RX550 over A8-5600K

I have a friend with an old A8-5600K APU and he likes to game, but that integrated GPU won't play quite every title, and I'm considering gifting him an RX550 (second-hand) that I might get for cheap. (he can't afford any kind of upgrade at the moment)

I just can't estimate how much of an upgrade that would be. I'm thinking 512 Polaris shaders @1100 with dedicated GDDR5 should be considerably better than 256 VLIW4 shaders @760 with shared system RAM, right? It should be enough to play any game at low settings, what do you guys think?
