2018 Mac Mini [8th,6C,B] + RX 5500 XT @ 32Gbps-TB3 (Sonnet Breakaway 650) + macOS 11.1 & Win10  

Did someone pull the trigger to early on big Navi? 😉 

nice clean build! Do you game? If so any benchmarks you could share?

 @eightarmedpet, Indeed. I was premature in selling my 5700 XT rig.

I‘ve found Star Wars Squadrons (Windows) to be a good play on the 5500 XT. AMD Navi is well-optimized for its Frostbrite game engine.

Many scenes are lit beautifully. Frame rates are twice what you might expect - running between 50-70 FPS at 4K Ultra settings.

Another good match for little Navi would be Dirt 4 (on Mac OS). The benefit of Big Sur's improved graphics performance is telling.

Even with miles of terrain being rendered, the game rocks at 4K Ultra settings in Fullscreen mode.

FPS are only 30-35ish at High settings - sure, but game play is very smooth and fluid. 

When it comes to Fornite Battle Royale (Windows), my friends and I usually play like a bunch of tourists. Rarely do we turn competitive. 

So on my machine, setting the graphics to EPIC in 4K Fullscreen mode is still worth it. I find Battle Royale's art direction to be entirely gawk-worthy, and I’ll take that performance hit, thank you.

Running on the little 5500 XT, this very scenic and colorful game is - somehow - still enjoyable at 21 FPS.

Total War: Troy (Mac OS) is another Epic title playing out against - at times - colorfully rendered graphics.

I (of course) prefer to play at 4K res in Fullscreen mode. I keep those visual settings turned up. 

Troy has its moments of visual highlights. The art direction achieves some stylish looks. And, same as with Fortnite, the 5500 XT is a bit overwhelmed, really. 

I’m finding this title still entertains, tho. Even with FPS rates often falling  below 30.   

I missed this games update! Thanks for sharing... just won an i7 mini at a great price and will be moving desk space soon so looking forward to setting it ip and playing some games (after some real work obvs).
