A few days ago the AMD RX 5500 graphics card, a 1080p gaming graphics card, was introduced. This new graphics card based on silicon Navi 14 is intended to replace the RX 5080 based on Polaris 20. The new AMD solution still has no official price but aims to be highly affordable. Now we have known that XFX will launch the RX 5500 THICC II graphics card.

The XFX heatsink reminds of the grilles of US vehicles in the 60s and 70s. But this graphics card has a major cooling problem according to GamerNexus. This design seems to have been slightly modified and improved. The backside between the backplate and the frontplate has been modified and improved.

The graphics card has been filtered by Videocardz, who has obtained the stock images of it. The design is similar to that of the RX 5700 model, with a small modification. We see how this graphics card has an 8-pin PCIe connector.

We see how this graphics card will carry two fans on this heatsink. The trim, as well as the fans, are black. Copper heatpipes are visible and the XFX logo on the center of the fans has a coppery touch. The backplate has a design that complements the front and, of course, is also black.

AMD has endowed this silicon with 1 408 Stream Processors and a Boost frequency of 1 845MHz. We do not know if this graphics card will have overclocking, something possible since the AMD reference model only has a large central fan.

We assume that in the next days or weeks we will see the full specifications as well as its price.
