Sapphire RX 5500 XT Pulse 4GB Review

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game developed by Eidos Montréal in conjunction with Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. It continues the narrative from the 2013 game Tomb Raider and its sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider, and is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series. The game released worldwide on 14 September 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Highest preset, with AA disabled, DX12 API.

It's no surprise to see 1650 SUPER scoring its biggest performance lead over the RX 5500 XT in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, with 10FPS gap at 1080p. Here, the 4GB 5500 XT is 7% behind the 8GB ASRock model tested, again showing a memory bottleneck – this is also the biggest gap between the two cards that we observed.
