Radeon RX 5500 XT Benchmark Results — All CPU Pairings Tested
Radeon RX 5500 XT has been stress-tested in 2 distinct CPU pairings from 11 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 76.5/100 (grade B). The strongest measured pairing is AMD Ryzen 5 3600 at 76.5/100; the weakest is AMD Ryzen 5 3500 at 76.5/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0.7% with thermal health around 96/100.
What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Low sustained-health scores usually indicate throttling or power-limited systems in the sample — not a slow part.
Full combo analysisCitable facts about Radeon RX 5500 XT
- Radeon RX 5500 XT has been measured in 2 distinct CPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 11 verified browser stress-test samples.
- Sample-weighted median Sustained Health Score across all Radeon RX 5500 XT configurations: 76.5/100 (grade B). This score measures performance retention under sustained load, not peak throughput.
- Best measured pairing (min 5 samples): Radeon RX 5500 XT + AMD Ryzen 5 3600 at 76.5/100 from 7 samples.
- Weakest measured pairing (min 5 samples): Radeon RX 5500 XT + AMD Ryzen 5 3500 at 76.5/100 from 4 samples — low scores typically indicate thermal throttling or power-limited systems, not a slow chip.
- Typical sustained-load GPU performance decay: 0.7%. Average thermal health: 96/100. Path-tracing stability: 92/100.
- Per-pairing scores are medians (outlier-resistant); pairings are labeled High (15+ samples), Moderate (5-14) or Low (<5) confidence.
