Today we’re looking at a low cost AliExpress graphics card from a brand I’ve never heard of. Is it any good?

Thanks for watching 🙂
i think it best leave the overclock as long as you can, otherwise for office or light task then leave it to default
I think you should review a RX6600m from AliExpress. This card is a best you can buy for 200$, if you can accept a risk and fact, that is a oddly Frankenstein built somewhere in China. Was a great upgrade for my i3-10105F setup.
It's a RX 550. Not worth for years already
The cooler screams fake, i just stay away from any graphics cards that have that type of cooling.
the waffle House has found its new host
not surprised, even in 2017 this card was regarded as a useless piece of cr*p detached iGPU.
This funky brands won't last before something goes wrong the quality of PCB and electronics is not good in the end you get what you pay for so rather spend a bit more and get a branded card.
PCI-E x8 only ??
The RX 550 4GB was my first video card after years of console gaming. I was suprised by how many games it would run and would take it over a GTX 750 ti any day of the week due to its full DX 12 support and 4gb vram. It's suprising how well the RX 550 4GB had held its value even now after the crypto boom has ended with prices in the £70-95 range on eBay. I sold it and got an RX 6600 but I kind of miss the card now.
Okay, we seriously need to talk about the way this guy (Steve?) reviews graphics cards:
1) First of all, NEVER say that the card "gains X number of frames per second" after an overclock. We don't care about that. We need to know what the percentage increase is! Percentages are everything in measuring graphics cards.
2) Second, PLEASE do not say the game is running at 1080p when FSR is turned on. We all know that FSR is a good way to upscale, but everybody knows that it is not, in fact, running at 1080p. In the case of FSR Performance mode, it's at 540p and should be labeled as such.
your video is so buggy reupload it
AliExpress HuaPu Store have RX 580 8gb with the full core count for £69 plus £3ish shipping, I am quite tempted to go up ten points on my 570 for that price, looks very generic but its what it can do not what it looks like I think 🙂
kind of curious if there is some power unlocker software that people use to overclock laptops and stuff available to put more juice into it
Oc'ing memory by just increasing the clockspeed is not the way how to to do it. The memory has error correction, meaning that if you overclock it to much you lose performance (slower than default) without getting unstable,. hwinfo64 has a stat for ecc memory errors
Love these kinds of videos investigating suspicious computer hardware!
My only question is: Can this card be considered an option for upgrade from an integrated graphics CPU? Like a Ryzen 3200G or any of the Intel CPUs.
Did you have to pay any import duty ? Just wondering.
The box reminds me of the one my rx 570 from MSI was delivered in – without the robot of course.
It's a notebook gpu turned into a desktop gpu that's why the low power
You can use FSR in Witcher 3 too
I thought this card would have done better, I think it was the memory bandwith that hurt it mostly?
Very impressive for a budget card. I was surprised how good the percentile figures where and never that far off the average FPS. You may want to strip the card and make sure the thermal pads/paste are ok but solid budget offering and great review as normal.
RX 5700 XT for 150 euro's was a steal. They where heavily discounted for awhile their back to 170/200 now.
You know this is perfect timing seeing a Maxsun card after revisiting a HW Unboxed video including their LGA 1700 motherboard
I have had Maxsun DDR4 for a while and it over locks nicely !
ahh sir i from singapore in my pc got rtx 3070ti icraft maxsun. and it sold here from retailer. and Tbh the design is beautiful for my build
You would be crazy to buy one of these new, prices on the used market are insanely low, the £100 or so you would pay for this could get you a 1660 super/1070, basically gpu's with much more performance and vram than this RX 550
I had a socket 1150 ITX board from Maxsun. Quite full featured for what it cost and it worked fine. Had some strange choices like 10/100 ethernet and USB3 as a front panel header, but not on the rear. Other than that, no complaints.
Ayo please do check out 51Risc 30 series cards for a "legitimacy check"
I mean there are some on YT but none are in English lol
I've been considering getting a RX 6600M (repurposed for desktop) but I'm super skeptical. It's a really good price and will be a massive upgrade from my GTX 1060. I've seen videos saying that it performs just like a normal desktop RX 6600
DX12 on rx550 it must be a blast to play it xDDD
This card made my 1030 jealous
Got a 4gb MAXSUN rx580 I'd say cooling is not the best compared to other known brands but one of the cheapest card I found for only 95$ two years ago runs fine with undervolting maxing at only 75°c
Well, I don't want to sound bitter, but rx580 8gb is been selling for 75 dollars "new" over AliExpress. Actually is a 470, but, nevertheless…
You really need to include some – power consumption (electric) figures – in these Cost of Living days. You can get a 'thing' that plugs in – for a couple of quid – to measure Watts
This performance is quite good for only 25 watts
Me looking at my Sapphire RX550: You see that little buddy, you are still good.
Though i really have to get rid of this A6-6400K APU and replace it… unfortunately my Gigabyte motherboard refuses to cooperate with my BIOS update…
Nice video
good
RX 550 is basically good for games from PS4 era at 1080p low-med settings. Newer games require heavy use of FSR . They could run, but they look far worse than intended.
Do you have to pay the customs and tax when ordering from AliExpress?
I bought a gt730 a few years back for 20 bucks on ebay, the shroud and fan look identical, problem is that gt730 only has one fan speed and runs that big ass fan at 100% constantly, it's loud
Just because it's not popular in your country, doesn't mean it's bad! 🤓
I'd like better you've included temps 2 compare with the eu edition cards we can buy at stock.
Hey man, can you review chromebook 4 from Samsung. Is it good enough to install windows 11 on it.
