PCBench Rating in 2025
Based on comprehensive benchmarks and real-world performance data analyzed by our custom AI algorithm.
AI Summary
The AMD Radeon 550X delivers very low performance with a 3DMark score of just 1452, placing it far below modern entry-level standards. Despite having 2GB of GDDR5 memory, its overall capabilities are severely limited for gaming in 2025. It’s not suitable for modern titles and is outperformed even by older, budget NVIDIA cards like the GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
Pros
- 2GB GDDR5 memory provides slightly better bandwidth than DDR3 variants in very low-end cards
- Passes basic GPU compute benchmarks, indicating minimal functionality for light tasks
- Lower-tier AMD card that may fit into compact systems or be used for basic display output
Cons
- Extremely low performance with a 3DMark score of only 1452, worse than 2014-era GPUs like the GeForce GTX 750 Ti
- Passmark score of 1402 is among the lowest in modern GPU listings
- Not suitable for modern gaming, even at 720p low settings, and lacks driver support for newer APIs in 2025
