Sapphire Radeon X550 Review

September 9th 2005 | Graphics Cards

This X550 from Sapphire has 256MB of memory, with 128-bit memory bandwidth. It runs with a 400MHz core and 250MHz (500MHz effective) memory. It is fairly obvious, that the X550 is little more than a speed bump of the X300, bringing it closer to the speed and specifications of the X600.

..This card is an obvious improvement over the original X300, but nothing spectacular. For the occasional (like once in a blue moon) game player, it just about suffices. In reality, it suits anyone who needs a stop gap measure while waiting to save up for a next generation card, or someone who needs a basic graphics card with dual monitor and TV output support.
