Radeon RX 5500 XT vs Radeon RX 560X

When choosing between Radeon RX 5500 XT and Radeon RX 560X, it is worth examining the specifications of the models in detail. Do they meet the recommended requirements of modern games and software? Storage capacity, form factor, TDP, available ports, warranty and manufacturer support are all important. For example, the size of a PC case can limit the maximum thickness and length of the card.
