The Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming OC 8G in detail:
The navigation graphics chip of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming OC 8G clocks in reference design with a maximum boost clock of 1,845 MHz, while the base clock is 1,685 MHz. The so-called game clock of 1,737 MHz indicates the nominal average clock under load that is present during gaming. The 8 GB GDDR6 video memory clocks at 7,000 MHz (effectively 14,000 MHz) and is connected to the Navi chip via a 128-bit memory interface. To ensure that the graphics chip clocks as high as possible, a cooler design with a total of 28.1 cm and three fans is used, which occupies two slot covers in the housing. An 8-pin PCIe power connector is required to power the Radeon RX 5500 XT gaming graphics card and AMD recommends a 450 watt power supply.
