The AMD Radeon RX 550 is a low power, budget GPU that runs off the PCIe power and has a very low TDP of only 65W. This means it does not generate much heat and it does not take much to keep cool. This allows AMD’s partners such as XFX to release custom Radeon RX 550 video cards that are smaller. Moreover, they are made to fit in compact systems such as pre-built desktops as an upgrade option. XFX has released three variants for the RX 550, one is a single-slot full-profile design, another is a dual-slot low-profile design, and one is a dual-slot, full-profile Core Edition model. Each will be available in either 4GB or 2GB memory configuration.
The XFX Radeon RX 550 Core Edition OC 2GB and 4GB Graphics Card measures 121 x 40 x 170 mm and comes with a 1203MHz core clock and 7000MHz effective memory clock. It has a single 80mm fan in the middle and has a single DVI-D port, single DisplayPort and single HDMI 2.0 port in the rear. It is currently available for pre-order on Scan.co.uk for £96.49 for the 4GB version (code: RX-550P4SFG5) while the 2GB (code: RX-550P2SFG5) version is priced £79.99.
