Product overview
ASUS’s Phoenix Radeon RX 550 4GB is an AIB card built on AMD’s Radeon RX 500 series (Polaris/GCN 4); the RX 550 itself launched on April 20, 2017. This PH‑RX550‑4G‑EVO variant keeps ASUS’s compact single‑fan Phoenix design.
It targets the entry tier: a simple upgrade from integrated or aging GPUs. Expect light 1080p gaming and esports titles, multi‑monitor desktop use, and general media playback. The card is bus‑powered (around 60 W) with a 350 W PSU recommendation, measures 192 mm and occupies two slots, and provides DVI‑D, HDMI 2.0b, and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs over a PCIe 3.0 interface; there’s no hardware ray tracing. Notable: ASUS’s IP5X‑rated, dual ball‑bearing fan for dust resistance and longevity.
