Low Vs Ultra Radeon RX 550 4GB Performance Review

Viewing the performance found on the 4 year old Radeon RX 550 4GB while playing BulletRage we quickly see it can return a consistently high 109 frame rate. Note that those results would be running at High and 1920x1080 screen res.

Following on from those 1920x1080 screen FPS, we know this GPU is of a much higher performance than the recommended system specs. Even 4K Ultra returns 35 FPS on BulletRage. But it’s still worth considering the $2.26 per Ultra 4K FPS you would get compared to the $1.34 at 1440p Ultra.

The optimum resolution for the Radeon RX 550 4GB here is 1080p, where it can push out reliable frame rates all day at Ultra. Put in to the system the required 16GB system memory and a processor thats as good as the AMD Ryzen R3 1200X and you have a great BulletRage experience.

To summarise, Radeon RX 550 4GB graphics cards can smoothly run this game, but what BulletRage screen resolution would you like to run with? While you can get 35 FPS with 4K Ultra you can increase your frame rate to 59 FPS in Ultra 1440p and up to 78 FPS with 1080p. Pricing this on a frame per frame around the graphics cards original price it will cost $1.01 per 1080p Ultra frame. This increases to $1.34 per frame at 1440p Ultra and even more with 4K Ultra at $2.26 per frame.
