Bottom line: The 51RISC Radeon RX 550 LP Graphics Card: 4GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with DisplayPort and HDMI outputs; main trade-off: entry-level RX 550 core (1100-1183 MHz) is not built for modern AAA games at high settings.

  • Short/Small Form Factor (SFF) design fits in today’s Low-Profile desktops and workstations via the short bracket mounted on card. This LP card can fir easily fit in almost all mini-ITX cases.

  • Less Noisy: This low-profile graphics card is generally less noisy, because it comes with a single cooling fan, and uses a heatsink for cooling. it is almost silent in operation.
