[PConline evaluation] Speaking of Biostar Motherboards must have been heard, but when it comes to Biostar graphics card, it must be little known! In fact, Biostar has been doing video cards, but most of them are OEM channels. Recently, Galego received a Biostar RX550 2GB overseas edition. It appears that the Biostar video card will have more investment in the retail end. Take a look at this product. Biostar RX550 2GB Overseas Edition Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quotation Parameters Overview No need for external power supply, energy-saving and efficient, short stature! Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version uses only a single fan cooling design, the whole body of the black shroud makes the first card gives people the first feeling is very small. This video card does not have a backplane, so it's so short that the shroud is still shorter than the video card PCB. But overall it is already a MINI! The whole card size is 175 × 100 × 40mm, ITX graphics length, this size can be compatible with most commercially available chassis; at the same time, no external power supply design makes it very friendly to the old machine! The I/O interface configuration is DVI-D+HDMI+DP, which is not much more than enough.

The price, the current Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version of the official quoted at 599 yuan, with the vast majority of non-public RX550 graphics offer flat, but a small number of sellers with a minimum of 489 yuan to sell, want to come and be lovable! 9cm ultra-quiet fan with full aluminum large fin cooling, 3-phase power supply General low-end cards are very easy to remove, this card is no exception, remove the four spring screws to easily separate the heat sink and PCB. Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version uses a large piece of aluminum cooling base + large fins with 9cm ultra quiet temperature control fan design, simple and rugged enough to meet the TDP is only 75W RX550 core is more than enough! 3-phase digital power supply, 100% all solid-state capacitors, high-quality materials, and the entire PCB is small, compact and compact. The same is Hynix GDDR5 memory, a single 512MB, a total of four, memory capacity of a total of 2G, memory frequency of 7000MHz. What about performance? We will announce next! 3DMark Theory Test and Game Performance Test Hardware platform CPU Intel i7-7700K Motherboard ROG MAXIMUS IX FORMULA Memory Zhichi Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 8G×2 Hard Disk Plextor M6V 512GB+ A-DATA SU800 256G Power Supply Zhenhua Iceberg Kingdee 1300W Graphics Card Biostar RX550 2GB Overseas Edition NVIDIA GT 1030 NVIDIA GTX1050 NVIDIA GTX 750Ti NVIDIA GTX 750 AMD RX560 Intel HD630 software platform Operating System Windows 10 Pro 64bit Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce 382.53 AMD Crimson Edition 16.6.1 Test Platform Description: The test platform uses a consumer-grade platform Z270+i7 7700K top-end; at the same time, in order to more closely match the use of more users, we also added the Intel i7 7700K comes with a nuclear display HD630 for comparison; A total of seven video cards were selected for comparison testing, and the drivers were all in the latest version. Do not talk nonsense, direct results. 3DMark Theory Performance Test Theoretical test summary: 3DMark theoretical performance testing Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version of the small ultra GT1030, and RX560 gap is clear, product positioning is clear, will not be more ambiguous, and the burst nuclear display! How does it perform in the game? Game performance test Based on the positioning of the RX550, we selected several games that are more suitable for it to test it. There are popular online games "League of Legends" and "Watch Watch Pioneer." There are also large stand-alone "Tomb Raider 10" and "Warhammer: Comprehensive. "War", then both are running at low picture quality. Test summary: In the tomb 10 and Warhammer two stand-alone games, Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version is very advantageous, the average number of frames leading GT1030 about 3-6 frames or so, under the eye-catching performance of DX12 games; overall performance unexpectedly! It can be said that such an entry-level graphics card can meet the majority of players demand for high-quality online games. Platform power test In order to get closer to the real-life scenarios in the player's daily applications and to more fully understand the power consumption advantages of the Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version, we measured the platform power consumption in the 3DMark stress tester, game copy machine, and standby mode respectively. . Power consumption test summary: Biostar RX550 2GB overseas game power consumption is 126W, when the copy machine 110W, standby 49W; power consumption is slightly higher than the GT1030. A 200W or more power supply is sufficient to meet its needs, and it is very friendly to the old machine. Video card full loader temperature test In order to test the extreme temperature of the Biostar RX550 2GB overseas version, we used the 3DMark FireStrike stress test program for testing. Test summary: After running the 3DMark FireStrike stress test, the maximum temperature of the Biostar RX550 2GB overseas edition is only 65°C. The performance is very outstanding. We can't think that this small fan can't watch the performance but it's OK! Video card full load noise test Here we use the noise meter to test the fan noise when the 3DMark FireStrike stress test program is fully loaded. Test summary: The maximum noise during the pager is 45.5 dB. It is very quiet and will not feel noisy when put into the chassis! About noise: 0 - 20 db: very quiet, almost imperceptible; 20 -40 db: quiet, like whisper; 40 - 60 db: normal general indoor conversation; 60 - 70 db: noisy: denervated; 70 -90 db: Very noisy, nerve cells are damaged. 90 -100 db: Intensified noise, impaired hearing; 100 - 120 db: Unbearable, one minute or temporary deafness. 120 decibels or more: Extremely paralyzed or fully paralyzed; 300 decibels or more or more: Irreversible deafness for people with a radius of 20 km.
