Gaming at over 60 FPS is certainly possible, though. In games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Borderlands 3, upping the graphics to high still retained a playable average frame rate, but at a significant drop in the overall figures. Borderlands 3 - Medium settings - 80 FPS average.Far Cry 5 - High settings (no HD textures) - 84 FPS average (Low 76 FPS).F1 2019 - Ultra high settings - 122 FPS average (Low 84 FPS).Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Medium settings - 77 FPS average (Low 61 FPS).Here are a few examples of performance you can expect from a 4GB RX 5500 XT paired with AMD's mid-range, Ry6-core CPU and 16GB of RAM There are outliers, like the exceptionally well optimized F1 2019, but generally speaking, if you're shooting for a balance of graphics quality and good frame rates, medium is where it's at. In our experience testing the RX 5500 XT in a range of games, we've found that it's particularly strong at medium graphics settings across a variety of different games.
The good news is that if you're here because you're seriously thinking about getting one, you probably won't be disappointed. The RX 5500 XT is 100% a 1080p gaming GPU.
