Got 2 Rx 580 Nitro+ 8Gb from some IT security company for 75€ each (79$ for American friends). Cleaned both. While they were dusty and thermal paste was a little bit dry, pads were still like new (also those were original) so it seems both had not much use. Now runnnig 1411mhz with 1080mV uv. Still great cards.
@@DimondDoesTech Little update. Got myself two more of these cards (so now 4 total), for even few bucks cheaper (I hate having money on my hand :D ). Cleaned and tested all. At stock 1411mhz got them down to 1060-1090mV so not bad. One of them has faulty fan controller and so sometimes one of the fans goes 100%. Gonna leave this one for myself as backup GPU (even tho I have my "gpu box" with few working, partially working or dead terascale gpus). Second 580 went for my younger brother to replace his rx 470 which is already sold. Third one went to my father and got myself back my old gpu, gtx970 (still kicking and overclocks like champ). Will think later what to do with this one. Gonna sell the last one in the near future (they are easily selling for 90€ where I live so still profit). At the end didn't try crossfire partially because I was testing with backup psu (some 10 years old one). This is because my main one died (thankfully was pretty new so got replacement one yesterday from warranty).
I bought XFX RX 580 for 75$ a month ago, it was in a rig never opened and i still have no problems with it. The temps are at 65c max. I paired it with a i7 8700 and with 16gb of ram i have no problems running games at med/high 1080p
The 580 8gig still holds up well but in classic amd fashion the drivers on windows suck a** like Nvidia's drivers on Linux . I think you should try the 580 under linux with proton and stuff.i'd also recommend you throw in some older games too like csgo or hl2 for that specific test.
Yes I'd love to see how the mesa drivers compare with this card as I use linux and might have the possibility of getting this card soon. This is the last GCN card and seeing how well the other earilier GCN cards have aged, I think the potential is really up there as this card will still get around another 5 or so years of support plus maybe more because of mesa having a good long lasting support. I recommend using the Nobara Project distro with proton-ge for most performance. Nobara is aimed to provide the best gaming performance as well as ease of use.
@@Alex-ex5zm Alrighty thank you very much for the recommendation! I am definitely not very good with Linux based stuff so that actually sounds like a bit of fun to give that a go!
I picked up a MSI RX580 Armor 8G OC earlier this year and I'm loving it. I paid ~$100 Cdn and I'm having no issues with 1080p gaming. At the time it was 1/3 the price of a comparable Nvidia card. I run Windows 10, 11 and Linux mint 21 with no issues.
Same card I still use. It see's a lot of WoW, space engineers, GTA V and Rocket League. Apart from a few dodgy driver updates, its been amazing for the price over the years. Picked it up new in 2018 for $329AUD. Definitely have my moneys worth out of it
@@zeroplanet9 Heck yeah. Clearly with the games you play you wouldn't even need an upgrade and $329 new seems like that was a pretty fine deal given I remember that the 1060 6GB was pretty damn expensive back then
Just built a i3 12100f / Rx 580 8gb card runs all my games like a dream medium settings(high textures, with some other tweaks). WoW, CoD, OW2, Farcry 6 all run fine. Does get a little hot tho, 75c when gaming tho the case I have is old and doesn't have the best airflow
Thats quite a nice upgrade path you got there! Starting out with a pretty decent system and keeping the door open to make your system quite bad ass! 75c sounds pretty average for an RX 580 as, remember, the RX 580 was a budget card after all meaning that most examples have not the greatest cooler designs.
What's funny iis that I've been playing bonelab and red matter 2 running on the RX 580 and a ryzen 5 3600 and I'm not running into many issues. I had some issues with bonelab but after turning off the bloom in adjusting some other settings it runs smooth as can be. I have Windows 10 installed on my PC.
The performance is not the issue. It's the image quality with the quest 2 because of how airlink works. The quest 2 doesn't take a bog standard DP cable but instead takes a USB signal which requires the video output from the GPU to be encoded, sent to the headset via USB, then decoded. Because of driver issues with AMD, the bandwidth won't hit greater than 60Mbps which is not enough for a crisp and clear experience. There is a reason why the quest 2 needs 200Mbps of bandwidth on airlink to look it's best
To get around the vr issue, use the pro drivers not the adrenalin. I managed to get all vr games working that way, yet it cost me about 5-10 fps in non vr games. The 580 wasn't to run VR, that was the 590 so the 580 has the infuriating position of being overly good for gaming and VR, yet not having the driver support baked in for VR itself. Similar issue with the 570 and this is why you need a 590 off you wish for both gaming and VR.
Actually the RX 580 was advertised as being "VR Ready" Heck its even on the box my 580 came in. However if what you say is really true... Well then a new video is in order to revisit VR performance specifically. As when I tested it, it was actually reasonable but the image just looked like poo. I'm actually a bit excited to test that when I have some time off work.
@@DimondDoesTech Why would AMD address the 580 as VR Ready? They even specify everyone to purchase the 590 because they didn't add VR drivers to the 580. It was in a press release and on their driver website.
Well they advertised the shit out of the RX 580 as being "VR Ready" Hell if you take a look at the AMD site for the RX 580 promo and you'll see they recommended using them IN CROSSFIRE FOR 1 GPU PER SCREEN IN VR. EWW. Do you want to get motion sickness - MultiGPU VR is your answer! Edit: And if you remember the 1060 6GB was advertised as VR Ready as well. The RX 580 and 1060 6GB had similar performance although now I think the 580 8GB slightly outperforms the 1060 6GB. Can't test that theory though cause I don't got a 1060 6GB.
@@DimondDoesTech This is such an AMD thing. And they wonder why they keep getting sued. Found this out in my drivers that there wasn't VR support as my Oculus kept black screening after 15 minutes of gaming or putting my PC in sleep mode. Found out my Pro drivers worked with VR, but I lost frames in everything else because the Pro drivers have ai acceleration built in. The 590 is the only one with dedicated vr drivers and ai acceleration.
Well that's REALLY weird. When I was testing the 580 I was using drivers from 2021, 2022, and the most recent driver and I never had black screening be an issue; although I never use oculus link I use Airlink so I'm never tethered to my PC.
I love my RX 480 Strix with only one issue (three if you insist) There is no media acceleration, youtube playback is only through the CPU so slower units will struggle with basic 4k, as to the other two, one is that Asus gave the 480 a thin radiator and thermals are high unless you do a custom curve and undervolt third is harsh for me because even with new drivers, performance in OpenGL is still steps behind nvidia
Huh I've never had issues with media acceleration with my 580 but to be fair I've not used my 580 with a slow CPU thus far. Its odd to hear that Asus gave a card under their strix brand a poor quality cooler as that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. (Unless is that hideous atrocity that is the RX 570 that is just branded as an RX 580, aka the RX 580 2048sp) But yeah I did notice in OpenGL AMD still stinks there...
@@XmaXma6 yeah I’ve managed to put in an offer for $100 AUD, less than $100 USD, and put in a meeting time but no response from the seller yet, but he has agreed to the price.
You really should go for the 5500XT. It isn't the best value but it is more power efficient and you are likely to get a few more years of driver support out of it vs the 580 given the 580 is a decent bit older.
@@zcupofwater If you are someone who is ok with Nvidia cards I would recommend nabbing a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti. They are LUDICROUSLY cheap for the performance you get and... have good drivers for me :| You can snag a 1080 for $175 if you look around and a 1080 Ti for $225 or even cheaper (saw one on FB Marketplace for $200 that I REALLY want to pick up!)
Minecraft VR is a thing? I think I can live without that thing. I know regular minecraft kinda sucks but with mods you can get it up to 180fps on this card. I am still using it today.
Yep there was even a Bedrock version for VR but it doesn't work at all cause it won't let you bind controls. And yeah you should stick to reggo minecraft unless you have an insanely good CPU and GPU.
Yeah you'll have a great experience with a 3400g with an rx 580 but if you want to go much faster GPU wise I'd recommend an upgrade to something like a 3600 or a 5600. Going from Zen+ (which is what the 3400g is) to Zen3 will give you quite a big jump in performance in most games due to the faster architecture
🤔 this is the first time im hearing about the VR issue, I have an old blue colored HTC Vibe, i havent tried it out yet, so will i have an issue trying it out?
Not at all actually. This VR issue is only an issue with standalone type headsets like the OG Quest, Quest 2, Pico 3 & 4, that new Vive headset, etc. Any headset that doesn't have a native HDMI or DisplayPort connection means that the GPU has to encode, compress, and send the video signal over USB which is the issue caused by the encoder bit of the driver being borked.
Thats a bit too much but if it comes with a warranty thats not a bad buy honestly. The fact its in stock at a Best Buy however is rather odd unless they've just had some kicking around for eons.
Heck yeah $80 is an awesome deal as long as it's not the 4GB variant. The 4GB variant is heavily lacking in the vram department leaving you to play games at lower graphics settings vs the 8GB variant.
@@Uncle_yandere Really no that is actually not true. All of the used GPUs I have bought have NEVER died on me and that includes my GIGABYTE RTX 2080 Ti I am using right now. You just gotta be smart with who you are purchasing a GPU from AND the condition of the GPU.
@DimondDoesTech Yes you're right, but for rx 580 which are majority were in 2 season of mining 2018 and 2020, is a hit or miss, i bought a xfx rx 580 8gb xxx for a friend as a gift, it was fully serviced like it was putten in washing machine or something. very shiny, it even had the seal in the back which it just a pile of sticker, no way was it believable this never opened considering steel metal was reflecting, eventually with some tests it worked great, memory even OC to 2240mhz, and core clock to 1375, handed over to my friend to upgrade his potato pc, now the new gpu doesn't even fit inside the case, he have bent unwanted parts of metal case just to fit
