In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB are very slightly better than the AMD Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB.
The RX 5500 XT has a 549 MHz higher core clock speed but 40 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RX 570. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the RX 5500 XT manages to provide 1.6 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5500 XT has a 549 MHz higher core clock speed than the RX 570 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX 5500 XT providing 17.5 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5500 XT was released over a year more recently than the RX 570, and so the RX 5500 XT is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RX 570.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB are the same, which means the RX 5500 XT and the RX 570 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB has 1408 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB has 2048. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5500 XT is 1689 and the actual shader performance of the RX 570 is 2683. The RX 570 having 994 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX 5500 XT performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 5500 XT transistor size technology is 7 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RX 570. This means that the RX 5500 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RX 570.
The Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB requires 110 Watts to run and the Radeon RX 570 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC 4GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 5500 XT and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 570. The RX 570 requires 10 Watts more than the RX 5500 XT to run. The difference is not significant enough for the RX 570 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RX 5500 XT.
