I’ll have the article on how to properly test the video card on oztalkshw.fun tomorrow even. Please check out Skillshare! Link the description. Enjoy the video 😊
I'd question the long-term legality of these cards in terms of IP (intellectual property); I doubt AISURIX are authorized partners of Nvidia and AMD; you never know if Nvidia or AMD may sue them and/or put a stop to this. The fact that AISURIX has a physical location in a western market (Australia according to their website), makes it more easier/likely Nvidia and AMD to clamp down on them in a legal context versus other companies that are strictly located in China. It's highly likely the GPUs were salvaged off of old/malfunctioning/dead cards and re-manufactured with a new PCB, fans, etc. A similar practice to this which is relatively common in Shenzhen would be those companies who've salvaged old enterprise/server/workstation chipsets and soldered those on to new PCBs and re-marketed them as new Intel X79, X99 motherboards. I'd suggest you contact Nvidia and AMD just to confirm on how legit this is.
While other channels complain about how miserable things are, you are finding positive solutions to our hobby. Thank you! Things are not good but it really boils down to what you do with your time.
I included this RX 580 to my first build (in which I mixed parts from your 2 previous 500 and 400$ builds). I put everything together last week. I am VERY HAPPY with it. Been playing GTA V, Cyberpunk, RDR2, etc. on it at very decent settings and very decent FPS. Thanks OZ for your amazing guidance and good vibes !!!!!!
The RX580 and it's variants are kind of legendary. I swear this card has had the longest relevant lifespan of any GPU ever. It simply will not die. I've contemplated buying one and building a living room Steam console PC using HoloISO (the OS the Steam Deck uses but customized to run on a desktop, it's not compatible with Nvidia GPU's).
I picked up a MSI-3060-GAMING-X-12G for $380. 12 GB Vram and 40% faster than the $170 1660 super you show. I am starting to like MSI, but that limits possibilities. Oh, and I like the calm demeanor you have. You are much more pleasant to watch than a lot of the computer guys on youtube. Subscribed.
I totally agree, this card is an amazing bargain at the moment. Price to performance is unparalleled. Incidentally, I picked up a used RX 480 8 GB for $50 CAD (about $37 USD), perfect condition, not a miner card, and it works like a charm. It's not in my primary system, but for secondary lighter duty gaming system when friends over, and for media playback, it's superb! Great video.
i had bought a 5500xt from these guys that started going bad within a week. I got a refund and sent the unit back and they are now forcing me to remove the bad review that I posted and changing it into a 5 star review. This is probably what they do to everyone who ever gave them a bad rating. Needless to say, that 2 star review stays on
Well, your "bad" review is a lie to be honest. You can't get better than a service that immediately makes right the times when a product unfortunately was defective. Your experience is a 5 star one. It's a 5 star one that involved you getting an unfortunate defective product (as will happen with every company in existence occasionally), but still unquestionably a 5 star one.
@@wyterabitt2149 the issue with me is the fact that they are claiming the product is brand new AND that the reviews posted online are not accurate. As consumers how will we know what's happening if all possible bad reviews are being changed? they even offered to pay me to change it.
I've been running MingZhou GTX1660 Super 6gb for about 6 months in my rig. (it was around 110$ usd on aliexpress, and used cards were about 200$ in my country) It is an Aliexpress card (probbably a used mining gpu chip, but on a brand new PCB board). It works great for now, performance is there, and it is cool, never gets over 70c under load. I only changed the chinese thermal paste for a cooler master one (not super high end) and that's it. I had a used Asus 1070ti, and an XFX RX580, they all died after 3 moths of use.( demolished with mining by previous owners)
@@Eleganttf2 from my previous experience with chinese electronics, they just use poor quality thermal compound, they probbably get it in bulk very cheap...i changed it just to be safe...i used cooler master esentials 3-4$
It's technically an RX 570 that was originally sold as an RX 580 in China as a GPU. Putting these old chips on new PCBs isn't a bad idea as AMD and Nvidia aren't really paying attention to the budget market anymore.
I used to have one of these RX580s. It worked fine for two months, then it refused to give any image to the monitor. I returned it back to the store and bought an RX580 from MSI. Yeah it's a bit more expensive, but feels more secure.
1660 super/ti is also slept on considering its a newer and more power efficient alternative to 580/5500xt and you can get a reputable AIB version on the used market, 8GB polaris can be price gouged sometimes so the 1660super or 1660ti with 6gb vram and better perf is worth a look
I have a 1440p panel on my main rig, but in my living room, I have a 1080p projector. I bought a refurbished RX 580 from Aliexpress for $80, paired with some old parts, and it's pretty awesome. Even the most recent titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, run just fine on this card, although with reduced settings and some upscaling. However, older AAA games can run on high or even ultra settings without any issues at 1080p!
I’m using the RX5500 XT right now lol. It’s pretty amazing! Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on medium, sitting very comfortably at 60fps! At High it sits at around 30, but if you’re comfy with lower resolution you can consistently get 60fps at higher settings. I don’t know a lot about computers but it feels really good!
Talk about age all you want my old ass 980 is still crushing it 🤷🏽♂️! No plans to replace it until I upgrade from my I5 8500. Great video as always Oz!
I'm using an RX580 while typing this comment right now. IMHO, it's a great budget card with decent performance. It won't run rings around the new stuff, but the games I use are DirectX 9c. So, this card does more than what I ever really wanted need.
There are lots of these rx 580s popping up on my local amazon as well. But with different brands and some are completely unbranded. The GPU-z screenshot they show has the same specs as an RX 570. Personally for 100-150$, I prefer used 1660 supers/Tis from known brands. But if you strictly want a "new" card. Then this maybe the product for you.
It's not "new" in a sense. The pcb may be new. But the GPU itself is not. And sometimes they have dodgy bios. If you have a healthy used market then it is no issue. But for many places where the used market is like asking a nuclear bombed hell hole this might do it. Dunno how long they will last thought especially with poor aftersale services, 1 year? 2 year? 3 years?
I hate to say it but I’ve had horrible luck with MSI . I just got a X570 board back and it’s finally working correctly. The turnaround was good , but this is my 3rd MSI board that has had to be sent back over the years . I’ve had a doa card as well . I’m going to give this brand a try .
People forget about workstation GPUs, AMD Pro WX series and Nvidia Quadro series using gputechbench is pretty good way to find workstation GPUS that can still kickass today
Got one of these in november from aliexpress for like 85US$, it was a real fever here in Brazil, a lot of channels did videos on these RX 580 2048sp cards, until now it has worked like a charm, never had any problem with it, and I hope it stays like that. They're literally just an RX 570, but coming from a gt1030, they're perfect for me (even more that I'm still using a Haswell i5 lol), never thought I could have this performance for the price I paid, I play all games on high using 900p because of my monitor, and I even play some games in 1440p/4K when I hook it up to the TV (4K is only playable with FSR), all modern games run perfect for me, from RE4R to Cyberpunk, the only one that didn't run was Forspoken (but that game is trash anyway).
Aisurix cards re-use old GPU and memory on their new PCBs. These GPUs are old cut down cards. THE Rx 580 they sell are cut down 580s, same for the other models. These were released for the China market only as mining cards. This was discovered by a few Malaysian and Thai channels on YT when they did their tear downs.
Great video I watch a lot of tech channels and I haven't seen anyone cover these. I think it's very interesting. I also feel that if this company continues to make out of print cards with higher vram on them at a decent price it will be interesting to see how a heavy vram game will react to them. I picked up Dec a 6750xt 12gig model two fan card for 450 which still is better then the 4070 which is wild to me. Love your vibe new subscribe here.
I've come to realize that many of those tech channels are mere shills for the big companies that sell overpriced hardware. They're never going to talk about stuff like this.
Rx 6500 XT 4gb 80 USD, just find a seller who regret buying it already. But missing codec was no problem and it was proven to be a good value card. X 264 software encoding with cpu power it had no problem in my usages
The GPU chip could be new from partners that have never made cards from them and had left over stock which is now going down the line to lower end card makers... It's cheaper to find unused GPU's that are left over in warehouses then de-solder and sell as good as new which requires extensive tests and so on...
I think this rebuilding of a GPU from an older and functional die with new vram, pcb etc is a great thing and if it can offer a vg GPU at a great price ….. it’s a win for gamers so I’m all in!🥰🥳🤩💪
I dig budget setups, even if I'm not using them myself. Today it's not a question of if something will run, it's about how it will run so even older GPUs are usually fine. The only exception are some AAA games with terrible optimization and those are rarely relevant to justify any upgrade. I noticed this trend or hardware companies acting as if 4k is the new hot stuff, but so many people play at 1080p and it's totally fine while maybe 1440p is the sweet spot if you have more budget. For 60Hz gaming so many GPUs are more than enough and with AM5 getting more and more things out AM4 will only get more affordable.
Just an FYI, based on how much cheaper the 4070TI is than the 4090(half the card in all respects) we would normally call this an XX60 or 60TI, and the price would be between 1/3rd and 1/4th, or at most $539 or as low as $400, not $800 Now the 3060 is far outside of the norm at $330, when the 3090 was $1500, wile the successor to the 12GB 3060 swung in the opposite direction, with an MSRP 2.4x that of the 3060, despite the 3060 being priced at the peak of parts inflation, and the 4070TI being priced during the parts price crash
I mention this because they've already announced the successor to the 3050, and they're calling it the 4060TI, probably with a price point of $399, so i doubt that unless they bring back the XX30 class, and call it a 4050TI with a sub 100mm die, 64 bit bus and 4GB of RAM, that i doubt we're going to have a card under $299, and even if we do, you probably should just get integrated graphics.
it's a similar concept behind using older x79 or x99 xeons on fresh new Chinese made x79 or x99 motherboards. I have a e5-2650 v2 used xeon on a Kllisre x79 v2.82 mobo for a Linux Mint rig as my daily driver, not for gaming. I built this back in Oct of 2021. Runs great, and it's speedy enough for my needs. I don't have issue of companies filling that gap in the GPU market that AMD and Nvidia are disregarding. I'm looking in the near future to change up my evga gtx 960 4gb card to something with 8GB down the road. I might be looking at this concept GPUs of used GPU chip on new PCB.
I've ordered these cards before and i've had two fail, and one I was sent was dirty with some sort of oil around the power plug for the fans. I do not believe they are new PCB's just cleaned and made to look new.
G'day Oz, nice to see a few regular videos lately, hope you are doing well adulting. As long as they are listed correctly I think these Recycled GPU dies & Motherboard chipsets parts are a good compromise for those on a tight budget but are scared of buying used from Ebay or Local Trade Sites, but yeah they also have to be willing to look after those trying to communicate with them about their products not ghosting them.
thanks for this video i actually was trying to do a bunch of research for something for a small upgrade but also a working card as i have a rx 580 from my brothers co worker but it crashes every now and then and its weird cuz its not during anything specific maybe during after hours of gaming or even after minutes of turning on so im at a loss and wanted to buy a gpu around under 200. was giving the 1660 super a look and might go with that, after i might go to a 3060 ti. i was also wondering if you think you can maybe do videos about when cpus start to bottle neck the gpu? that would be nice i dont see alot of videos basically saying " this is the max and best gpu you should get for "x" cpu other then that itll be bottlenecked"
Honestly I'm glad to see that "e-waste" Is being put to good use! These parts are popping up in Newegg as well, and another YTer has been checking out motherboards with repurposed laptop & engineering samples of CPUs soldered to them...this is an opportunity for many HK & mainland small businesses to make money and for us to save some cash! And Oz, it's time to talk to the people more about SteamOS, how it's going to save a PC gamer money, and freeing one's self from the shackles of Microsoft's All-Seeing Sauron Eye. (Heck it doesn't have to be SteamOS, a current Debian build would work too.)
Yea, it's not like Steam is a damaging monopoly and is only doing these things for the single purpose of making this monopoly even more extreme and unbreakable.
I found an rx 6600xt for $160. Should I get it? I'm planning on saving up to upgrade my mbo, cpu, and ram, as right now, I run an i7 4770, 32gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, and a gtx 1660 6gb. Should I wait until after I upgrade my other components, or get it now?
Hey man I would love to see you build a home gaming server! I have been running them on the same computer for a couple years and would like some guidance for home gaming server hardware. I know they are nothing special but it would still be cool.
Please can you do a follow up quick video where you test how well the VRAM will OC? If these chips have been mined on then it's usually the RAM that takes a beating. I'd be interested to know if that has been refreshed or if it's the same VRAM that - if it's a 580 - has potentially been through both of the mining GPU droughts.
I unfortunately can't do a video, but I did overclock the VRAM on the RX 580 using AMD's Adrenaline software. Here are my settings :D 1350 Mhz Core @ 1100 mV | 2250 MHz VRAM @ 850 mV | +50% Power Limit
@@OzTalksHW appreciate you taking the time to reply. Those OCs don't sound too bad so hopefully these cards will last new users a while. Polaris just refuses to die.
bruh, i got regular used 580 8gb for just 80$ used mining and 90$ used gaming (2020 price in my country) and if you dont want to be a red team, you can buy gtx 1070 for just 110-130$ (i sold mine for 80$ because i need extra 80$ to buy new cpu asap). i got 580 and its on par with my old gtx 1070, sure buying used cards are risky but it is the fun part about buying used stuff.
As a person who paid 350 dollars for a 1650 non super (I was desperate in 2022) this is so nice to see cause it means way less people are gonna avoid what I did, and best part they are getting a a really good deal!
Oz, just wondering if you have a policy of making it clear whether a video is sponsored or not? I personally don't critique the video differently either way, but would be nice for the creator to be up front about it
love the intro and the 3minutes portion of securing the cards are legit. seeing people do worry seeing their price point. yep they works seeing that it runs New World 😆
After looking at some specs, I'm here for a second reply. There is a catch to this RX 580. It's NOT a 580, its a 570. The RX 570 has 2048 shaders and a memory clock of 1750mhz. This "580" has the same specs as a 570. I picked up a 580 last month and GPU-Z reports 2304 shaders and a 2000mhz memory clock. I would be more than happy to make a short video with a link for proof to show.
Correct. Except that AMD did actually release a chip that they called the 'RX 580 2048 SP' in China. They were all new at the time (both the chip and the PCB). Though not in the West. Here it's only ever been called the RX 570/RX 470 of course. As a result, everyone who knows how to re-flash a GPU with a modded bios is flogging off old RX 470 & RX 570 chips as the 'RX 508 2048 SP'. Thanks for that AMD! Total mess. There are also RX 470D cards with 1792 SPs and RX 560 XT cards with 1792 & 2048 SPs floating around. Of which the former are actually official, but the latter are not and seem dodgy as hell (because they must be old RX 470/RX470D/RX570 chips!)
I think the catch was something about the bandwidth or memory speeds being halfed from a standard 580 cause it was a mobile chip or something. Seen toasty bros use one of these.

This sounds great. However they should up their support services as they may see an uptick in purchasing due to the current price gouging practices.
It's technically an RX 570 that was originally sold as an RX 580 in China as a GPU. Putting these old chips on new PCBs isn't a bad idea as AMD and Nvidia aren't really paying attention to the budget market anymore.
Especially nvidia who seems will gladly kill off the consumer base before even considering reducing prices.
Snatched a ASRock A750 for 199, pretty happy with it's performance.
Enjoy! I enjoyed my a750's performance too
I have had the 580 for about 2 weeks and I must honestly say, this GPU is great! No issues with the FPS and the temps are good, running pretty cool.

rx 580 2048sp is a great budget card, amazon 30 days is a great thing too, lack of warranty on the used market is a big blocker for many people.

They're literally just an RX 570, but coming from a gt1030, they're perfect for me (even more that I'm still using a Haswell i5 lol), never thought I could have this performance for the price I paid, I play all games on high using 900p because of my monitor, and I even play some games in 1440p/4K when I hook it up to the TV (4K is only playable with FSR), all modern games run perfect for me, from RE4R to Cyberpunk, the only one that didn't run was Forspoken (but that game is trash anyway).
My boy uploaded again!!!
Aisurix cards re-use old GPU and memory on their new PCBs. These GPUs are old cut down cards. THE Rx 580 they sell are cut down 580s, same for the other models. These were released for the China market only as mining cards. This was discovered by a few Malaysian and Thai channels on YT when they did their tear downs.
Great video I watch a lot of tech channels and I haven't seen anyone cover these. I think it's very interesting. I also feel that if this company continues to make out of print cards with higher vram on them at a decent price it will be interesting to see how a heavy vram game will react to them. I picked up Dec a 6750xt 12gig model two fan card for 450 which still is better then the 4070 which is wild to me. Love your vibe new subscribe here.
I've come to realize that many of those tech channels are mere shills for the big companies that sell overpriced hardware. They're never going to talk about stuff like this.
Is it me or does this video sound very quiet? Audio sounds kinda muffled?

RX 580 here, solid entry level gaming gpu, can be had for 80-100 euros used, I am at an 1080p 60hz monitor, and haven't even overclocked it.
fr tho "Are they ACTUALLY new..?" timestamp is really comforting, i already trust them since i bought one back 2019 it works.
RX 580s for 100$ have been really common lately
Back before Covid, I could find 2nd hand 580s for 90 to 120 bucks. That was back in 2018.
580 doesn't support DirectX 12.1 Feature Levels so you won't be able to play the new games without patches like DXVK.
was it the 2048SP ?
I bought 4 asrock rx 580s for $82 each recently.
@@R3TR0J4N It's an RX 570 that they call an RX 580. They were built for mining, but they missed the mining boom
Rx 6500 XT 4gb 80 USD, just find a seller who regret buying it already. But missing codec was no problem and it was proven to be a good value card. X 264 software encoding with cpu power it had no problem in my usages
The GPU chip could be new from partners that have never made cards from them and had left over stock which is now going down the line to lower end card makers... It's cheaper to find unused GPU's that are left over in warehouses then de-solder and sell as good as new which requires extensive tests and so on...
Love this content, keep it up!
I think this rebuilding of a GPU from an older and functional die with new vram, pcb etc is a great thing and if it can offer a vg GPU at a great price ….. it’s a win for gamers so I’m all in!🥰🥳🤩💪
I dig budget setups, even if I'm not using them myself. Today it's not a question of if something will run, it's about how it will run so even older GPUs are usually fine. The only exception are some AAA games with terrible optimization and those are rarely relevant to justify any upgrade.
I noticed this trend or hardware companies acting as if 4k is the new hot stuff, but so many people play at 1080p and it's totally fine while maybe 1440p is the sweet spot if you have more budget.
For 60Hz gaming so many GPUs are more than enough and with AM5 getting more and more things out AM4 will only get more affordable.
I love it and I hope they start doing it to other cards like the rtx 2060
I bought my friend a 1660s for his birthday a few weeks ago. these old cards are still great
You can still buy the VSA-100 chip NEW!
That chip is the processor for the VooDoo 4500 (year 2000),
You can still buy it new and make new cards!
If you get modified drivers, you can play modern games like Robocop or starfield
Just an FYI, based on how much cheaper the 4070TI is than the 4090(half the card in all respects) we would normally call this an XX60 or 60TI, and the price would be between 1/3rd and 1/4th, or at most $539 or as low as $400, not $800
Now the 3060 is far outside of the norm at $330, when the 3090 was $1500, wile the successor to the 12GB 3060 swung in the opposite direction, with an MSRP 2.4x that of the 3060, despite the 3060 being priced at the peak of parts inflation, and the 4070TI being priced during the parts price crash
I mention this because they've already announced the successor to the 3050, and they're calling it the 4060TI, probably with a price point of $399, so i doubt that unless they bring back the XX30 class, and call it a 4050TI with a sub 100mm die, 64 bit bus and 4GB of RAM, that i doubt we're going to have a card under $299, and even if we do, you probably should just get integrated graphics.
i actually have the RX 5500xt i love it paired with the i3-13100f and the B660M Motherboard
that looks like an active guitar, what do you play Oz?
it's a similar concept behind using older x79 or x99 xeons on fresh new Chinese made x79 or x99 motherboards. I have a e5-2650 v2 used xeon on a Kllisre x79 v2.82 mobo for a Linux Mint rig as my daily driver, not for gaming. I built this back in Oct of 2021. Runs great, and it's speedy enough for my needs. I don't have issue of companies filling that gap in the GPU market that AMD and Nvidia are disregarding. I'm looking in the near future to change up my evga gtx 960 4gb card to something with 8GB down the road. I might be looking at this concept GPUs of used GPU chip on new PCB.
I've ordered these cards before and i've had two fail, and one I was sent was dirty with some sort of oil around the power plug for the fans. I do not believe they are new PCB's just cleaned and made to look new.
Dude, with that calm voice and approach you should be on a radio station as you could help and teach people with road rage to take it easy ;-)
G'day Oz,
nice to see a few regular videos lately, hope you are doing well adulting.
As long as they are listed correctly I think these Recycled GPU dies & Motherboard chipsets parts are a good compromise for those on a tight budget but are scared of buying used from Ebay or Local Trade Sites, but yeah they also have to be willing to look after those trying to communicate with them about their products not ghosting them.
Thanks Shane! always nice to see you in the comment section
BTW on Newegg that same GPU is around 70 USD
thanks for this video i actually was trying to do a bunch of research for something for a small upgrade but also a working card as i have a rx 580 from my brothers co worker but it crashes every now and then and its weird cuz its not during anything specific maybe during after hours of gaming or even after minutes of turning on so im at a loss and wanted to buy a gpu around under 200. was giving the 1660 super a look and might go with that, after i might go to a 3060 ti. i was also wondering if you think you can maybe do videos about when cpus start to bottle neck the gpu? that would be nice i dont see alot of videos basically saying " this is the max and best gpu you should get for "x" cpu other then that itll be bottlenecked"
hey right now on newegg the MLLSE "same card from what i understand" rx580 8gb are on sale for $69.99 after tax and expedited shipping i paid $88 !
This channel is amazing. Nice to see someone making budget rigs, and saving perfectly usable PC's from the junk pile of planned obsolescence.
Im still stuck with a 1660 Super from when i built my system back in Feb 2020.
Honestly I'm glad to see that "e-waste" Is being put to good use! These parts are popping up in Newegg as well, and another YTer has been checking out motherboards with repurposed laptop & engineering samples of CPUs soldered to them...this is an opportunity for many HK & mainland small businesses to make money and for us to save some cash!
And Oz, it's time to talk to the people more about SteamOS, how it's going to save a PC gamer money, and freeing one's self from the shackles of Microsoft's All-Seeing Sauron Eye. (Heck it doesn't have to be SteamOS, a current Debian build would work too.)
Yea, it's not like Steam is a damaging monopoly and is only doing these things for the single purpose of making this monopoly even more extreme and unbreakable.
I have bought and used these cards personally, in new and used builds.
Have not let me down.
Thanks for making this video Oz!
These amazing videos deserve a sub
I found an rx 6600xt for $160.
Should I get it? I'm planning on saving up to upgrade my mbo, cpu, and ram, as right now, I run an i7 4770, 32gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, and a gtx 1660 6gb.
Should I wait until after I upgrade my other components, or get it now?
Hey man I would love to see you build a home gaming server! I have been running them on the same computer for a couple years and would like some guidance for home gaming server hardware. I know they are nothing special but it would still be cool.
This dropped right as I was looking for a new card, thank you so much! ❤
You should check out Rick Rubin's The Creative Act, has some really good gems to help you with your creative mindset!
What CPU and RAM did you use for the benchmarks?
Please can you do a follow up quick video where you test how well the VRAM will OC? If these chips have been mined on then it's usually the RAM that takes a beating. I'd be interested to know if that has been refreshed or if it's the same VRAM that - if it's a 580 - has potentially been through both of the mining GPU droughts.
I unfortunately can't do a video, but I did overclock the VRAM on the RX 580 using AMD's Adrenaline software. Here are my settings :D
1350 Mhz Core @ 1100 mV | 2250 MHz VRAM @ 850 mV | +50% Power Limit
@@OzTalksHW appreciate you taking the time to reply. Those OCs don't sound too bad so hopefully these cards will last new users a while. Polaris just refuses to die.
You are so humble man, I cant believe you are working a second job on top of this!
bruh, i got regular used 580 8gb for just 80$ used mining and 90$ used gaming (2020 price in my country) and if you dont want to be a red team, you can buy gtx 1070 for just 110-130$ (i sold mine for 80$ because i need extra 80$ to buy new cpu asap).
i got 580 and its on par with my old gtx 1070, sure buying used cards are risky but it is the fun part about buying used stuff.
As a person who paid 350 dollars for a 1650 non super (I was desperate in 2022) this is so nice to see cause it means way less people are gonna avoid what I did, and best part they are getting a a really good deal!
Yo Oz, maybe you can make a video about the RX 590 GME as well, I bought it the XFX RX590 GME. around USD 110.
Oz, just wondering if you have a policy of making it clear whether a video is sponsored or not? I personally don't critique the video differently either way, but would be nice for the creator to be up front about it
Have you thought of checking out the mi25 cards?
Thank you for the video, it is informative and a joy to watch.
That 100% looks like a ganja plant at 0:17 😂
love the intro and the 3minutes portion of securing the cards are legit. seeing people do worry seeing their price point. yep they works seeing that it runs New World 😆
Thanks! That was my biggest concern with these cards. Are they...yknow, legit? I wanted to hone that in first
This is really cool honestly!
After looking at some specs, I'm here for a second reply.
There is a catch to this RX 580. It's NOT a 580, its a 570.
The RX 570 has 2048 shaders and a memory clock of 1750mhz.
This "580" has the same specs as a 570.
I picked up a 580 last month and GPU-Z reports 2304 shaders and a 2000mhz memory clock.
I would be more than happy to make a short video with a link for proof to show.
Correct. Except that AMD did actually release a chip that they called the 'RX 580 2048 SP' in China. They were all new at the time (both the chip and the PCB).
Though not in the West. Here it's only ever been called the RX 570/RX 470 of course.
As a result, everyone who knows how to re-flash a GPU with a modded bios is flogging off old RX 470 & RX 570 chips as the 'RX 508 2048 SP'.
Thanks for that AMD! Total mess.
There are also RX 470D cards with 1792 SPs and RX 560 XT cards with 1792 & 2048 SPs floating around.
Of which the former are actually official, but the latter are not and seem dodgy as hell (because they must be old RX 470/RX470D/RX570 chips!)
I think the catch was something about the bandwidth or memory speeds being halfed from a standard 580 cause it was a mobile chip or something. Seen toasty bros use one of these.
Here in asia region, it costs 80$ with the same brand. It's a win-win for sure
i actually bought a 5500xt asriux 2weeks ago on amazon for 150
I like it too and hopefully it will help drop prices of the brand name products. 👍🏻
Sucks just that Polaris is simply old, hard to say how long it's supported anymore.
Your soft speaking is a nice contrast to Linus's screaming.
