Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 460 vs Radeon RX 550
IntroThe Radeon RX 460 makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 550, which features GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon RX 550 should be a bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 should be quite a bit (more or less 73%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 550. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 550 is a bit (about 1%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 460, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

3 Responses to “Radeon RX 460 vs Radeon RX 550”Hello, can you please tell me which graphics card from amd radeon series rx-460, rx-550 or 560 has the above : resolution at 3840x2160 pixels 60hz, hdr, HDMI v 2.0b HDCP 2.2. I am going to use it on 4k uhdtv hdr mainly for watching movies with mpc-hc
[…] The Radeon RX 550 will be a small bit (about 1%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 460, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain) […]
where is the rx560??
