★★★★★Great for budget builds gaming PC and beginners!
The AISURIX RX 5500 8GB is a great, affordable choice and is perfect for beginners who want to play modern games at 1080p without spending a fortune. Most cheap cards only give you 4GB of memory, but this one gives you 8GB, which means games look better and run smoother. It’s very easy to set up, stays quiet because the fans only spin when needed, and keeps cool during long sessions. This is a reliable, straightforward upgrade for anyone new to PC building, as long as your power supply has the right 8-pin plug to hook it up.

★★★★★Great Price for 8GB of VRAM; Random Knockoff Brand is Fine
Bought this for my work computer (3600X; 32GB 3200 RAM; A520M chipset) so I could game reasonably on break. Bought it after the RE4 remake came out. The 4GB VRAM of the old 580 was barely cutting it at minimum settings, but couldn't justify an expensive card for limited use. Debated a 6500 XT, and a 580 8GB model. Definitely made the right choice. It actually plays a smooth 60 FPS at medium-high (of course non-RT) settings. The fan curve is kinda all-or-nothing in regards to speed/volume, but whatever. It defaults to completely off, but the lowest it goes when rotating is about 50% speed (yes even with Afterburner). But with the fans off, unlike some, it does fine at idle (like 32-36C). Carries it's 1/3 of the support for REBAR for whatever that's worth, but I don't need to waste your time regurgitating easy to find specs. This 8GB 5500XT does what you would expect an 8GB 5500 XT to do. The off brand AISURIX (make up your own pronunciation), or whatever this knock off brand is, does fine. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the construction, packaging, etc. Clearly new (not a given from Amazon these days), clean, and solid construction. Plastic backplate is a negative, but so many companies seem to be selling cards with insulating plastic backplates these days; I guess enough people are voting with their wallets for cosmetics over temps. Normally I just remove it if it's not aluminum or some other temp-conductive material, but didn't bother since this doesn't get that hot. Temps have been fine; even at full load, it hasn't sustained above 60C (in a good airflow case).

★★★★★Great graphics card.
Honestly for the price it does everything that I need to. I like to play world of Warcraft and it does really well with that. No lagging, he also played quite a few indie horror games so far with it in extreme settings and absolutely is amazing. Definitely worth the money would highly recommend.

★★★★★Great! But..
The picture attached is how it came out of the box (which the Amazon box looked quite tattered anyways...) The way it was bent was confusing, and complicated to fix on my own... I'm not an expert, so when it wasn't bent enough, and caused my PC not to boot, it had me worried. (Ordered this for my birthday as a first time upgrade for my PC, so I was really excited.) After getting it bent enough into shape, (and a little force cause it wanted to eject my ram from being slightly in the way) I was able to get it in. It took like 15-20 minutes for it to download the needed software, but after? I hop on BeamNG.Drive, and crank everything on Ultra, and safe to say it done very well, not fully 60fps, but close enough for my 165hz monitor to make it feel like it. Despite the stress of the metal bending, I am very happy with it's performance, and it was very well worth the money, even if I had to get a new PSU for it. I haven't heard how loud it can get yet, but as a first upgrade for my outdated PC, I can't complain and I'm very happy.
Been a few days later and I tried to hook up some more monitors. Out of the 3 display ports available, I've only gotten one to work... Two displays is all I need, but it was quite tedious to figure it out. I'd return it, but it does too well to stress over the smaller details. (Especially when I got it to work just fine the way I wanted it.)

★★★★★Defective card. Wouldnt play any game or video for longer then a few minutes.
Purchased this card with the rest of the components needed to build my other have a new low budget gaming computer. She plays odd games that use things like openGL 2.0. After I was done building it, got it all set up and tried out her 2 favorite games. One was playable for awhile but the other crashed to desktop each time. Youtube also would crash and restart the computer. I fiddled with a few drivers. Getting everything updated. Thinking maybe it was the wi-fi on the board, but didnt resolve the issue. As I hate dealing with software issues, I let it sit for a couple of weeks. Then had surgery on my back which didnt go as it should of. Needless to say by the time I was able to actually sit down and start working on the build again, it was well past the return date AND any product support date. Well come to find out, it wasnt drivers or wi-fi, it was this card. If you dont buy the extended warranty, Id stay well away from this card and this seller.
