Building a PC with the RX 5500 XT

RX 5500 XTheader

NVIDIA在2019年获得了球滚动,因为在中端及其周围有太多的图形卡选项,现在AMD正在与RX 5500 XT一起玩得开心。让我们从AMD看一下这个GPU!

AMDMust’ve Had a CPU-based New Year’s Resolution Last Year—This Year, GPUs?

To say 2019 was a good year for AMD’s CPU division would be an understatement. Their 3rd-generation Ryzen chips have been selling like crazy, and the added bonus of price drops on previous generations has resulted in them dominating across the board.

关于他们的Radeon团队的CHAPS不能说同样的话。尽管他们在不同的价位上拥有一些良好且具有竞争力的GPU,但他们并没有做太多让世界着火的事情(除了他们通常对基准表现的交易热绩效的嘲笑)。

在这张镜头中,几乎和现代AMD GPU一样多的GT 710…

Outside of all those people buying up the GT 710 (for, we’re assuming, cheap alternatives for additional monitor ports and/or integrated graphics chips have died), you can see that the only real AMD options on there are the RX 580 and RX 570. There’s a RX 5700 in 14th and a RX 5700 XT in 18th, but that newer GPU generation from AMD hasn’t really done much to excite the average builder.

因此,这是一个受欢迎的意外泄漏started dropping for the RX 5500 XT. Yet is it any good? Let’s take a look at the specifications:

AMDRadeon RX 5500 XT

RX 5500 XT

基础时钟:1.685 GHz

游戏时钟:1.717 GHz

Boost时钟:1.845 GHz

记忆:4GB GDDR6

Bandwidth:224 GB/S

TDP:130W

What we’re seeing here (we suspect) are binned RX 5500 GPUs. They share a lot of specifications, and these are only really coming with a slightly higher stock speed out-of-the-box. What’s interesting, though, is AMD haven’t completely unlocked the core here; there’s an even beefier version of this running on Apple machines. Ah, the joys of behind-the-scenes deals to system makers.

This makes sense to a point, as the standard RX 5500 seems to be sticking with mostly OEM.

RX 5500 XT的添加很可能只是在降低了他们目前在下端的市场份额。

这是什么不是只是一个超频的RX5500。尽管时钟arehigher, that isn’t really the whole story—as, if the chip couldn’t handle it, there’d be no point. This is why most are marking this as a binned unit for a small premium, and then it guarantees you the clock improvements.

Buy or Wait?

我个人不太介意这个GPU太多。它的价格并不是太昂贵了,它的性能与RX 580相比提供了适度的增长。这可能已经放在那里,可以为所有GTX 1650/1660超级型号提供替代品,遍布市场。看起来许多RX 570/580型号的价格也下降了,因此这看起来更像是对范围的重新定位,而不是其他任何东西。

What’s curious about this is it appears that AMD are specifically pushing their existing stack down, which implies that the rumored new SKUs (at least at launch) with rDNA 2.0 are going into the mid-tier, so they don’t want to rip into their own range.

然而,这是一篇文章的理论作品!我们在下面的构建中想要的是一个非常扎实的1080p游戏设置,其功能约为1440p。因此,如果您现在需要这种系统,那么这个GPU还是很不错的价格。因此,让我们来到其他部分!

构建

中央处理器:AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

8-cores and 16-threads for $190… what’s not to like? Now, in terms of single-core performance, depending on what games you play, you might want to switch this for anAMD Ryzen 5 3600反而。这是一个6核/12个线程CPU,但通过改进的IPC可以更高时钟。两者都是以相同价格的优势选择,因此确实取决于您。由于更多是全能的CPU,我们在此构建中使用了2700X,但要么对游戏来说还不错。

这两个都可以超频,加上提供的冷却器可以处理那些适度的超频选项。如果您想将CPU推向其极限,仅考虑在新的冷却器上花费更多。

内存:CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000 MHz

第二代Ryzen的一组快速的RAM。超频的时间安排为15-17-17-35,Cas延迟为15。Ryzen喜欢紧密的时间,因此,对于这里的双套件,这对价格来说非常好。至少,只要您可以应付鲜红色的散热器,那是海盗售价更便宜的唯一颜色!

Motherboard:GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M

This is a solid B450 option from Gigabyte. It has far better power management compared to a more entry-level board, and gives us much better gaming stability overall. Really can’t go wrong! Additionally, you have a lot of connectivity options for your devices, which is another added bonus of this not being an entry-level board.

HDD存储:海门梭子鱼2TB

Simple, efficient, large storage. This particular version of the ‘BarraCuda’ drive is one of Seagate’s compute drives. So as a bonus, you get a larger 256MB Cache to work with. Thus, although this is still limited by its HDD read/write speeds, you get a touch more flexibility when accessing common files from it.

SSD存储:ADATA XPG SX6000 PRO 512GB

令人惊讶的是,NVME存储的价格下降了多少。这里最大的优势是,这足够大,可以将其用于操作系统和几场游戏。您的读数速度为2100 MB/s,而写入速度为1500 MB/s的触摸速度较慢。对于只有60美元的驱动器来说还不错。

PSU:Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80+黄金

The one last bastion of avoiding RGB-ready components: the power supply. Now even that is no longer safe! I actually don’t mind this too much, for those who want it, as it’s a genuinely great, gold-rated, modular PSU. It just so happens that it is also completely RGB addressable. Oh, and for those who just want reliability, Thermaltake give a 10-year warranty with this model.

Case:分形设计定义迷你C TG

There’s a reason why this case gets damn near perfect ratings wherever you go looking for them. In terms of the side panel, this is the tempered glass version. And you get a PSU shroud. That last part hints at the superb cable management options you get on the back of the board, which allows you to build a very clean-looking system. Add into this excellent airflow, sound dampening panel design, understated front I/O design… it’s all just really nice. Making the building experience easier and giving you a great end result, a bit of a no-brainer really!

RX 5500 XT构建成本:〜$ 800

您的钱在这里获得了一个非常扎实的1080p游戏系统。尽管不是为此设计的100%,但如果您正在考虑启动流媒体或制作自己的视频,那么这足以使您无法完全破坏银行。这里的好处是,即使您确实想升级其中的部分,许多零件的起点非常好,如果您觉得有更多的性能是有必要的,那么您也无需进行完整的重建。

Generally speaking, based on the rumours, I doubt the RX 5500 XT is going to go anywhere. The rDNA 1.0 cards are still too new by anyone’s standards to just outright replace in 2020. What we suspect will happen is the more entry-level cards will be phased out, with this card and above sitting alone until later in the year at least.

So if you need a 1080p gaming machine now, you can rest easy in knowing that you’re getting a solid system for your use. So go build and enjoy!

出去建造!

Now before you go all bonkers spending every saved up penny you have on these components for your 1080p gaming rig, there are extras that you might need to finish off this RX 5500 XT build:

  1. A copy of Windows. If you are a student or work for a big business, you might be able to get a copy for free or at a significantly lower cost. If not, we recommend Windows 10 on光盘(90美元)或者USB($ 120).
  2. 光学驱动器 - 临界,如果您想通过光盘安装Windows 10。好东西是DVD-RW驱动器如今便宜(here’s one for $21).

我们也有一般建议:

结论

Well there you have it, a great all-round 1080p gaming and productivity machine built around the RX 5500 XT!

你怎么认为?我们的构建会做您想做的事情,还是缺少它?您会以不同的方式选择某些零件,还是根本不使用RX 5500 XT构建?您是要等待RDNA 2.0的东西,还是对使游戏启动并尽快进行运行感到满意?
