AMD Radeon 550

2 GB GDDR5 · 64-bit · 512 cores

The Radeon 550 is an entry-level desktop graphics card in AMD's Radeon 500 series, based on the small Polaris 12 (Lexa) chip. It uses a narrow 64-bit GDDR5 memory interface and a 50 W board power that needs no auxiliary power connector, and is aimed at display output, video playback and light gaming rather than the faster Radeon RX 550.
