Radeon RX 550 Linux Benchmarks: $89 Polaris GPU On Open-Source

At 1080p, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is playable with the RX 550 at around 120 FPS, but it's much slower than the competition. The GTX 1050 is only dollars more than the RX 550 yet performs sharply better with CS:GO on Linux OpenGL. The RX 580 is 84% faster than the RX 550 for this Valve FPS game.

Dota 2 at 1080p with OpenGL saw a frame-rate on the Radeon RX 550 just above 60 FPS, which ended up being faster than the R7 370 in this particular case. At least the RX 550 is much faster than the integrated Kabylake HD Graphics.

With the more demanding Metro Last Light Redux game, the RX 550 is now faster than the R7 260X and R7 370, but remains much slower than the GeForce GTX 1050.
