "vs" videos. It appears there is a bit more improvement over the RX 570 than Userbenchmark indicates. Example
(depending on your screen resolution of course)

I would say no. A 5500 XT is typically a little bit faster than an RX 580, which is in turn only around 15% faster than an RX 570, so probably around 20% faster on average. I would personally want to see at least around 50% more performance to justify an upgrade, which would be around the GTX 1660 SUPER level. Those start around $230, at least in the US.

Maybe the Radeon 5600 or 5600 XT will be decent options as well, but those are not expected to launch until next month, going by current rumors.

Thank you guys for the replys, i wont upgrade to the 5500 XT now

5500xt is not much faster than a 570.
I would consider a GTX1660 super is the cheapest card that is worthwhile upgrade from an RX570.

I got some cash so rn i am looking for an rx 5700 (non xt), so that would be a huge jump from an rx 570 imo

Definately a massive upgrade.

I would definitely consider purchasing a good non-reference model (not 1 fan).

What are the rest of your system specs including make and model of PSU?

 

[bencike04201]

I am considering the msi mech oc variant of the 5700, and my specs are:
Ryzen 5 2600 (i will oc if needed)
16gb kit ddr4
EVGA 650BQ 80+Bronze
512GB NVMe SSD
1TB HDD

The 5700 would be an ideal upgrade to the 570 with that rig. Your gaming should improve noticeably.

 

[bencike04201]

I am a bit worried about the PSU wattage, but i think it will be just okay

 

[NightHawkRMX]

A Bq650w is not very great, but should be fine for a 5700 as long as you dont go too far with overclocking and tuning.

 

[bencike04201]

Yea i wont do any oc on the gpu, and thanks for the replys

Due to its more efficient 7nm manufacturing process, GDDR6 VRAM and other efficiency improvements, a stock RX 5700 actually has similar power draw to an RX 570 under load, though some of the factory-overclocked models will have higher power draw out of the box, more like an RX 580. Still, it's not going to be a huge difference, so I wouldn't expect any trouble. In general, an RX 5700 is likely to draw a couple-hundred watts under load, but the rest of your components combined shouldn't be drawing much more than 150 watts, even with the CPU overclocked, so I would expect the total power draw of all components to be less than 400 watts from the PSU, and probably not much more than 300 watts in a typical gaming scenario. So you won't likely be pushing your PSU to its limits.

Thank you cryoburner!

You may want to wait a few weeks since the RX5600XT cards are coming to the market soon and see what price they will come in at.
