AMD Radeon RX 570X (Laptop) vs AMD Radeon RX 550X (Laptop)

AMD Radeon RX 570X (Laptop)

► remove from comparison

The AMD Radeon RX 570X for laptops (RX 570XM) is a mid-range Polaris 20 based gaming graphics card for laptops. It is a rebrand of the Radeon RX 570 and should offer similar performance levels. AMD was selling the card with 8 GB GDDR5 (256 Bit) to laptop OEMs for around 100 dollar. The TDP is configurable between 65 and 110 Watt with different performance levels.

More information on the Polaris architecture and its features can be found here.

AMD Radeon RX 550X (Laptop)

► remove from comparison AMD Radeon RX 550X (Laptop)

The AMD Radeon RX 550X is mobile mid-range graphics card for laptops based on the Polaris architecture. It features 640 shaders (10 CUs) or 512 shaders (8 CUs) with different clock speeds. The clock rate in the Lenovo Thinkpad E590 is 1176 MHz although AMD states up to 1287 MHz in the specifications (including the desktop version).

The performance should be similar to a Nvidia Geforce MX250 and therefore suited only for entry level gaming (e.g. less demanding games like Dota 2 or World of Tanks).

According to our information, the RX 550X is currently sold with 4 GB GDDR5 memory for around 30 - 40 dollars to laptop manufacturers.
