History
Predecessor Radeon 400 series
Successor Radeon RX Vega series

The Radeon 500 series is a series of graphics cards made by AMD. These cards are based on the fourth iteration of the Graphics Core Next architecture, featuring GPUs based on Polaris 20, Polaris 11, and Polaris 12 chips.[1] Thus the RX 500 series uses the same microarchitecture and instruction set as its predecessor, while making use of improvements in the manufacturing process to enable higher clock rates.[2]

  1. ↑ Unified Shaders : Texture Mapping Units : Render Output Units
  2. ↑ Texture fillrate is calculated as the number of Texture Mapping Units multiplied by the base (or boost) core clock speed.
  3. ↑ Pixel fillrate is calculated as the number of Render Output Units multiplied by the base (or boost) core clock speed.
  4. ↑ Precision performance is calculated from the base (or boost) core clock speed based on a FMA operation.
