AMD really has a well-segmented graphics card offering. Their 1440p card is the RX 5700 XT, their 1080P card is the RX 5600 XT, and their esports card is the RX 5500 XT. This segmenting makes it really easy for gamers to pick the card the suits their needs. Today we are taking a look at one of the better RX 5500 XT’s out there, the MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming X. This card features a factory overclock, MSI’s Twin Frozr thermal design, a sleek new design, and even some RGB lighting. If you are looking for an RX 5500 XT this card should definitely be at the top of your list.
