AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
AMD's Radeon RX 580 uses the same Ellesmere GPU as its predecessor at higher clock rates. The new cards should start around $230 and compete against Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. We like the extra performance, but could do without AMD's proclivity for re-branding existing products.

The RX 580 from Gigabyte is a fantastic bang-for-your-buck GPU. The high-end cards from the top manufacturers usually perform similarly, so buying designs usually come down to aesthetics, software, warranty, etc. Given this situation the Aorus is certainly a great GPU that is well-built, has aggressive looks with great lighting, and performs well while being whisper-quiet at all times, even under full load. Good luck finding one for MSRP though.

We do know that GPUs are currently extremely difficult to get hold of due to this insane mining craze that’s going on, but if you were to buy a card… it really is a toss up between this and the GTX 1060, be it a STRIX model or something else. As Gavin clearly stated, if you can grab yourself an RX 480 for cheaper, you may as well go ahead and do that. If you can’t, then this one will suit you just fine as well.

At that price, the STRIX RX 580 is priced at the mid-tier of the spectrum, where AMD has been doing excellent lately. Making this card perfect for budget builds and mid-range build a like. That's why we are giving it the Proclockers “Highly Recommended” award. If you’re planning on getting card, The STRIX RX 580 is the perfect card for the gamer on almost any budget.

If you need a graphics card to show off and aren't willing to spend on a flagship-class GPU, the Strix Radeon RX 580 will satisfy you. If it's going to stay hidden away in a windowless cabinet, save a bit of money and go with a less flashy model.

The Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 580 TOP Edition 8GB is one of the most expensive Radeon RX 580 cards available, but offers excellent performance delivering similar overall frame rates to an overclocked Nvidia GTX 1060, although this will of course depend on which games you play. The board offers superb build quality and a great selection of features including programmable lighting effects and bundled overclocking software. It’s sheer size may be a problem for some smaller cases, however, and audible coil whine can occasionally spoil the experience.

Asus sent me their RX 580 STRIX OC to take a look at – but does it differ much from the last gen? Let's take a look and see how it performs! Want one? Amazon: prourls.co/xLcv OverclockersUK: bit.ly/2oSindZ - OverclockersUK Affiliate link:...

Undoubtedly this isn’t the card we expected AMD to launch right now. The RX 580, is no Titan killer, nor does it change the GPU ecosphere in any meaningful way, however it just slips in, taking back that value crown, away from Nvidia’s GTX 1060.

While it is more of the same we'll still recommend the product as the Radeon RX 580 certainly deserves a that. Remember though, it has three fans, eats three slots and is 30 cm in length! But yes, it's a great performing card up-to that and including the WQHD domain.

Those who do not want an Nvidia GPU and are on the lookout for a good graphics card that costs no more than 300 Euros (~$344) will not be disappointed with the Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 580. Besides the good cooling solution, the GPU also features eye-catching RGB effects.

By NotebookCheck on

Overall a great RX580 card to pick up if you have not upgraded over a while, but save a little more, and you can grab a higher-end card out in the market.
