Details
Based on AMD's 4th generation GCN architecture and manufactured in the efficient 14 nm process the Polaris 12 GPU of the Radeon RX 550 has a very low TDP of just 50 Watts. Paired with a FreeSync monitor it is possible to not only save on the graphics card, but also on the monitor as well. Price-conscious gamers will be absolutely satisfied with the price-to-performance ratio of the RX 550.
The Features of the ASUS Radeon RX 550 4G M7

ASUS Radeon RX 550 4G M7 with Single-Fan Cooler Design
The efficient Polaris 12 GPU of the Radeon RX 550 enthält 8 Compute Units contains 8 Compute Units with a total of 512 Shader Units. The GPU of the Radeon RX 550 4G M7 from ASUS is clocked with an average boost clock of 1.071 MHz. The 4 GB GDDR5 VRAM is clocked at 3.500 MHz (7.000 MHz), and is connected to the GPU via a 128-Bit interface for solid performance.
The ASUS single-fan cooler design from ASUS is based on a large, semi-passive single-fan cooler which transfers the heat away from the overclocked Radeon RX 550 4G M7 highly effectively. Power is supplied to the card directly from the PCIe slot, a dedicated power supply is therefore not needed.
14 nm FinFET and GCN 4.0: The AMD Radeon RX 550
Thanks to the efficient 14 nm FinFET manufacturing process and extensive progress made in CPU control, power saving and clock rate technologies, the Radeon RX 550 succeeds in delivering impressive performance with a very low TDP of just 50 Watts. The reason behind this is the development of 14 nm technology which enabled the inclusion of more transistors on a smaller die area, while simultaneously reducing energy requirements.
The 4th-gen Graphics Core Next architecture (GCN 4.0) introduces features such as a command processor, a geometry processor, new multimedia cores, an optimised display engine as well as an improved memory controller. Some of the supported technologies include Async Compute, Vulkan, DirectX 12 AMD's FreeSync technology.
Monitors can be connected to the graphics card via three methods. DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI-D Dual-Link are available. EyeFinity technology enables up to three graphics cards to be connected. The HDMI 2.0b port allows resolutions up to 4K/UHD at 60 Hertz and offers HDCP 2.2 for displaying copy-protected content. DisplayPort 1.4 even makes 8K/UHD at 60 Hertz an option.
In order for the card to reach its maximum potential, new drivers should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals from the AMD or ASUS websites.
